00:00All right, so what's another song you're going to play for us this morning?

00:02Wait, I have to play two?

00:03Yes, it's two. Now do it.

00:05I got the one. I thought that was the deal.

00:06We got a sack of doorknobs right out there ready to go.

00:09All right, I'll play Fire.

00:11All right, Fire.

00:12Which is a song of mine that I wrote.

00:14Okay.

00:15With my mind.

00:16Okay.

00:20You're just joining us. That is Barnes Courtney,

00:23who's going to be playing at the Fillmore tonight.

00:25Tickets available at the FillmorePhilly.com.

00:29So while you were playing that song, I spoke to Casey over here, our producer, Barnes.

00:34You would have listened to me, but that's cool.

00:35I was listening, but I had to take a moment.

00:40It's fine. It's fine. It's all right.

00:42You got to pay your dues. I get it.

00:44No, I was listening to the keyboard sound that Agam was playing,

00:47and we play a game here called Name That Song in 8-Bits,

00:51and it uses that particular 8-bit video game effect.

00:56Do you want to play one real quick and see if you can...

00:59I didn't know this would be a test.

01:00It's a test.

01:01Are you ready?

01:02I'm ready.

01:02Here we go.

01:08She's a good...

01:09Oh, man.

01:11He's a pro, man.

01:14Congratulations.

01:15What a dude. Tom Petty.

01:16Yeah.

01:17You have just won yourself a digital download of Ant-Man and the Wasp.

01:21It's available now.

01:22No way!

01:23Digitally on 4-bit for HD.

01:24It's all coming up, Bogsy.

01:29Let's try another one.

01:30There's more?

01:30Yeah.

01:31Let's try another one. Here we go. Listen.

01:38You know it.

01:41Oh, okay. Yeah.

01:42Oh, I'm going to be, I'm going to be the man who's coming home to you.

01:47You got that right.

01:48I'm really ginger, and I've got a brother here, and he's also equally as ginger as me.

01:54Case, what do we have for him?

01:55We've got a case of Yard's rival IPA right now.

01:59Am I actually winning? Is this real?

02:01We'll give it to you.

02:02I'm just being sarcastic right now.

02:03This is actually the citizenship test you never took.

02:06All right.

02:07Should we do one more?

02:08One more.

02:09Case, which one should we...

02:10You know what? The one that you have, I love.

02:12Okay. All right. Let's try this. Last one for Barnes.

02:20Oh, I know this song.

02:25Oh, I should have just quit while I was ahead.

02:27I know the tune, but I can't know you in my brain.

02:30I'll give you the artist.

02:31Hold on.

02:34The melody should be kicking in.

02:38Right here, I think. Here we go.

02:40I got... I got nothing.

02:45Don't know that one.

02:46I know it. It's a very good song.

02:48Peter Gabriel?

02:49Yeah. Peter Gabriel.

02:52The name of the song is Salisbury Hill.

02:54Oh, God. I can't believe I didn't get Peter Gabriel.

02:58I got the Pretenders, but I didn't get Peter Gabriel.

03:01That's incorrect. I'm sorry, Barnes. You didn't get it right.

03:04We're going to have to take back the download of the beer.

03:07Oh, man. What was I going to win?

03:09That was like a Prius, wasn't it?

03:10Yeah, no.

03:11That was...

03:11It was.

03:14Yeah.

03:14And unfortunately, you don't win.

03:17I know that song.

03:18That's all right.

03:19It's because you brought me in here like early in the morning.

03:22You did it deliberately, didn't you?

03:23You just ashamed me in front of all these people on the radio.

03:25You didn't get a chance to, you know, get ready for it and practice.

03:28I'm a musician. I'm not meant to be up at these hours.

03:31It's fundamentally against our DNA.

03:33I wanted to ask you about writing because I was reading an article in Rolling Stone about you

03:37that said you have a difficult time writing when you're happy.

03:43It's better when there are things going on in your life.

03:46That's why I pay a troupe of men to sort of beat me consistently in the studio.

03:51You want to be in a constant state of misery.

03:52Yeah, exactly.

03:54Blunt objects mainly.

03:55Things they find outside in the street.

03:57Sticks, stones.

04:00Yeah.

04:00For sure.

04:01No.

04:01But the songs are...

04:02Doorknobs in a sack.

04:04Doorknobs in a sack.

04:06To keep me on my toes, you know.

04:08I don't want to get too comfortable.

04:09Orange is in a sock.

04:10Yeah, it's surprising that you're going with doorknobs instead of something a little bit

04:14more malleable.

04:15Listen, I don't tell them how to do their jobs, okay?

04:18Hey, we're the professional beaters.

04:21Let us do what we do.

04:22Are you an only child?

04:23Me?

04:23Yeah.

04:24No, what makes you say that?

04:26Because only childs are usually weird.

04:32No, I think I was dropped a lot as a baby.

04:34Oh, okay.

04:34I was just trying to get the root of it all.

04:36No, you have a great sense of humor.

04:38That's what I keep telling everybody.

04:39Does that help things, keep things light when you're on the road?

04:44You just try to have a good time?

04:45It does sort of quell the crippling depression that plagued me from a young age.

04:49I didn't know we were going to bring that up for this interview.

04:51I'm sorry.

04:52Well, we're just trying to get you...

04:53Maybe it's inspiring you to write a new song.

04:57Possibly.

04:58I don't know.

04:59All right, so what's another song you're going to play for us this morning?

05:01Wait, I have to play two?

05:02Yes, it's two.

05:03Now do it.

05:03I got the one.

05:04I thought that was the deal.

05:05We got a sack of doorknobs right out there ready to go.

05:08All right.

05:08I'll play Fire, which is a song of mine that I wrote with my mind.

05:15Okay.

05:18Ladies and gentlemen, once again, this is Barnes Courtney.

05:21Yeah.

05:22Lonely shadows following me, lonely ghosts come a-calling, lonely voices talking to me.

05:37Now I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone.

05:41My mother told me, son, let it be.

05:45Sold my soul to the calling, sold my soul to sweet melody.

05:53Now I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone.

05:57Lord, give me that fire.

05:59Oh, Lord, give me that fire.

06:03Oh, Lord, give me that fire.

06:08Burn, burn, burn.

06:12A thousand faces staring at me, thousand times I've fallen, thousand faces dead at my feet.

06:27Now I'm gone, I'm gone.

06:28Now I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone.

06:32My mother told me, son, let it be.

06:37Sold my soul to the calling, sold my soul to sweet melody.

06:44Now I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone.

06:48Lord, give me that fire.

06:50Lord, give me that fire.

06:55Lord, give me that fire.

06:59Burn, burn, burn.

07:06Oh, sin, devils come a-calling.

07:11Calling my name out, lost in the fire.

07:24Virginia blood is calling, calling my name out, lost in the fire.

07:37Lord, give me that fire.

07:39Oh, Lord, give me that fire

07:43Oh, Lord, give me that fire

07:47Burn, burn, burn

07:51Hey, Lord, give me that fire
