Angie: We both do embrace music as the “safe space”. It allows us to work through things but also share honest, raw experiences that we know everyone else goes through too. It’s healing. Chris makes jokes about some of those songs written after some tense moments when we are on stage. People get a kick out of that because it’s nothing unique to us. Every couple goes through those growing pains. I love that our music is relatable.
Angie: It was pretty instantaneous and to be completely honest, it caught us both off guard. So unexpected. Over time, we’ve just settled in more and are so comfortable playing with each other. It’s kind of involuntary sometimes. He knows where I may go vocally, I can feel where the bass line will go and we just dance. It’s pretty special. Keeping that level of inspiration up requires balance. Some days you need to step away and just go do something unrelated to music, go out with a friend, go sit in the park or just have some time alone outside at home. We both made a commitment to one another that if one or both of us needed some space we would just be honest about it. We are together all day, every day and we love that, but we need to preserve what brought it all together in the first place. That was our individual personality, but even funnier…when we go about the alone time thing, we end up calling each other a lot. It’s cheesy but we love being around one another!
Chris: We produced and directed that video ourselves. We wanted to capture that essence of finding your perfect match. Having Angie at the piano or alone on camera lends to that feeling of vulnerability and to an extent, loneliness. Our hope is that the video illustrates all that I went through personally when I sent all those messages to her in that first part of our relationship. There is something intimate about cellos and violins. We thought it just added to the vibe we were trying to create.
