Music Roast w/ Stevie Starlight | This Past Weekend #102

This episode brought to you by Gray Block Pizza. Gray Block. Now you know what
it is.
Imagine, say if you're trapped in a wishing well, you know, but there's no
wishes in it because
something happened with the way it was built and they had asbestos and they
couldn't put any wishes
in there. And you can have one person throw something down that wishing well
and you can
catch it in your mouth. Guess what that's going to be? I'll tell you what it's
going to be.

episode. Today, I've got a
man that's in here. Here, let me... Some of you who are listeners who have been
here since day one
will recognize this song.
Yeah. Yeah. This thing will make you want to play your leg, boy.
I'll make a game higher than a mountain. You hear that? You hear this one, huh?
Set me free. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Just don't say goodbye.
Yeah. It's you and me. Enjoy the destination.
Nation. Nation. Nation. Nation.
Fantasy. Fantasy, baby.
Paint it on the wall.
It's never too late to come over.
Time slips away from you and me now.
So don't hesitate.
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
Guys, that song is, uh, it was, uh, given to us, uh, in the beginning of this
podcast used
by a man, a magical element of the universe. I mean, just like, I mean, in a,
in a special
type of human, almost like a, you know, uh, you know, as if like the, as if,
you know, they
had some dark arts, but the Lord gift wrapped them, you know? It's almost like
the devil and
the Lord just cleared their throat at the same time and just spit something
right here into our
studio. And this beautiful creature is here today. And that is Mr. Stevie Starlight.
Awesome, man. Stevie Starlight.
What's up, bud?
Good to have you, man.
Thank you.
Yeah. Nice to see you today.
You too.
Dude, thanks so much for coming in and joining us.
My pleasure.
Um, we just kind of like, I don't want to say we pirated your song.
No, it's good. I kind of wanted to-
You moved that closer to you, sorry.
I wanted to donate it to you guys and dedicate it as, as a, uh, gift for, uh,
what you do
for all your fans, you know?
Oh, right on, man. Well, we, yeah, I mean, we definitely love it. Like, I feel
like, well,
why don't you tell me, like, how did this song come about for you?
Well, you know, I just kind of just came to me. I don't, I don't mean to just
like
shortchange it like that. It just really came in a matter of five minutes.
Wow.
And usually my best songs come that way.
Yeah?
Yeah. Like the ones I work on for a while, people are like, all right, they don't
really
feel that, you know?
Yeah.
What do you think it is about that?
You know what? It's just a gift from God when it comes like that, man.
Yeah.
It's one of the music gods. When they give it to you like that, you just got to
take
it and just run with it.
Do you find that there's a certain time of the day or year or anything like
that? And there's
a water for you right there if you want it.
Thank you.
Do you find that there's a certain time of day or that you feel those like
compulsions
or those?
You know what? There's no time and no exact time because it comes at random
hours. It'll
be four in the morning. I'm sitting in bed. I'm like, I hear a little something
in my
head. I go, I got to get up and go put that down. Because if I don't, it just
goes into
the ether, gone. And then I'm like, damn, what could that have been?
Wow.
You know, and when I do force myself to do it, and sometimes it is forcing
yourself
to do it because it's like, you got to work it.
Yeah.
And you do it and then it's like, wow, I'm really glad I did that.
Yeah.
But for that particular song, I remember I was sitting, it happened like, boom,
I got
this little riff.
And then the lyrics just came out. A man could be higher than a mountain. It
just really just
came out. And I wrote it all down on paper within 30 minutes and the song was
done.
Yeah, it's a hit, man.
Thank you, bro.
And so whenever, like, how did you get into the tunes, man? How did you get
into tuning?
My stepdad played a lot of music growing up. You know, 12, 13, I was breaking
the strings.
He'd be coming in, whooping me.
Yeah, was he a decent man?
He was. You know what? I didn't understand at the time. He was very strict,
very disciplined,
disciplined, you know, to the max, you know?
Yeah.
Scary.
Wow, yeah.
Plus he was Guatemalan and that didn't like, you know?
Yeah, Guatemalan, dude. It's a fruit, too, if you have a lisp, you know?
Yeah, Guatemalan, right? So, yeah, you know, it was like, he was very musical,
though. So
I'm very thankful for that. He had keyboards all around. I was always just
trying to pick
up what I could, you know?
So that's really how you got into music. It was basically because of your stepdad
had these
elements around.
Totally. Very much so. You know, he was there and he would lock them all up in
a room and
I'd sneak out and I'd go into the room and I'd have to lock that door up, you
know? But
I eventually figured out a little trick. I put a belt on a coat hanger and I'd
latch it
underneath the door and get it just right where I'd hear it and I'd pull it
down and the door would
lock and I'd be out the other side.
Wow.
And then he figured out my trick later on, you know? He wanted to whoop me, but
he's like,
it's pretty smart that you figured that out.
So he had to respect it a little, huh?
Kinda, you know?
With music, like, what's your journey been like with music? Like, did you start
here
in Los Angeles? Did you come here to Los Angeles?
See, my real dad was like a playboy. He was out here working for Orion Pictures,
doing the
whole thing, you know? He's a single bachelor man. And I'd come out here on the
Christmas
vacations in summer and I'd love the air out here. I felt something was
different about
this place, you know?
And I'd want to be out here. And he'd be like, hey, what's your stepdad doing?
Is he still
whooping you? I'll come in there and whoop him. Like, he would be like that.
And he actually flew to Texas one time.
Really?
He was pulling your ear, he goes, step outside, Steve. And all I hear is like a
cartoon.
And he walked out, he goes, come on, let's go to the park, Steve. My real dad's
Italian.
Crazy dude, man.
So you had the Italians and the Guatemalans going at it.
Yeah, totally, man.
Wow, man. Your mom likes to fuck abroad, huh?
Yeah, and they both have like the same birthday.
No.
November, yeah. Both hardcore Scorpios.
Dang.
Crazy, right?
So what does that tell you about your mom? Like, when you look at her partners,
like,
what is that?
My mom's a crazy fire, too. She's an Aries. And she's just like, I don't know
if that's
fire, but she's very, she's like her mom a lot. She's Aries, same kind of vibe.
I feel
it. Yeah.
It's like, you know, it's a certain energy, you know, but they want to be left
alone, but
they also want to do a lot on their own. They've got a young mind, but they're
also very smart
about things. It's interesting. But I love my mom. I talk to her. I don't call
her all the
time, but I wish I would. I don't call anybody all the time. I spend a lot of
time
with myself. Solitude.
And so when you got out here, so your father, your real father was living out
here.
Yeah.
So you came to visit him.
I did.
And then at what point did you kind of make that move, that full move out here?
When I was 17, I got kicked out of my place in Texas.
So then you had to come out here?
Yeah. So my dad goes, all right, come with me. And I spent a week on my dad's
couch.
He booted me, kicked me out there, too.
For what?
Because I rode my bike and I snuck out of the house. And he's like, you want to
go out with
them? You want to go outside? Go out with them now. And he took my bike,
brought it
downstairs. He goes, now you go with them.
Wow.
And I had nowhere to go. And I was like, call him. Dad, please, can I come home?
And a week
into it, no. But he's like, a week later, he's like, all right, come on, Steve.
Wow. A week he made you stay out.
Yeah. A week I was out there, bro. And I was running with these freaks, belly
dancers in
Venice, going nuts on rooftops. I'm like, I love this. People playing bongos,
going,
paka, paka, paka. I'm like, this is awesome. But like two days later, you start
getting
hungry. You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You wonder where am I going to go? Where am I going to sleep tonight? That roof
is kind
of getting a little weird, you know?
Yeah. So then you had to get back home.
Yeah, man.
And then when did the... So now you had these music elements, you're living
with your dad
out here.
Yeah.
And then what happens?
You know, I just found that this is what I want to really do. I got to put my
best foot forward
and really just stay on the grind and just like, you know, take it seriously.
A
