In the series finale, we dive into the track “It’s Not Your Fault,” a song that Brendan Bayliss thought might not be on the album at all. The discussion of this song leads to a conversation about Neil Young and his influence on Bayliss.

We want to thank everyone for listening to the series, and please leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts, and share with those you think should hear it.

In Episode Thirteen, we hear Brendan Bayliss talk about “Fenced In,” which was a reaction to the protests of the Summer of 2020, and to the ongoing pandemic. As with a lot of songs, the concept existed for a while, but was brought together by a unique set of circumstances.

Jams which featured early hints of “Fenced In” are featured in this episode. The versions included are:

• 2012-02-03 Minneapolis (Der Bluten Kat, first jam)
• 2014-10-25 Grand Rapids (All In Time; lyrical)
• 2012-05-25 Summer Camp (2x2)
