"Interlude: Ann (Live In NYC)" lyrics - LAWRENCE

[Clyde Lawrence, spoken]
So we're gonna, we're gonna keep it down for a minute, um. One of our favorite people in the entire world is our Grandma Ann. And, um, when we were starting to write our album Living Room a couple years ago, she was always one of the first people we'd play our songs for, and she passed away right as we were writing the early stages of our album Living Room. and so immediately we knew that not only would the entire album be dedicated to her, which it is, but also that we wanted to bookend the album with songs that were specifically in her memory...

(Cheers)

[Clyde, continued]
And um, thank you. And our Grandma Ann was a fantastic singer and she was a very boisterous, attention-seeking Jewish grandmother...

[Crowd]
(Cheers)

[Clyde, continued]
Shout-out to anyone who has one. Um, and she always liked to steal the spotlight by anytime anybody was singing happy birthday, at the end after "Happy birthday to you" she'd go, "And many more", and that became like her catchphrase, "And many more". And after she died, Gracie and I were just sitting in our living room, and we just started, like, playing this repetitive, almost prayer thing, that was built off of that "And many more" idea, and lo and behold it actually became like a theme that appears like throughout our album a number of times and um, we've never actually performed "And Many More" ever in concert but we wanted to do it for you tonight

[Crowd]
(Cheers)

[Clyde, continued]
And we wanted to bring out a very special guest, very near and dear to our heart, our little brother Linus

[Crowd]
(Cheers exuberantly) Linus, Linus, Linus, Linus, Linus, Linus
Linus, Linus, Linus, Linus, Linus, Linus, Linus

[Clyde, continued]
Wow, alright then he can just play the rest of the show without us, um, so this song is dedicated to our Grandma Ann, and also to our parents that are here, and a very, very special dedication to our Grandpa Lee who is here, this song is for you
