Mutemath

at that time, MySpace pages, like you had your standard MySpace where it's like this is blue and you've got your top eight and everything.

But then like you had the, like you say, the overlay where I remember bands like MuteMath.

MuteMath had like this ridiculous MySpace stuff.

Yeah.

I just remember thinking like, how did they, how'd they make it do that? Like you knew how to do it.

Norma Jean had an album back then.

Mute Math released their self-titled album back then.

On the CCM side, you've got music from Mark Schultz.

You've got Big Daddy Weave, Mercy Me, Crystal Myers, who I actually got to meet.

Thank you.

Kyle, you know the band Mute Math that I always talk about?

Yeah, similar.

This is so Mute Math.

I mean, and I know they didn't really invent that kind of sound, but this is how they would perform live.

The drummer was playing some crazy rhythm like this.

He's a drummer.

He used to be in a band called Mutemath that I liked a whole lot.

I mean, I've seen him live like 10 times.

And he is, he's like a...

Um, so he, and he's incredible, and he still, he produces music for other people.

He plays drums in a bunch of different bands now, and all this stuff.

But somebody put up a video recent- And I actually don't know how old this video is, but it's him playing his part for a song from Mutemath called Clipping.

It's a really cool song.

And I'm like, "Wow, what's going on here?" So I get a call from Ted T.

He's working on a band called Mutemath.

I work a little bit on that.

Um, he's done, like, Stacey Rico.

The following day, Spotlight by Mute Math plays in the background as the entire nosy-ass student body watches Edward place his arm around Bella like the cool 104-year-old vampire that he is.

This detail is one that differs from Stephenie Meyer's book universe, as the 2020 novel Midnight Sun would reveal that around that point in the story, book Edward was far too anxious to touch Bella for fear of losing control and drinking all the watermelon flavored Arizona Iced Tea inside of her.

The two hang out some more, and Edward tells Bella of how Carlisle turned him into a vampire in 1918 when he was 17 years old, before inviting Bella over to his house to meet Carlisle and his family properly.
