In this episode of "That Takes Me Back," hosts Kelan David and Maia Sage discuss the connection between music and memories with guest Chuck Jay. He recounts a memorable experience in Hawaii listening to a 38-second interlude by Kendrick Lamar called "Butterflies" which became a significant memory for him, and an instrumental that he freestyles over therapeutically. The hosts and Chuck Jay also explore the value of interludes, the creative process behind songwriting, and the importance of authenticity and human touch in music production. Chuck Jay shares his journey from being in the band Wave11 to going solo, his upcoming tour in California, and his first solo album coming soon.

Legal disclaimer:
This podcast sometimes uses short clips of songs so we can reminisce about them, talk about why they matter to us, and dig into what makes them special. We don’t use full tracks or full copyrighted works—just the small bits we actually need for the conversation, woven into longer, story-style episodes. Because of that, we believe our use is transformative and falls under fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the UK and EEA, and similar exceptions in other countries. This show exists to educate, entertain, and connect people through music. The clips we play don’t hurt the market for the original songs—if anything, they help by pointing listeners back to the artists and their work. In the episode notes, you’ll always find links to official, licensed, royalty-paying streams of the full tracks we feature. With that being said, if you’re thinking about sending a DMCA (or similar) takedown notice: please don’t. We take this seriously and will push back on unfounded claims.
