You Get What You Give: Watch the complete New Radicals inauguration performance and read how singer Gregg Alexander rekindled the group for the first time in years

The song was also used in presidential and Georgia “get-out-the-vote” videos so perhaps between those two events, it catalyzed the invitation for us to perform. It’s such an unexpected honor particularly after the tragic year of 2020 and the hope there’s a little positivity in our song it can bring to the start of 2021 and the Biden/Harris administration.

But a presidential inauguration is vastly different from other potential reunions particularly when our democracy’s at stake. Or when you learn that One in four Americans under 25 has thought of suicide in the last month. So you hope if someone hears you singing, “If you feel your tree is breaking … just bend” on TV, you might give them the tiniest reminder to hang on in the face of the negativity we unfortunately can’t escape online or in the news every day.

The mic on the guitar wasn’t turned on and I realized after I started singing that only my voice was heard by the audience. So I did a head fake trying to get the audience to clap to the beat and distract from the lack of guitar whilst breaking into an unhinged acapellla, ” You Get What You Give” . The show must go on!

I don’t get that kind of anxiety anymore after having played TV and multi-billed radio shows in the late Nineties with sometimes 50,000 people. I had to let that anxiety go a long time ago. We were more anxious about being on a soundstage during Covid – particularly with Danielle’s constant reminders!I have unreleased albums with many songs – maybe as good as my best.

Still ranks as one of the greatest pop albums of a generation. Some of the most memorable lyrics also “we did a porno film for coke, I hear I’m big in Japan”. Timeless, priceless classic

“You Get What You Give” was one of the epical songs of the ‘90s and I’m impressed that Biden likes it.
