"1 4 3", what does that mean? Well, here's a little background for you:</p>
<p>"The song '1 4 3' is about sharing the gift of love, just because you have it to give - inspired by Mister Rogers’ interpretation of the number "143" as "I Love You" as a way for him to spread love to the world, and the way the world spreads love to him.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/520583/3b83da991e3ad44fb9825c74117174c2cd7f8a36/original/andyz-143-coverart-ft-final.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_thin" alt="1 4 3 album artwork" style="margin-top: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" /><br>Just scroll down this page to listen and buy the track, and scroll down a little more to watch the <a contents="official video premiere" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://youtu.be/z6wvh5NCytM" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2980b9;"><strong>official video premiere</strong></span></a> tonight at 7PM PST on YouTube.
