Speaker 1 (00:02):
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a
rock star? You play a song live and you hear
the roar of the crowd when that first chord gets played,
and they sing lines to you, and they sing specific
lines louder, and it's the best. It does seem pretty great,
but it takes work. I'm music journalist Jordan Runt Talk
and I Heart Radio is taking you beyond backstage with
Phineas on the new podcast song Stories. Phineas and his

(00:34):
sister Billie Eilish conquered the music world with hit records,
world tours, and a mountain of awards and accolades. Song
Stories gives us an intimate look at the craft and
inspiration that got him there. My whole life, I've been
dealing with, blazing through peak life experiences, thinking about the future.
You know, that song is just this reminder to me
of being present, being mindful, being grateful. Songwriting is another

(00:58):
form of therapy for me, confessed stuff in songwriting. On
song Stories, you'll get inside the bedroom studio of one
of the best producers and songwriters working today. Phineas gives
us the unexpected nuts and bolts of the trade. A
lot of songs I have especially done with Billy, where
it's about something burning and I'm like, oh, let me
light a matchstick and then turn that into a beat,
and you'll get uncommon insights into what it means to

(01:20):
be successful in the music industry. Both alongside his sister
Billy and on his own, it's not as scary to
put out a Billy album. I don't know if maybe
it is for her, but maybe it's not for her.
Maybe it's not because it's the two of us. But
doing this completely alone was you know, it's like climbing
a mountain without a rope or something. A lot of

(01:43):
people could play piano better than me, a lot of
people can sing better than me. The thing that I
have to offer that's worth offering is my story and
my perspective. Get Niece's perspective on the new podcast Song Stories,
