Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I think, you know what, For me, the main thing
is I think just keeping it as honest as possible.
You know, I don't know what it is about being
on the stage, but for some reason, I just do
feel really safe. They're and safe to be kind of
open about stuff, which I think is a.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Really beautiful thing.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
So when I'm on a stage, I don't feel do
you know what, I'm gonna try and get who I
am across as much as I can and talk through
the songs as well and stuff like.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
That, Yeah, which is really cool.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
And that's a kind of a hard balance because you're
a performer, you're an artist, yeah, so you have to
like go out and do your art. Yeah, but at
the same time you tend to keep it real, yes,
because like some people are like if it was me,
I would be like, all right, here we go, We're
going out there, We're just gonna be going crazy. But
I'm a different person. But I feel like you're same person,
seem demeanor, same everything. So that's that's kudos to you.

Do you know what? It was? Quite It's quite a
draining one for me, actually, because there's so much you know,
I was talking about honesty in that, but that one
I was really that honest, and I really took me
a lot of heart and passion to chip away at that. Yeah,
over that two in a bit of years, I mean
because also we've been on the road, so I've kind
of been working on it as we've been on the road,
and so it's honestly since I put it out, other

(02:27):
than singing at the shows, I'm like, it's not mine anymore.

We have. We have about a month left of like
some of like I'm doing quite a lot in Europe. Yeah,
so it's going to be It's Look, it's everything I
could have dreamed for. I think the important thing is
just pacing myself, you know, and I am taking some
time near the end of the year. But it's definitely

(03:26):
been like I've been woken, do you know what I mean?
Like really working.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
What do you think you would do if you weren't
like into the whole music musician, if you didn't want
to do music?

Speaker 2 (03:38):
What do you think I think i'd be like a lawyer.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Or yeah, but you're too sweet to be a lawyer.
No offensive lawyer. You're too sweet like you be.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
You know when I'm I feel like you know the way, Yeah,
I've noticed this about myself when someone does something to me,
I can kind of off like and not take things
too personally. But if someone does something mean or horrible
to someone I love or something I see, that's the
unfair or injustice. I literally I'm.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Like, the could you do? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
It's like that protective.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Thing you're You're way all ring.

Speaker 1 (04:17):

what I mean. So I think it would be that
kind of same thing. If I was a lawyer, I'd
be like, how could you even think about doing that? Her?
