(00:00):
But Stefani is here. I can'tbelieve it. I'm so blessed. Good
morning, Thank you for being Gwenand being here on coasts. Oh my
gosh, my favorite. I walkinto the room. You guys, I
don't know if you can see this. Most of you can't because you're probably
in your car and there's a gigantic, monstrous bouquet or what is this an
(00:23):
arrangement of purple irises? And I'mjust like, I cannot stop steering,
and I was like, I wasjust saying, I think those are Siberian
irises, because there's bearded irises.And then the fact that you even these
are these ones, I think bloomearlier and that's why you were able to
find out. Okay, the beardedones are not ready yet. Does it
(00:43):
look like I had one balloom sofar? And I think it was just
here in California because we are becauseit's California, we get everything. Yeah,
So when did you start saying whenyou write the song, Well,
honestly, I am a huge flowerlike flower person. Yeah, like me
and Blake, it's the yeah,like we come together when it comes to
(01:06):
that, Like I'm the one thatshowed him. It was during twenty twenty.
We I was like, can't wejust like because he plants like a
lot of you know, alfalfa orlike you know weeds. Yeah, and
like we we I don't even plantthings you could eat, like plants,
except for the animals. But they'rehuge fields like on a tractor, like
(01:27):
full like full farmer guy right,And it's exciting even to see that happen
because the challenges of Oklahoma farming islike it's not a joke. Like the
weather's crazy and it's like there's somuch against you and there's monster weeds there
and it's crazy. But anyways,I've always loved it. So I said,
let's can we plant some zinias?I call them zenas, but everyone
(01:48):
calls them zenia, So I said. I convinced him, and when they
came up, he just couldn't believeit, Like, so he got in
started getting into it. We startednoticing all the Oklahoma wildflowers, and it
was mostly during twenty twenty because wewere there so much and we were able
to actually see like the seasons changingand see what what things you don't see
if you're not there all at thetime. So long story short, we
ended up at when we were intwenty twenty, the whole family was there
(02:13):
in quarantine and we went on likea little wreki around like the ranch,
just trying to find undiscovered stuff.And we came across this old abandoned it
was probably there one hundred years likea homestead, like small, like smaller
than this room, like almost crumbledto the ground, and around it was
all these purple irises. No.Yeah, and so the irises must have
been planted from like one hundred yearsago. Yeah, And so the irises
(02:36):
are super hardy and they can gothrough whether any kind of storm and like
it doesn't you don't have to doanything, and they'll just literally come back
to life every year. And sowe we transplanted them all the kids pulled
them out hundreds and we planted themover where we were living. And then
then, you know, so that'swhere I got picking purple irises, because
at the end of the day,no matter what happens, that's that's what
we're doing. And that's that's that'samazing, you know, that's love.
(03:00):
It was so bad. I lookedit up in the floriography. You did
not I did floriography. I didn'teven know what that is. Yeah,
I think it's the study of flowers. The floriography says that purple irises represent
faith, courage, hope, wisdom, and valor. So well, that's
amazing. And then you wrote thesong together. No, not at all.
(03:23):
Okay, So I had been writing, like trying to write like a
record forever because I just I wastrying to I've been talking about this a
lot, but like I feel likeas a mom, you guys all probably
know, like it's like it's hardto find time to do things that are
like to me. I consider beinga songwriter and going and doing that like
a selfish thing because it's not likeI have. It's like if I want
(03:45):
a new song, like why wouldI need one? Like I would have
to take like Hall of bat Girlout of the set to play another song,
you know what I mean. LikeI don't need another new song,
like nobody's waiting for it. Likeeveryone's gonna listen to the songs they like
already, you know what I mean. But I want to write a new
song because I love writing songs becauseit's a spiritual thing where if God chooses,
he'll like send one to me.So I'm always like praying for it,
(04:05):
like please, because it's the greatestfeeling ever. It just came to
me purple iris. I was like, that's the song, and that's like
a god thing, you know.So it wasn't a duet and I was
actually writing a song to Blake aboutmy feelings and I played it for him
like I do everything, and hewas he loved it and it had it
(04:27):
for a long time because then Iwent on to write like all the songs
that are gonna end up being myrecord. But this was kind of the
point where I was like, oh, I now I know where I live,
this is the world. And sohe kind of I don't want to
say hinted, but he was kindof like, don't put that out like
that, like don't put that out. Don't just save that one. And
I'm like, why are you sayingthat? And long story short, he
kind of like I was like,do you want to hop on this?
(04:47):
Like I didn't want to be likeI didn't want to ask him because everyone
asked him and I don't want himto think I'm trying to like use him
to like, you know, mysong, but you know what I mean,
Like I would never and plus it'slike a it was a pop song,
like how would that work? Youknow what I mean? And he
his voice is like I do.It's very specific. But I was sitting
(05:12):
at the studio one day and Ijust texted him, I'm like, you
want to try to hop on this? And he was like twenty minutes later
he was there and he sang it, and it was just like a true
miracle situation, like to the pointwhere the street that we recorded on the
studio in Nashville was called Iris Street. Oh no, I swear, I
swear, and Okay, this islike just the universe. It really was.
(05:33):
Signs. It's such an easy songto do, like it just feels
so magical to do live. Andwe did it at the TikTok tailgate and
that was also like I'm like alwaysthe kind of person that's gonna be like
I'm gonna screw this up for sure, Like I'm such a I always mess
up, but it's just who Iam and like and I did it.

gosh, my favorite. I walkinto the room. You guys, I
don't know if you can see this. Most of you can't because you're probably
in your car and there's a gigantic, monstrous bouquet or what is this an
(00:23):
arrangement of purple irises? And I'mjust like, I cannot stop steering,
and I was like, I wasjust saying, I think those are Siberian

are these ones, I think bloomearlier and that's why you were able to
find out. Okay, the beardedones are not ready yet. Does it
(00:43):
look like I had one balloom sofar? And I think it was just
here in California because we are becauseit's California, we get everything. Yeah,
So when did you start saying whenyou write the song, Well,
honestly, I am a huge flowerlike flower person. Yeah, like me
and Blake, it's the yeah,like we come together when it comes to
(01:06):
that, Like I'm the one thatshowed him. It was during twenty twenty.
We I was like, can't wejust like because he plants like a
lot of you know, alfalfa orlike you know weeds. Yeah, and
like we we I don't even plantthings you could eat, like plants,
except for the animals. But they'rehuge fields like on a tractor, like
(01:27):
full like full farmer guy right,And it's exciting even to see that happen
because the challenges of Oklahoma farming islike it's not a joke. Like the
weather's crazy and it's like there's somuch against you and there's monster weeds there
and it's crazy. But anyways,I've always loved it. So I said,
let's can we plant some zinias?I call them zenas, but everyone
(01:48):

been planted from like one hundred yearsago. Yeah, And so the irises
(02:36):
are super hardy and they can gothrough whether any kind of storm and like
it doesn't you don't have to doanything, and they'll just literally come back
to life every year. And sowe we transplanted them all the kids pulled
them out hundreds and we planted themover where we were living. And then
then, you know, so that'swhere I got picking purple irises, because
at the end of the day,no matter what happens, that's that's what
we're doing. And that's that's that'samazing, you know, that's love.
(03:00):
It was so bad. I lookedit up in the floriography. You did
not I did floriography. I didn'teven know what that is. Yeah,
I think it's the study of flowers. The floriography says that purple irises represent
faith, courage, hope, wisdom, and valor. So well, that's
amazing. And then you wrote thesong together. No, not at all.
(03:23):
Okay, So I had been writing, like trying to write like a
record forever because I just I wastrying to I've been talking about this a
lot, but like I feel likeas a mom, you guys all probably
know, like it's like it's hardto find time to do things that are
like to me. I consider beinga songwriter and going and doing that like
a selfish thing because it's not likeI have. It's like if I want
(03:45):
a new song, like why wouldI need one? Like I would have
to take like Hall of bat Girlout of the set to play another song,
you know what I mean. LikeI don't need another new song,
like nobody's waiting for it. Likeeveryone's gonna listen to the songs they like
already, you know what I mean. But I want to write a new
song because I love writing songs becauseit's a spiritual thing where if God chooses,
he'll like send one to me.So I'm always like praying for it,
(04:05):
like please, because it's the greatestfeeling ever. It just came to
me purple iris. I was like, that's the song, and that's like
a god thing, you know.So it wasn't a duet and I was
actually writing a song to Blake aboutmy feelings and I played it for him
like I do everything, and hewas he loved it and it had it
(04:27):
for a long time because then Iwent on to write like all the songs
that are gonna end up being myrecord. But this was kind of the
point where I was like, oh, I now I know where I live,
this is the world. And sohe kind of I don't want to
say hinted, but he was kindof like, don't put that out like
that, like don't put that out. Don't just save that one. And
I'm like, why are you sayingthat? And long story short, he
kind of like I was like,do you want to hop on this?
(04:47):
Like I didn't want to be likeI didn't want to ask him because everyone
asked him and I don't want himto think I'm trying to like use him
to like, you know, mysong, but you know what I mean,
Like I would never and plus it'slike a it was a pop song,
like how would that work? Youknow what I mean? And he
his voice is like I do.It's very specific. But I was sitting
