Well? What a question. That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (00:14):

of the crazy shit. I personally just write songs about
my dead parents and I go to bed, so I
couldn't tell you. Maya from Eagle Grove, Ioa says, will

you could never be more embarrassing than I was in
fifth grade? What a fucking Barbara from Utecht, Netherlands. Sorry
if I butche of that. What's your biggest kitchen fail?
(01:15):
It would be the fact that I can't operate in the.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Kitchen would probably be the biggest fail. And the most culinary.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Expertise I can really talk about is how the ratio
on a cocoa pebbles and milk.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Coralie from Seville Grove, Australia, would you do a tour
in Australia, specifically Perth, Western Australia, I beg please, I
will be there. Yes, I am planning on doing one
next year. I can't say when though, because my label
will fucking kill me as I'm talking about this right now.
So but yes, next year, expect it, maybe at the
top of the year. Abby from Atlanta, Georgia says, what's
(02:10):

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Courtney from spring Hill, Florida.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Courtney from spring Hill, Florida says, Hi, Alex, big fan,
what was your thought process for writing the song?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Which song are we talking about? It doesn't say which song?
Carry home?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Courtney from spring Hill Florida says, Hi, Alex Bigfan, what's
your thought?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Courtney from spring Hill, Florida says, Hey, I Alex big Fan.
What was your thought process for writing the song? I'm
assuming you're talking about carry You Home?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And the thought process behind that was we didn't have
a wedding song, so I thought, I'm a songwriter, why
don't I just write it?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Man? Here we go. Zoe from Lincoln, California says what is.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Your favorite part of tour? Who's your favorite artist? Will
you do a Billie Eilish or Phineas cover? My favorite
part of tour would have to be playing show, the
show itself and singing everyone sing my songs back, and
also saying that people actually showed up because sometimes I
wondered if they would.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Who's your favorite artist?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It would have to be Lewis Capaldi or Noah Kahn
And will you do a Billie Eilish Shaffhinias cover? I
was just singing that earlier today. I don't know if
I ever will, but I would love to. It just
comes down to me being confident enough not to fuck
that song up.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Violetta from Queens.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
New York says, can you tell us a little bit
about your early years starting out?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Did you travel far away.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
From home to sing? My early years, starting out I
was five, we would do We'd do home theater. Starting
out I was five years old, we used to do
talent shows for my parents. I couldn't play a lick
of guitar until I turned sixteen, and to this day,
I still suck at guitar. So we'll see how that's going.
And did I ever travel away from home to sing?
(03:52):
As far as I could? But that was probably a.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Few miles to the school talent show. I was talking about.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Cassie from Innneapolis, what's your first job? My first job
was teaching kids how to surf at like fifteen years old.
Jocelyn from Stephenville, Texas says, have you ever gotten to
go to o Wahu with Cover?

That's actually one of the first times I met Cover.
I surprised her in Hawaii at Sandy's Beach in HAWAIIU.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So yeah. Camillo from Jacksonville, Florida says which artists have
influenced your music the most and how have they shaped
your style?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I think Noah Con for sure has influenced a lot
of my music, and Capaldi especially I think for the
longest time I didn't know how to use my voice,
and once I heard Capaldi and con songwriting and everything,
it really kind of helped me figure out what kind
of artists I wanted to be, so I would say
that for sure. Lisa from Raleigh, North Carolina says, what
was your first cell phone? My first cell phone was
an like I think it was an LG or Motorola.
(04:50):
It was a white like slide up. It had the
keyboard like that. It was a white slide up. I
forget what it's called, but it was the coolest phone
in the fucking world. Shanoa from Brisbane and Australia says,
I remember you saying that your mom wanted you to
find someone like Cover. Is it just me or do
you see a certain feature that cover has to match
your mom?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Also? Are you once of the fuck?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, My mom was an alcoholic, it was abusive. There's
probably nothing that I finding cover the same. Peyton from
Mount and Juliet, Tennessee, says what's your favorite color and
your favorite sport. My favorite color is yellow, and my
favorite sport is eating. Rose from Davenport, Indiana says, is
the reason you started music? Still the same reason you
(05:33):
still in music today, I would say so. I started
writing music because I didn't know how to share my emotions.
Now I'm really good at sharing my emotions and I
write depressing music. So I think we've gone up in
the world a bit. Sandra from Burlington, Ontario says, random question,
but what is.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Your favorite food? In and out?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I will die on this fucking hill. In and out
will be my last meal on earth, and I could.
If I could, I would eat in and out every
single day. Katie from pata On, New York says what
song are you.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Most proud of?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I would say save Ucy or You'll be all right kid.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I've written a lot of songs, and I think those
two are the best songwriting and production and kind of
what I would say if someone asked me who I am,
I would show.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Them those songs. Mary from North Mary from New York
City WU tang clan eate nothing to fuck with yeah,
It says, to blank with mess with yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:31):

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Faith from Porterville, California says, Hi, Alex loving the new
song by the way, singing live in LA in November.
I wanted to ask you, writing a song about your relationship,
does it come easy to you?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Or is it difficult? Love you and Cover?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
It was definitely easy to write about my relationship with Cover.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
The hardest part was.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Writing things that weren't cringy as hell, which I struggled
with a lot. I've made tons of love songs and
I've hated every single one of them.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And I came home and carry You Home.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
And just knew immediately that that was my that was
my favorite. Caitlin from Sudbury, UK says what advice would
you give to aspiring musicians.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I think honestly, just try try to write things that
are real to you. I see this so often where
people just write songs because they think it will be
a popular record and it ends up being the least
favorite song. I mean, I've done that too, where I've
written the song and I thought it it would be
my best song ever.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Because I thought it'd just be popular, and I now
refuse to play that song. So yeah. Lily from Knoxfeld.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Lily from Knoxville, Tennessee says, how do you protect your
hearing in the studio and on stage? We have in years,
so I have custom molded ears to my In the studio,

if you take one out you get vertigo. So we're
trying our best to get that.

throw a ball? Not far enough.

Sabrina from Paris, Frances If you could change anything of
your past to make.
