Speaker 1: Here again in our pubs as well. Was there a

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: moment where you thought about bringing the family and just

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: hiding out on the Hawksbury River or something in Sydney

49
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: and coming to Australia.

50
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: We tried, but I got told we're not famous enough.

51
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: Mate.

52
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: We could have stucked you in.

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: We could have said it was I don't know somebody else.

54
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: We could have said it was bon Jovi.

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 3: We could.

56
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: Do you know what. I remember too, And there was

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: trouble last time you were here because I went to

58
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: see the show, which was awesome, but there was a

59
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: big celebrity that was also in town and his name

60
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: was Elton John and he'd actually taken the suite at

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: the hotel that you were both staying it Elton and

62
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: did a shout out to say, mate, thanks so much

63
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: for taking the big suite at the hotel that.

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 3: I think it's well known that he and I don't

65
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: like it. Then we've we've physically so you should. I

66
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: can't play the piano very well. I can't sing you

67
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: single bands? Shit.

68
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: What are some of the aliases? Talking of hotels and

69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: booking in? Have you had some aliases Ivy the years, Chris?

70
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: Or do you just use your name?

71
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: I normally check in under like Prince Harry or something

72
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: like that.

73
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: How's that working out for you?

74
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: Better than Prince Andrew? Pretty good, Chris.

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: We heard the new track the other day. Amazing, It's

76
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: got a bit of an Iaves vibe to it. It

77
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 4: was kind of yeah, it was lots of fun, were

78
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: right that.

79
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: I just life. I think, Yeah, I don't think I

80
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: know so No, I'm listening to so many things all

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: the time, and including stuff from the eighties and nineties

82
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: and fifties and going for a big sach face. But

83
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. You can hear that, yeah, sure, sure.

84
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: I love that idea too, that you are open for

85
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: whatever sound might come your way. So when you're listening

86
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: to different music and whatever artists are out there, because

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: you would get I would suggest a lot of artists

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: approaching and saying, hey, we think Coldplayers right for this one.

89
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: I think Chris Martin's right for this one.

90
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: Well, that's the really kind of thing you'd said. Sometimes

91
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: that happens. Yeah, I don't know if any of you

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: write songs or paint or anything. Sometimes I feel like

93
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: I'm just following a muse, and sometimes the song in

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: a strange way, says, oh I want to be sung

95
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: by this other person as well. Yeah.

96
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: Is it really tough, though, to say to someone who

97
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: you might actually really respect as an artist, but that

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 4: you don't think you would go well together musically.

99
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: I've never had that. One time I had that with

100
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: a band called The Streets in Mikey Skinner. Yeah, and

101
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: they had a song called Dry Your Eyes and like

102
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 3: sing on it, And I said no because I thought

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: he sounded amazing. Right, posh guy to come and sing

104
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: on this song. It needs to be you. I would

105
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: still do the same thing because I thought I thought

106
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: it was perfect already. Did he take that?

107
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: Did he accept that on? Was he?

108
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: Then? The song was like number one and everything so

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: it all turned up. Wow.

110
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: There's nothing better as a parent than being in the

111
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: car putting on a song that you like, because a

112
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: majority of the songs that you put on, they don't

113
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: they're not interested at all. But when you put on

114
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: certain songs and you hear their ears prick up and

115
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: they look up and they go, oh, dad, this is

116
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: really really good, it's a huge.

117
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: Connection as a parent connection.

118
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: Get that. Yep? I agree?

119
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? They did they do that with Coldplay songs your children.

120
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't listen to them. Nuts. I

121
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: think that would be a bit mean to put them

122
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: on the spot.

123
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: Pick a song, any song, Pick a song song.

124
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: For review right now, or you're not getting dinner? Are

125
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: you still working on a green tour Chris? To go

126
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: around the world and yeah, is that still the worst?

127
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: So yes, I did say that in an interview when

128
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: we were doing this album called Everyday Life about eighteen

129
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: months ago, and we thought that saying that would be

130
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: kind of a disaster. I don't know why we thought

131
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: it was a silly thing to go public about then,

132
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: But what actually happened is that so many people and

133
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: organizations have reached out in the in the interim and said, oh,

134
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: we do this type of staging or this this way.

135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: So it's been actually an amazing period of time in

136
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: terms of working out. I don't think we can ever.

137
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: I don't think right now we can get to a

138
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: perfect green tur We could definitely get some of the

139
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: way there and keep improving brilliant, And it's super cool

140
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: because it's a big it's a big teamwork, you know.

141
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: If this is a new single that hopefully leads to

142
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: a new album. Are you boys ready to hit the

143
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: road again?

144
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: Chris?

145
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: Like has it been is coming five years now? Are

146
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: you looking forward to it or are you still enjoying

147
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: your time at home?

148
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: I mean my whole being is built to play goals

149
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: for people. Yeah, exactly, but I'm also trying to be

150
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: accepting of you know, I'm trying to not rely on

151
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: that to be you know, happy with each day. So

152
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: but as soon as as soon as we can, of course,

153
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: what are you kidding. We'd love to have you back, mate.

156
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: is great to hear your voice again. It's great to

00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: hear some new music, mate, and we really appreciate your time.

158
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: Chris, Thank you you too, all of you. Thet's like

159
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,680
