Speaker 3: playing to five hundred people when you were sixteen, and

19
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,920

24
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I just did three in New

00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 4: Zealand and like god, I just get up on the

26
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 4: stage and I'm just like I just have to like

27
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: every single show, it's never it never feels normal, and

28
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: every show I have to stand there for a second

29
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 4: and actually just look around the room and take it in.

30
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: And it's a crazy feeling.

31
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: And the best thing about you like to converse with

32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: the crowd as well, So you have cocis, you get people,

33
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: you talk.

34
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: Is that a big thing for you? It's got to

35
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: be that way to me.

36
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: I was saying this yesterday, like I really don't, I

37
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 4: really don't like the idea of.

38
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Doing a show, like doing a show for people.

39
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: I want I want them to be like with me

40
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 4: at the show, like doing the show with me, and

41
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: like the idea of of like I was saying, like I.

42
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: Mean at this point yesterday, and I'm just gonna make

43
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: it again because it sounded good that, Like I if

44
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: there was a show that I.

45
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: Did and I come off stage and I wasn't happy

46
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: about it for whatever the reason was.

47
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: It's almost always.

48
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: That it felt like the crowd was there watching a

49
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: show and I was the show that they were watching

50
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: instead of wasn't integrated.

51
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: It was like it wasn't interactive.

52
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 4: Like that's what I want, is like the connection, and

53
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: like I want I want them to be doing as

54
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: much of the show as I'm doing.

55
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, but if.

56
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: You stop down and look at it and you go, oh,

57
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: maybe that show wasn't as good as I'd hoped, then

58
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: what are you suggesting may have happened?

59
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: I think that it just is like I have these

60
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: these wants and needs for my own like.

61
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Like I want I want the crowd to be like.

62
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: You know when it feels right?

63
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, can I just I was at your first

64
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 5: coach performance and you had technical problems, yes, but see,

65
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 5: like we knew with lights and stuff, we understood, but

66
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 5: the way that you interacted with the crowd, I would

67
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 5: not have known. Because and then watching your documentary, the

68
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 5: world's a little blurry, I could see like you beforehand,

69
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: like I would have melt like I would have had

70
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 5: a melt.

71
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: Down, I know, just about to go out and everything.

72
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: Just shuts down.

73
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: So much build up.

74
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: But you then all of a sudden, as soon as

75
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: you hit that stage, Billy, is it just you switch on?

76
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: You have to, don't you.

77
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

78
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: But then you go from that extreme like the show

79
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: that you're going to do tonight and some of the

80
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: other big performances, and then when you go home to

81
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: just the family and you know, mom and Dad are there,

82
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: it's like such a vast change, such a different world.

83
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that you go back to the

84
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: basics of just being at home, but even when the

85
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: party's over and you're going through the idea for the

86
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: film clip in the backyard with your mummy's going and

87
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's going to work, You're sitting

88
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: around the table in the backyard. Like to be able

89
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: to have those conversations, which it seems so simple and

90
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: so normal for any family, but then to be able

91
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: to take that to the world, it must be phenomenal

92
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: to see it develop and grow.

93
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Telling you, dude is a it'd be hard.

94
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: To make sense.

95
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: It's a real experience in my life.

96
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: Can you remember you started writing music at eleven? What

97
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: was your first song?

98
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: Well, okay, when I was a kid, I was writing

99
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: songs like a kid like I was constantly singing and

100
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: constantly making stuff up, but it wasn't like a song song,

101
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: So I wrote like little songs when I was a kid.

102
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: When I was like five is yeah, when I was

103
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 4: like five, I wrote a song with a friend on

104
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: my ukulele about like ukuleles.

105
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: And then like grass.

106
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 4: But my first my first song, I think The first

107
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 4: song that I wrote was a song called I think

108
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: it was either a song that I wrote called why

109
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: Not or a song that I wrote called Fingers Crossed.

110
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: Fingers was about I mean, it was like a lost

111
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: love song, but it was really about the fucking dead. Yeah,

112
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: because it was a I've said this before, but it

113
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 4: was a song exercise. My mom I'm actually was teaching

114
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 4: a songwriting class and one of the exercises was like,

115
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: go home and watch your favorite TV show or watch

116
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: a TV show or whatever, and anything that sticks out

117
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: to you that could be a lyric or could be

118
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: like a just anything interesting, just write it down. And

119
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 4: I was watching The Walking Dead because I was like

120
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: eleven and I like The Walking Dead, and I wrote

121
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: down a bunch of the things that they said in it,

122
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: and like the the episode titles and like, so I

123
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: wrote a song like about it. But it's very like

124
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: you wouldn't know that. It sounds like I'm just talking. Unfortunately, Yeah,

125
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: yes there is. We put it out on SoundCloud when

126
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: I was like thirteen.

127
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: I love the asta is important to you as well

128
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: because of the sound that you got from the buzzle

129
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: when you cross the rutter. I love watching that yes,

130
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: Have you picked up any new sounds in Australia since

131
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: you've been here this time, Dude.

132
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: I haven't been like like I used to be. Like

133
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 4: I used to go out and like walk around and

134
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: do stuff, and I haven't. I don't do that as

135
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: much because it's a little different.

136
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: What about when you scan your food like it's self

137
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: check out, Yeah, that could do it.

138
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't know.

139
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: I would have to go to a store to do that,

140
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 4: but we did. When we were in New Zealand, we

141
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 4: went on a bike ride. Because I've been I've been

142
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 4: going out more for the last couple of years. I

143
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 4: really when I was on tour, I was just like

144
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: scared to step outside because I was just worried, Oh,

145
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be able to people are gonna which

146
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: is like I'm more chill about it now I'm more

147
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: comfortable in it. But so I have been doing more stuff.

148
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: But I've also just been busy. But we were in

149
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: New Zealand and we went on a bike ride and

150
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: there were these birds that like were making this crazy

151
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: fucking robotic boom sound and it was so sick and

152
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: we were moving so I couldn't record it. But I

153
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 4: was with Dora, my friend, and.

154
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 1: We were like, we were like, what is that sound?

155
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: It's so amazing.

156
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: Dora and she makes music too, she's on tour with me,

157
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: but she she she's all she's all about the like

158
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: using weird sounds too, and so we both heard the

159
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: birds and we.

160
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: Were like wait wait wait, wait, wait wait wait wait.
