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

21
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,960

22
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: thousand ye people critically, so I mean, this is this

23
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,839

00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: Isn't it. It's nuts. It's it's so sick like the

25
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: show that I get to do.

26
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I just did three in New

27
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 4: Zealand and like god, I just get up on the

28
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: stage and I'm just like I just have.

29
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: To like every single show.

30
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: It's never it never feels normal and every show I

31
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: have to stand there for a second and actually just

32
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 4: look around the room and take it in.

33
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: And it's a crazy feeling.

34
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: And the best thing about you you like to converse

35
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: with the crowd as well, so you have sis, you

36
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: get people a lot, you talk.

37
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that a big thing for you?

38
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: Like, it's got to be that way to me. I

39
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 4: was saying this yesterday, like I really don't. I really

40
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 4: don't like the idea of doing a show, like doing

41
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 4: a show for people I want.

42
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: I want them to be like with.

43
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: Me at the show, like doing a show with me,

44
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: and like the idea of of like I was saying,

45
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 4: like I me at this point yesterday, and I'm just

46
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 4: gonna make it again because it sounded good that, Like

47
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: I if there was a show that I did and

48
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: I come off stage and I wasn't happy about it

49
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: for whatever the reason was.

50
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: It's almost always.

51
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: That it felt like the crowd was there watching a

52
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 4: show and I was the show that they were watching

53
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: instead of wasn't integrated.

54
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: It was like it wasn't interactive.

55
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 4: Like that's what I want, is like the connection, and

56
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: like I want I want them to be doing as

57
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 4: much of the show as I'm doing, you know what

58
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 4: I mean.

59
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: But if you stop down and look at it and

60
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: you go, oh, maybe that show wasn't as good as

61
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: I'd hoped, then what are you suggesting may have happened?

62
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 4: I think that it just is like I have these

63
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: these wants and needs for my own like like I

64
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 4: want I want the crowd to be like.

65
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: You know when it feels right?

66
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, can I just I was at your first

67
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: coach performance and you had technical problems, yes, but see

68
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: like we knew with lights and stuff, we understood, but

69
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: the way that you interacted with the crowd, I would

70
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 3: not have known because and then watching your documentary, the.

71
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 5: World's a little blurry, I could see like you beforehand,

72
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: like I would have melt like I would have had

73
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 5: a melt down, I know, just about to go out

74
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 5: and everything just shuts down. Much build up, but you

75
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, as soon as you hit

76
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: that stage, Billy, is it just you switch on? You

77
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 5: have to, don't you.

78
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

79
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: But then you go from that extreme like the show

80
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: that you're going to do tonight and some of the

81
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: other big performances, and then when you go home to

82
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: just the family and you know mom and dad are there.

83
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: It's like such a vast change, such a different world.

84
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that you go back to the

85
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: basics of just being at home, but even when the

86
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: party's over and you're going through the idea for the

87
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: film clip in the backyard with your mum, I don't

88
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: know if that's going to work. You're sitting around the

89
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: table in the backyard. Like to be able to have

90
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: those conversations, which it seems so simple and so normal

91
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: for any family, but then to be able to take

92
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: that to the world, it must be phenomenal to see

93
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: it develop and grow.

94
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: Telling you, dude, it'd.

95
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 2: Be hard to make sense.

96
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: It's a real experience in my life.

97
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: Can you remember you started writing music at eleven? What

98
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: was your first song?

99
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: Well, okay, when I was a kid, I was writing

100
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: songs like a kid like I was constantly singing and

101
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: constantly making stuff up, but it wasn't like a song song,

102
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: So I wrote like little songs when I was a kid.

103
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 4: When I was like five is yeah, when I was

104
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: like five, I wrote a song with a friend on

105
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 4: my ukulele about like ukuleles, and then like grass and

106
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 4: my first my first song, I think. The first song

107
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: that I wrote was a song called I think it

108
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 4: was either a song that I wrote called why Not

109
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: or a song that I wrote called fingers Crossed. Fingers

110
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 4: cross was about I mean, it was like a lost

111
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: love song, but it was really about the fucking dead. Yeah,

112
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 4: because it was a I've said this before, but it

113
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: was a song exercise.

114
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: My mom.

115
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 4: I'm actually was teaching a songwriting class and one of

116
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: the exercises was like, go home and watch your favorite

117
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 4: TV show or watch a TV show or whatever, and

118
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 4: anything that sticks out to you that could be a

119
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 4: lyric or could be like a just anything interesting, just

120
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 4: write it down. And I was watching The Walking Dead

121
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: because I was like eleven and I like The Walking Dead,

122
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: and I wrote down a bunch of the things that

123
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: they said in it, and like the the episode titles

124
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: and like, so I wrote a song like about it.

125
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 4: But it's very like you wouldn't know that. It sounds

126
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: like I'm just talking. Unfortunately, Yeah, yes there is.

127
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: We put it out on SoundCloud when I was like thirteen.

128
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: I love the astrola is important to you as well

129
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: because of the sound that you got from the buzzle

130
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: when you cross the roads. I love watching that. Y.

131
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: Have you picked up any new sounds in Australia since

132
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: you've been here this time.

133
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: Dude, I haven't been like like I used to be.

134
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 4: Like I used to go out and like walk around

135
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: and do stuff, and I haven't.

136
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: I don't do that as much because feels a little different.

137
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: What about when you scan your food like it's self

138
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: check out, Yeah, that could do it.

139
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: I don't know.

140
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: I would have to go to a store to do that,

141
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: but we did. When we were in New Zealand, we

142
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: went on a bike ride. Because I've been I've been

143
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: going out more for the last couple of years. I

144
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 4: really when I was on tour, I was just like

145
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: scared to step outside because I was just worried, Oh,

146
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be able to people are gonna which

147
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 4: is like I'm more chill about it now I'm more

148
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: comfortable in it. But so I have been doing more stuff.

149
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: But I've also just been busy. But we were in

150
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 4: New Zealand and we went on a bike ride and

151
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: there were these birds that like were making this crazy

152
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 4: robotic boo sound and it was so sick and we

153
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: were moving so I couldn't record it.

154
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: But I was with Dora, my friend, and we were like,

155
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: we were like, what is that sound? It's so amazing.

156
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: Dora and she makes music too, she's on tour with me, but.

157
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: She she she's all she's all about the like using

158
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: weird sounds too, and so we both heard the birds

159
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: and we.

160
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: Were like wait wait wait, wait, wait wait wait wait.
