1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: Another big interview forty are wety Good morning, Liam? Hello, Hello, 2 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: how are you men? Fantastic? 3 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 2: Sure. 4 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: The last time you and I spoke, you were telling 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: me to kiss scars. Do you remember that you called 6 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: me and then you were just like being from myself? No? Yes, 7 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: so you told me to kiss scars. What are you 8 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: telling me to do today? That's the thing. 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: I'm telling you. Not to worry. That's what I'm telling 10 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: you today. 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: Okay, not to worry. But then you told me to 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: kiss scars. But that that made me worry first. And 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: now I'm not gonna worry anymore because this makes sense though. 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: But on a serious note, it's always great to chat 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: to you, Liam. I know that we may have seen 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: each other at a certain event recently. But you're such 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: a talent, my friend. You can go anywhere you want 18 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: to with your music. You can do whatever genre you 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: want to. There's not even a thing called genre anymore. 20 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: That's what I believe. By the way, So tell me 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: about worry. C there's something to the name of the 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: song I feel as well. 23 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: Definitely. So. The song was inspired by the way in 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: which the ocean or the sea in the Bible is 25 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: referred to as a metaphor for chaos and a metaphor 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: for doubt, so worry c So in the verse of 27 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: the song there is this atmosphere of being worried and 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: drowning in your worries, essentially drowning in an ocean of worries. 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: And in the chorus there is this huge contrast of 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: realizing that God is way above and beyond all your 31 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: problems and that sometimes acknowledging that, well, we'll get you 32 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: to half way, halfway to overcoming those problems. 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: Essentially, Wow, okay leam, ok. But you know what the 34 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: thing is, I've always known that you've been involved with 35 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: the church and your faith has been such a strong 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: binder of your music as well, and it's great to 37 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: have a song from you that just says what it is, 38 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, That just is like, this 39 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: is a song about you know, being looked after by 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: your higher power. No matter what happens, no matter what 41 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: ebb and flow that the sea may offer, there's always 42 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: that stability. There's always that calm somewhere, and that calm 43 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: comes with prayer, that comes with you know, just looking up. 44 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's that's something very very powerful and 45 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: I like to see that in I'm going to call 46 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: it in the pop industry that makes. 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: Sense, definitely, definitely, and decide that it's just also just 48 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: realizing how at the end of the day, how insignificant 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 2: you are. It can sound very countintuitive, yeah, but realizing 50 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: how insignificant you are would sometimes just make you realize 51 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 2: how insignificant and your problems are at the end of 52 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: the day as well. 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: I see what you mean there. I know it sounds 54 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: when you say you're insignificant, it sounds very ominous, but 55 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: I know what you mean. It's basically, you know, we're 56 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: all part of a massive journey that's ahead of us. 57 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: There are many footsteps we need to take. It's an 58 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: ocean of footsteps that we need to go in either direction. 59 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: And we will think about, ah, the step I took, now, 60 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: oh it's going to go downhill from here. You realize 61 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: there's so many footsteps to take. You focus on that 62 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: one footstep thinking it's the end, and it's not. And 63 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: I like that metaphor as well. This is the depth 64 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: in your music, man, it comes from us somebody like 65 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: you who is you know, just you've been busking, now 66 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: you've been into studio as well creating the music. I'm 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: very intrigued about your path and have you ever sat 68 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: down and thought like, this is what my music is 69 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: going to be about, this is where I want to 70 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: see myself playing. What are those manifestations like for you? 71 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: Definitely? I have sat a lot and thought about what 72 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: type of music and what type of message I would 73 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: like to put out in the world. And I think, 74 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: especially with my first one, I realized that I would 75 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: like to spread the message of the power of being 76 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: vulnerable and the power of vulnerability. Yes, in that us 77 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: as humans often shy away from being vulnerable when it 78 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: can be a great power at the end of the 79 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: day and a source of comfort and a source of 80 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: self acceptance through being able to share your experiences with 81 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: others and others being able to relate to you, and 82 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: just realizing that you're not alone in this journey we 83 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: call life. 84 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that because you know, we're all on 85 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: the same sea and sometimes it's filled with worry, but 86 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: you never know. The next tide may take you to prosperity. 87 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: But you've got to keep the faith. We have to man, 88 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 1: that's the vibe. There you go, Look at that, Liam, 89 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: You see. This is why one day, you know, one 90 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: day we'll do a show together. It'll be like a 91 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: it'd be a nice not just like a show that 92 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: we did recently. I'm talking like, we're gonna do a 93 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: show and we're gonna talk talk people through the music, 94 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: man through the word in your music, and then you perform. 95 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: Then we have another moment where we speak to the 96 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: word of your music, then you perform. How's that that'd 97 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: be such a cool thing. 98 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: I like that idea. I think you yourself should get 99 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 2: into song that. I think so because you're very metaphorical 100 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: and in the way you speak, I must say. 101 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: You know a form. A former colleague of mine, all right, 102 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: Tarn Lamb, always said that I must be a songwriter, 103 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: And I just think that obviously, working on a radio, 104 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: you have to talk in a way that is vivid 105 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: and it's imaginative so that people don't just have this 106 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: flat this is vamkvi song like you have to you 107 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: have to really speak to color, speak to the big pictures. 108 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: And I think that's the beauty of radio as well, 109 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, and that's the beauty of songwriting because sometimes 110 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: when you listen to a song, you are sat in 111 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: a spot that the artist wants you to sit in, 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: and you are there. You were immersed. You smell the grass, 113 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: the flowers, the water, you feel the tears on your 114 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: own cheek like that's the beauty of writing. But yes, 115 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: if you're asking me to write you a song, Liam, 116 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: I know that's a kind of a by the bye way. 117 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: I will write you a song, all right, Okay, we're 118 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: going to do it together.

I know it resonates 122 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: with so many people, and I know that this song 123 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: will resonate so much it could be in the future 124 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: a KFM Top forty charter.
