I 48 00:02:42,733 --> 00:02:45,453 Speaker 2: started playing the guitar and I started coming up with something, 49 00:02:45,453 --> 00:02:47,453 Speaker 2: and I felt like, Okay, we got something going on here. 50 00:02:47,453 --> 00:02:49,093 Speaker 2: And I just stayed and put in a few hours 51 00:02:49,093 --> 00:02:53,213 Speaker 2: and wrote the song that conquered the world. Life is 52 00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:54,653 Speaker 2: just so bizarre, like that. 53 00:02:54,653 --> 00:02:57,013 Speaker 1: Isn't that funny?

This wasn't a dedicated writing session. 56 00:03:03,973 --> 00:03:07,133 Speaker 3: No, it was just my apartment. 57 00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:10,773 Speaker 2: I was just you know, I had my record deal 58 00:03:10,973 --> 00:03:15,253 Speaker 2: and I'd made most of the album, and I needed 59 00:03:15,293 --> 00:03:17,773 Speaker 2: something that was a little bit more uptempo, even though 60 00:03:17,813 --> 00:03:18,573 Speaker 2: Saved Tonight. 61 00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:20,493 Speaker 3: Isn't a very much of an up tempo song, but it's. 62 00:03:20,293 --> 00:03:22,733 Speaker 2: Definitely more than the rest of the album. And came 63 00:03:22,813 --> 00:03:25,213 Speaker 2: up with this idea. And as soon as I started 64 00:03:25,253 --> 00:03:28,053 Speaker 2: getting when I got the line save Tonight and fight 65 00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:30,213 Speaker 2: the Break of Dawn, I knew, I knew what this 66 00:03:30,293 --> 00:03:32,533 Speaker 2: song is about, but I had no idea I was 67 00:03:32,573 --> 00:03:33,613 Speaker 2: writing a hit. 68 00:03:34,293 --> 00:03:36,773 Speaker 1: See isn't it Isn't it funny? But you felt like 69 00:03:36,893 --> 00:03:39,733 Speaker 1: in the process you could you could tell when there 70 00:03:39,733 --> 00:03:41,933 Speaker 1: was a bit of a bit of magic. 71 00:03:42,573 --> 00:03:44,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was something there. And then when my girlfriend 72 00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:46,773 Speaker 2: came home, I said, I've written a song. It's I 73 00:03:46,813 --> 00:03:48,693 Speaker 2: think it's kind of corny, but I think it's good. 74 00:03:50,253 --> 00:03:53,733 Speaker 2: She said, she just said it's a good. 75 00:03:53,573 --> 00:03:54,053 Speaker 3: Song, man. 76 00:03:54,973 --> 00:03:58,413 Speaker 2: But I U When we tracked it and I went 77 00:03:58,573 --> 00:04:01,533 Speaker 2: back to the apartment and listened to it on my headphones, 78 00:04:02,573 --> 00:04:05,013 Speaker 2: I could close my eyes and I kind of could 79 00:04:05,053 --> 00:04:09,453 Speaker 2: see people singing along in the audience. And then I 80 00:04:09,493 --> 00:04:11,573 Speaker 2: got to experience that many times over. 81 00:04:12,533 --> 00:04:16,053 Speaker 1: Ah, that's amazing. It's almost like you you're kind of 82 00:04:16,613 --> 00:04:17,933 Speaker 1: you're foreseeing it in a way. 83 00:04:19,333 --> 00:04:21,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think I think, yeah, that was 84 00:04:21,533 --> 00:04:23,373 Speaker 2: kind of a moment of clarity. 85 00:04:23,773 --> 00:04:24,333 Speaker 1: Yeah. 86 00:04:24,373 --> 00:04:26,293 Speaker 2: So when it came time to pick the first single 87 00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:27,773 Speaker 2: for the album, that was a no brain. 88 00:04:28,893 --> 00:04:29,093 Speaker 3: Yeah. 89 00:04:29,133 --> 00:04:31,053 Speaker 1: I think it was a good call. How I mean, 90 00:04:31,053 --> 00:04:33,693 Speaker 1: how do you like reflecting on it? How do you 91 00:04:33,693 --> 00:04:37,053 Speaker 1: think Save Tonight changed the trajectory of your life. 92 00:04:38,573 --> 00:04:42,413 Speaker 2: In every way possible? I mean, I am, I had 93 00:04:42,413 --> 00:04:45,133 Speaker 2: a different plan, and Save Tonight ruined it because my 94 00:04:45,213 --> 00:04:48,093 Speaker 2: plan was I you know, I have a sister, Nana Cherry. 95 00:04:48,293 --> 00:04:51,973 Speaker 2: She had this massive breakthrough hit with Buffalo Stands and 96 00:04:52,053 --> 00:04:55,173 Speaker 2: her record like Sushi, So I was hanging around a 97 00:04:55,213 --> 00:04:57,453 Speaker 2: lot backstage and behind the scenes, and I kind of 98 00:04:57,493 --> 00:04:59,853 Speaker 2: saw how incredibly intense it was and being on a 99 00:04:59,893 --> 00:05:03,013 Speaker 2: major label and how out of control everything went. So 100 00:05:03,093 --> 00:05:04,773 Speaker 2: I felt like, I think I want to do something 101 00:05:04,813 --> 00:05:09,013 Speaker 2: small first. Ended up signing to an independent label, moved 102 00:05:09,053 --> 00:05:12,093 Speaker 2: back to Stockholm, found a small label here in Scandinavia. 103 00:05:12,453 --> 00:05:14,453 Speaker 2: I thought I'd make an album for Scandinavia and then 104 00:05:14,453 --> 00:05:18,013 Speaker 2: I'd build slowly but surely and eventually. I definitely had 105 00:05:18,093 --> 00:05:21,173 Speaker 2: dreams of getting to travel the world and play my music, 106 00:05:21,213 --> 00:05:24,533 Speaker 2: but I thought i'd build it and then save Tonight 107 00:05:24,653 --> 00:05:26,413 Speaker 2: just had another plan and said no, no, no, we're 108 00:05:26,453 --> 00:05:28,333 Speaker 2: going for it now and had to just go for 109 00:05:28,373 --> 00:05:32,973 Speaker 2: the ride. So I really didn't expect it. But once 110 00:05:33,013 --> 00:05:37,413 Speaker 2: we got going, it was just an unbelievable journey and 111 00:05:37,613 --> 00:05:41,133 Speaker 2: where the way it just went off so all over 112 00:05:41,173 --> 00:05:43,853 Speaker 2: the place. But I still regret that I never made 113 00:05:43,893 --> 00:05:45,453 Speaker 2: it down to New Zealand on the first run. 114 00:05:45,653 --> 00:05:47,893 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was only the first run. This is 115 00:05:47,933 --> 00:05:51,533 Speaker 1: the great thing. I mean, you, you know, have written 116 00:05:51,693 --> 00:05:55,813 Speaker 1: such amazing music over the last three or four decades 117 00:05:55,853 --> 00:05:57,933 Speaker 1: now that it was only a matter of time even 118 00:05:57,933 --> 00:05:59,453 Speaker 1: if you didn't make it on that first run to 119 00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:01,773 Speaker 1: New Zealand. It was only a matter of time before 120 00:06:01,813 --> 00:06:04,253 Speaker 1: you did make it here. Tell us a bit more 121 00:06:04,573 --> 00:06:07,533 Speaker 1: if you can't eaga lie about your about your family 122 00:06:08,333 --> 00:06:10,773 Speaker 1: musical life. You mentioned your sister, but I mean it 123 00:06:10,813 --> 00:06:13,493 Speaker 1: feels like basically everyone in your family is an incredibly 124 00:06:13,653 --> 00:06:14,693 Speaker 1: talented musician. 125 00:06:15,733 --> 00:06:18,933 Speaker 2: It's a pretty serious family business we got going. I mean, 126 00:06:18,973 --> 00:06:21,893 Speaker 2: when my sister's daughter took off Maybel don't call me up, 127 00:06:21,933 --> 00:06:25,133 Speaker 2: I was like, oh man, so there's a lot of 128 00:06:25,173 --> 00:06:28,653 Speaker 2: us making music, and I think it's all very much 129 00:06:28,693 --> 00:06:32,973 Speaker 2: from the what our dad kind of planted in us 130 00:06:33,013 --> 00:06:36,493 Speaker 2: and his love of music and the way he did it. 131 00:06:36,533 --> 00:06:38,853 Speaker 3: You know, he was a jazz musician and we grew 132 00:06:38,933 --> 00:06:39,613 Speaker 3: up on the road. 133 00:06:39,853 --> 00:06:41,893 Speaker 2: He toured and brought the family with him and we'd 134 00:06:41,893 --> 00:06:45,333 Speaker 2: be packing our Volkswagen bus and driving around Europe. And 135 00:06:46,733 --> 00:06:51,453 Speaker 2: for me, playing live is that's the whole purpose of 136 00:06:51,493 --> 00:06:54,013 Speaker 2: what I do. For me, like the right, the recording, 137 00:06:54,173 --> 00:06:57,573 Speaker 2: everything is about getting on stage and making music for 138 00:06:58,213 --> 00:07:01,093 Speaker 2: the people and getting that feedback that you get when 139 00:07:01,133 --> 00:07:04,693 Speaker 2: you're on stage. So all that I think I take 140 00:07:04,693 --> 00:07:06,813 Speaker 2: for my father, you know, because that's what he was 141 00:07:06,813 --> 00:07:07,293 Speaker 2: all about. 142 00:07:07,413 --> 00:07:09,173 Speaker 1: Yeah, So what was that like as a kid, but 143 00:07:09,213 --> 00:07:11,253 Speaker 1: being on the road and seeing the world through the 144 00:07:11,333 --> 00:07:13,173 Speaker 1: lanes of a touring musician. 145 00:07:15,093 --> 00:07:17,093 Speaker 3: I mean, that was the reality that that I knew. 146 00:07:17,173 --> 00:07:19,853 Speaker 3: So it wasn't really until leasure that I really how 147 00:07:19,893 --> 00:07:22,853 Speaker 3: specially it was. And all the. 148 00:07:22,093 --> 00:07:24,053 Speaker 2: Legends that I met as a kid that would just 149 00:07:24,093 --> 00:07:26,093 Speaker 2: you know, colleagues of my father, and I just thought, 150 00:07:26,133 --> 00:07:27,173 Speaker 2: you know, who's this guy. 151 00:07:27,693 --> 00:07:32,853 Speaker 3: Oh later I realized that was Miles Davis. I've met him, 152 00:07:33,893 --> 00:07:36,173 Speaker 3: but it it. 153 00:07:36,133 --> 00:07:38,373 Speaker 2: Was it was a special time and to travel and 154 00:07:38,373 --> 00:07:40,733 Speaker 2: play music the way they did in those days, you 155 00:07:40,773 --> 00:07:42,853 Speaker 2: couldn't even do that today. It was just, you know, 156 00:07:43,653 --> 00:07:47,013 Speaker 2: a whole different time. And to have been part of that. 157 00:07:47,093 --> 00:07:49,813 Speaker 2: I mean when we moved to New York and got 158 00:07:49,813 --> 00:07:53,133 Speaker 2: a loft, our neighbors were the Talking Heads, three members 159 00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:55,733 Speaker 2: that are talking hands lived so every day I would 160 00:07:55,773 --> 00:07:57,853 Speaker 2: hear them rehearsing, and I was like a small kid 161 00:07:57,933 --> 00:08:01,733 Speaker 2: going down, hanging around listening to Psycho Killer over and 162 00:08:01,733 --> 00:08:02,253 Speaker 2: over again. 163 00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:02,493 Speaker 3: You know. 164 00:08:02,613 --> 00:08:05,413 Speaker 2: So so all that has obviously found its way into 165 00:08:05,533 --> 00:08:06,293 Speaker 2: into what I'm doing. 166 00:08:06,493 --> 00:08:08,853 Speaker 1: Yeah, you basically didn't have a choice. It's like, you know, 167 00:08:08,893 --> 00:08:11,653 Speaker 1: your your destiny was already kind of written and started. 168 00:08:11,373 --> 00:08:12,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, I tried. 169 00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:15,253 Speaker 2: I started acting, you know, I went to drama school 170 00:08:15,253 --> 00:08:17,653 Speaker 2: and started working as an active First I tried to 171 00:08:17,653 --> 00:08:18,533 Speaker 2: do something else. 172 00:08:18,413 --> 00:08:20,933 Speaker 3: But yeah, I realized music is a lot better. 173 00:08:21,133 --> 00:08:23,493 Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you like jazz as a kid? You know, 174 00:08:23,573 --> 00:08:26,533 Speaker 1: I can imagine that. I think about my household and 175 00:08:26,613 --> 00:08:29,933 Speaker 1: you know, obviously not not nearly as musical as yours. 176 00:08:29,973 --> 00:08:32,333 Speaker 1: But there's the classic thing where the kids grumble at 177 00:08:32,373 --> 00:08:34,973 Speaker 1: mom and dad's music and then twenty years later they 178 00:08:35,013 --> 00:08:35,693 Speaker 1: actually love it. 179 00:08:35,733 --> 00:08:38,773 Speaker 3: You know. The first album I bought was not a 180 00:08:38,853 --> 00:08:40,013 Speaker 3: jazz album. I'll tell you that. 181 00:08:40,133 --> 00:08:42,653 Speaker 2: I think the first time I bought was the Clash 182 00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:46,293 Speaker 2: London Calling Ah, and I got into the Ramones and 183 00:08:46,333 --> 00:08:48,973 Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff, but it was Yeah, I mean, 184 00:08:50,213 --> 00:08:52,493 Speaker 2: it was later when I really started playing music on 185 00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,933 Speaker 2: my own, and you know, you start really kind of 186 00:08:56,133 --> 00:08:58,173 Speaker 2: just realizing this is what you want to do. And 187 00:08:58,253 --> 00:09:01,133 Speaker 2: I then sat down and listened to the albums that 188 00:09:01,173 --> 00:09:03,373 Speaker 2: my dad had played on, especially the early stuff that 189 00:09:03,453 --> 00:09:06,933 Speaker 2: he did with Ornette Coleman and and and that's when 190 00:09:06,973 --> 00:09:08,893 Speaker 2: I kind of realized, you know. So, I wasn't until 191 00:09:08,933 --> 00:09:11,933 Speaker 2: I was maybe eighteen, nineteen year olds that I really 192 00:09:11,973 --> 00:09:15,933 Speaker 2: realized what the hell he was doing, you know, and 193 00:09:16,093 --> 00:09:19,333 Speaker 2: now I listen toe quite a lot of jazz actually. 194 00:09:19,013 --> 00:09:21,533 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's funny. It's funny how life goes kind 195 00:09:21,533 --> 00:09:26,293 Speaker 1: of full circle with that though you know it. You 196 00:09:26,413 --> 00:09:29,093 Speaker 1: listen to Jack Tame speaking with Iglai Cherry, who is 197 00:09:29,093 --> 00:09:31,053 Speaker 1: coming to New Zealand for the first time, which is 198 00:09:31,093 --> 00:09:34,013 Speaker 1: extremely exciting. You say that touring is the thing for you, 199 00:09:34,093 --> 00:09:37,333 Speaker 1: or at least performing live is is the thing that 200 00:09:37,453 --> 00:09:41,053 Speaker 1: gives you that real that rush, the real sense that 201 00:09:42,053 --> 00:09:44,333 Speaker 1: you know you're getting real time feedback from an audience. 202 00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:46,093 Speaker 1: So tell us a bit more about that. Because you've 203 00:09:46,093 --> 00:09:48,613 Speaker 1: released I think like six albums studio albums over the 204 00:09:48,733 --> 00:09:52,293 Speaker 1: years now, so clearly you're still in the studio and writing. 205 00:09:52,533 --> 00:09:54,813 Speaker 1: What is it about live music that's still so special 206 00:09:54,813 --> 00:09:55,013 Speaker 1: for you? 207 00:09:57,053 --> 00:09:58,293 Speaker 3: I mean, it all makes sense. 208 00:09:58,813 --> 00:10:03,613 Speaker 2: It's it's like for me when I write, I'm always 209 00:10:03,693 --> 00:10:06,053 Speaker 2: thinking about what it's going to be live. You know 210 00:10:06,373 --> 00:10:08,173 Speaker 2: a lot of colleagues that are really into the whole 211 00:10:08,173 --> 00:10:11,093 Speaker 2: studio process and they love sitting in the studio and 212 00:10:11,093 --> 00:10:12,693 Speaker 2: they don't want to do anything else. But for me, 213 00:10:13,293 --> 00:10:16,013 Speaker 2: that's just a step to get to where we get 214 00:10:16,093 --> 00:10:18,933 Speaker 2: up on stage. So the last few albums that I've made, 215 00:10:19,213 --> 00:10:24,053 Speaker 2: I've been very much about writing the songs that I 216 00:10:24,093 --> 00:10:26,733 Speaker 2: need for my live show. So I get back into 217 00:10:26,773 --> 00:10:28,333 Speaker 2: it and I go, oh, man, you know, I really 218 00:10:28,373 --> 00:10:30,053 Speaker 2: like to have a song like this on the set list, 219 00:10:30,093 --> 00:10:32,693 Speaker 2: and then I write it. I have a song a 220 00:10:32,693 --> 00:10:35,053 Speaker 2: couple albums ago that's called I Like It. That's really 221 00:10:35,053 --> 00:10:37,413 Speaker 2: one of those tunes. And then it's so much fun 222 00:10:37,813 --> 00:10:40,053 Speaker 2: when you get up on stage and it works, you know, 223 00:10:40,293 --> 00:10:42,413 Speaker 2: so exactly what I wanted it to do. 224 00:10:43,573 --> 00:10:45,573 Speaker 3: So that, yeah, that's all my whole focus. 225 00:10:45,613 --> 00:10:49,253 Speaker 2: And I think the thing I love the most about 226 00:10:49,333 --> 00:10:51,653 Speaker 2: live concerts, even as a fan, when I go to concerts, 227 00:10:51,733 --> 00:10:55,413 Speaker 2: is that that one and a half hour or whatever 228 00:10:55,493 --> 00:10:59,893 Speaker 2: the set is is a moment where everybody's in agreement, 229 00:10:59,933 --> 00:11:02,613 Speaker 2: when it's a really good show and we're all loving, 230 00:11:02,813 --> 00:11:04,813 Speaker 2: everyone's in agreement that this is the place to be 231 00:11:04,973 --> 00:11:08,093 Speaker 2: and everything else is out side of the door. And 232 00:11:08,133 --> 00:11:10,173 Speaker 2: there's not many moments in life that you get that. 233 00:11:10,413 --> 00:11:12,653 Speaker 2: You know, especially today, when the world looks the way 234 00:11:12,653 --> 00:11:15,293 Speaker 2: it does, It's like, how often do people get together 235 00:11:15,373 --> 00:11:17,453 Speaker 2: and everyone just kind of it's just peace and love. 236 00:11:17,533 --> 00:11:20,213 Speaker 1: Man, You're so right, there's something primal about today like 237 00:11:20,293 --> 00:11:22,573 Speaker 1: it's like something primal in the shed experience. 238 00:11:23,333 --> 00:11:26,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and then when you got everyone singing along together, 239 00:11:26,693 --> 00:11:27,853 Speaker 2: it's just it's amazing. 240 00:11:28,173 --> 00:11:29,973 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I have no doubt that's going to be 241 00:11:30,013 --> 00:11:31,533 Speaker 1: the case when you're in New Zealand. And tell us 242 00:11:31,533 --> 00:11:33,773 Speaker 1: what can we expect from the tour when you hear 243 00:11:33,773 --> 00:11:35,253 Speaker 1: we're going to have all the dates and everything on 244 00:11:35,253 --> 00:11:38,453 Speaker 1: our websites. So you did not expected to remember all 245 00:11:38,493 --> 00:11:40,213 Speaker 1: of those, but what can we expect when you hear? 246 00:11:42,973 --> 00:11:46,293 Speaker 2: I mean, it's more of I'm curious to what I 247 00:11:46,293 --> 00:11:49,853 Speaker 2: should expect, you know. That's the thing about so great 248 00:11:49,893 --> 00:11:52,853 Speaker 2: about my job is you travel around the world and 249 00:11:52,893 --> 00:11:55,333 Speaker 2: you go to a place and hopefully that spot that 250 00:11:55,373 --> 00:11:57,493 Speaker 2: you're in that particular night is the best place to 251 00:11:57,533 --> 00:12:01,173 Speaker 2: be that particular night. And so often you get there 252 00:12:01,173 --> 00:12:02,973 Speaker 2: and you get the crowd and you're like, all right, 253 00:12:03,013 --> 00:12:04,653 Speaker 2: this is a good town. I need to come back 254 00:12:04,693 --> 00:12:07,653 Speaker 2: here and hang out, you know.
