The month of Leo's and parados and Gladiola's. 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.680 The month of trying to get the pool cleaned out 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:18.560 because ick ooh, need a little more shock in there. 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.040 The month of kids going back to school. It's the 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.040 month we start to tire of the summer heat and 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.400 the go go go, and we start to slow down. 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.960 We linger in front of the air conditioning a little longer, 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.640 we turn the fan up a little higher. We avoid 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:40.239 the afternoon sun whenever possible. Well, unless you're me and 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.960 you're out in the garden and you get foolish. I 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.280 hope you are staying cool, staying sane, spending time with 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.760 people and things that make you happy. Say the name 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.240 Kate Hudson and watch the eyes of whoever you're talking 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:59.000 to light up. Kate Hudson has that effect on people. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.600 Just say your name and it makes me smile. She's 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.360 bright and vivacious, she's captivating. She's got talent as deep 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.280 as her beautiful smile is wide. We all want to 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.680 know what her latest project is so we can go 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.720 get our tickets and plan a girls' night out. Well, 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.960 I have got news for you. Kate's latest project isn't 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.160 a film you'll have to make a date to go see. 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:29.600 It's something different altogether. It's not a book she's written too. 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.520 It's not a fitness brand. She has those also. It's 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:39.080 a new music album. After rising to Hollywood prominence with 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:44.600 her portrayal of Penny Lane in the musical drama Almost Famous, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.480 Kate stirred up a little musical drama on her own 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:54.840 with Glorious, her debut studio album. It's lead single, talk 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:59.480 About Love, dropped on January thirtieth, and it created quite 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:03.520 a buzz. Two more singles, Live Forever and Gonna Find 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.880 Out were also released before the full album came out 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.239 in May, when we were treated to all twelve tracks. 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:18.120 The album is described this way, natural, easy, engaged. There's 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.519 both her self examination and celebration of self flowing through 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:27.200 the twelve songs. Kate Hudson understands the phrases and stages 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.040 of modern music in a way that's fluid but defined, 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.760 honest yet willing to leave it all at the door 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.760 in the name of love. She's not sure what took 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.919 her so long, especially with all the music whirling inside 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.240 of her. Raised between Colorado's mountains and Santa Monica and 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.400 Malibu's beaches. Kate came of age with radio that delivered 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.360 everything from Pearl Jam to De La Soul and so 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:58.200 many women Billie Holiday, Eded James, Joni Mitchell, Alanis Morris, 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:03.119 sat Madonna, Patty Grim and Chrissy Heine who captured all 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.040 the emotions of teenager feels. Today, we're going to get 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.120 a chance to talk to Kate and ask her what 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.480 took her so long to release her album. But first 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.960 we're going to drop a few words about a sponsor 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.760 that helps to make these conversations happen. Have you been 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:24.040 looking for a milk replacement because you have dairy allergies 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:30.600 or sensitivities. Well, I found one that's absolutely amazing. It's 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:36.840 Sherry's hazel Cream, made from Oregon hazelnuts. This plant based 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.880 milk stands out from the competitors because it's designed for 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:45.080 cooking and baking. It all started because Sherry, who could 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.920 no longer tolerate dairy products, wanted to make gravy, but 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.720 not gravy that tasted like coconut or oatmeal. So by 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:57.440 enlisting the help of her engineer husband and a friend 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.120 that's a food scientist, and through my which trial and error. 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:06.000 Sherry's hazel Cream was born because of a special roasting process. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.440 It's very neutral and taste and works with a large 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:13.680 variety of recipes. It comes sealed in shelf stable, easy 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:18.120 to use, pre measured portion pods that you place into 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.839 your blender. Add varying amounts of water to make milk 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.320 cream or even condensed milk for pies and other mouth 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:32.120 watering desserts.

I think that was part of the process 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.560 of writing Glorious, was that when in two and a 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.920 half weeks we had like twenty six songs. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.040 So we get to hear twelve of them, that means 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.520 we got what fourteen more to go? 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.719 Yeah, of that one of that, of that iteration of writing. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.400 But there's so much music in me. I just I 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.840 can't wait to write for myself or even for other people. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.400 So it's been it's it's it's been this beautiful edition 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.960 in my life and I've loved sharing it. And I 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.760 have to say, Delilah, people walking up to me. You 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.960 know a lot of times they still say, you know, 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.479 I love your movies, but how it's happening now with 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.000 music is so like it just warms my heart because 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.400 people are listening and they love it, and they and 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.320 they come up and they talk about and they tell 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.240 them what their favorite songs are, and it's so much 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.360 more personal, you know, and I love I love connecting 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.120 with people, so it's pretty amazing to do it through music. 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.680 That was my response when I heard you, because I 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.920 was told that you were gonna, you know, do this 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.560 by a friend of ours in the music industry, and 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.000 I'm like, yeah, whatever, and then he sent me one 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.560 of the cuts before it was released, and I'm like, 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.560 what the hell? Like oho, no, And then I was like, 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.720 I felt I kind of I gotta be honest, I 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.360 kind of felt cheated. I thought, why haven't we got 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.760 to hear her all this time? Like that's like not fair. 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.280 I feel like sometimes I have to stop myself from that, 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.200 which is because a lot of times when I would 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.720 feel like my in the pocket, I'd be like, why 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.320 did I take so long? And then I'm like, no, 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:45.400 I can't do that. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:50.080 You're exactly where you're supposed to be at this moment.

And that's a 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.160 very you'll you should listen to some of those songs 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:42.800 because I think you're going to love them. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.600 You know what I love most about you your smile, 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:53.000 Like your smile is infectious, Like I just say your name, 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.320 Kate Hudson, and I smile thinking about your smile. 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:02.880 Oh, Delilah, thank you, thank you for saying that I 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:03.520 love you. 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.080 You got more than acting.

Was in your arsenal of goodness? 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.880 I mean, that's a really loaded, long kind of questions. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.080 I guess if I could sing like you sing, I 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.239 am such a glory hog and such a show on 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.880 I would have been said years ago, my donna, get 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.000 the hell off the stage. I got the microphone now. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.720 You know. Honestly, for me, I always wanted to do it. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.000 And then I I mean, when I became kind of 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.720 known for acting, it was sort of like people in 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.240 your life would be like, don't cross try to cross over. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.720 You've got a great thing going, like if you go 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.000 try to like do music right now, it could affect 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.000 your film career. And and I was so happy at 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.080 the time, and it was you know, to become successful 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:21.520 and as an actress. It's a very challenging thing and 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.600 and like I felt very lucky, so I sort of 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.160 put music to the side, but I kept doing it 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.480 and then and then I just married all these music 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.480 men and they knew how musical I was. And what 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.480 was so interesting was they were always like, make music 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.160 all you know. They're my my my two ex'es, my 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:45.760 two baby daddies. They were always super supportive. But I 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.120 kind of felt like, you know what, two touring musicians 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.880 and it's too much for a family. And then I 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.440 got and then I kind of got cold feet. When 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.720 COVID happened, I was just that was it. I was like, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.680 what I kind of was reflecting on my career, creative life, 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:05.080 and in my creative life, like, am I am I satisfied? 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.960 If I died tomorrow, would I feel like I left 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.720 anything on the table? And it was just so huge 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:17.840 to me that I'd never pursued music, and really writing 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.920 music is something I love so much that I just 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.320 was like, why am I so afraid to put this 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.120 out into the world. And so that sort of started it, 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.080 and I just realized I had to just do it 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.760 and for myself, for my own like creative kind of work. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.840 I just was like, whatever happens with this will happen. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.679 But if I don't do it, I'll regret it and 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.200 I can't live with regrets. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.000 All twelve tracks are ones you wrote, right, Yeah, Yeah, 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:52.360 And I. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.839 Wrote with I wrote with a coupled I wrote with Danny, 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.480 my partner, and I wrote with Linda Perry, who is 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:05.960 an amazing songwriter, and she was really Linda sort of simultaneously. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.400 She kind of overheard me singing on this kid's on 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.360 our school we had, you know, was COVID, so there's 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.760 this like a zoom thundraiser, you know, and they asked 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.160 me to sing an acoustic version of Firework.

I had the same reaction. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.160 I mean when I heard Jim Ryan sent me a 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:53.360 couple of songs off of glorious and I'm like, what, like, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.199 you have this massive talent, only. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.520 Like the people closest to me really, because they're always 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.280 the ones that are like, get to the piano, like 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.000 sing one of your songs and I'm like no, you know, 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.360 so there's so only like people that I feel comfortable 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.400 in my living room has ever heard anything that I've 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:15.160 written or you know, And I honestly, you know, Delilah, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.960 this this time, it really does feel like there was 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.200 a void in me this whole time in my adult life, 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:28.800 like that I was missing something and I don't feel 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.199 out it anymore. And that's a really interesting thing for 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:36.760 me because I, you know, I it just shows that 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.200 it's it really is my love language music, you know. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.840 It's like that is that is it?

You know. 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.600 We've been working on this, uh, this cover that I'm 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.240 going to put out soon, and there's just music. Music 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.040 is just everywhere. There's things are coming to me that 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.480 have never come to me before for that are music related. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.000 And if there's anything that I want to talk about do, 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:11.040 it's usually music related, you know. So it's really amazing that. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.000 So do you feel like you've kind of been born again, 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.760 like there's this whole new new life. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.600 Yeah, and it just it's I think it's a really 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.960 interesting thing that it's happening at this time in my 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.920 life versus when I'm young. You know, it's it's a 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:33.040 grind of a business. You have to really really love it. 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.080 It's a grind. It's expensive to get music out into 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:37.600 the world. 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:43.680 Well, the industry today is a completely different industry than 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:48.760 it was when you were much younger. Yeah, you know, it's. 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:49.080 It really is. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.200 It's not just a grind, it's a machine. I started 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:58.360 in radio in nineteen seventy four, and back then, artists 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:04.040 came into our studio every day, I mean every day. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.200 I was on a rock station in Kusbabergen, which is 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.240 ten thousand people, and James Taylor came into our studio, 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.800 Carly Simon, you know, they were together back then, or 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.600 together and then a part or whatever came into the 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.840 studio and hung out all day on the air. 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.920 It's so great and it really connected you to to 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:30.120 like the actual area. I still feel, honestly that people 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.080 should still do that, Like I really believe in like 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.160 the local radio and news, and like when you're really 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.960 promoting something that you should actually go because it says 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.320 something about you know. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.920 Yeah, but back then we could ask anything we wanted. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.760 Now we get a list of the questions we're allowed 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.520 to ask, and it's they call it in you know, 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.880 it's it's prepackaged and you just insert your voice. Half 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:59.720 the time it's like, yeah, you also missed the drug 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.760 air of it all because they would bring. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:04.640 There's tons of weed. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.120 Oh no, no, no, no, it was other stuff. And 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.920 I was such a nerd gait. I was such a 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.280 freaking nerd. I would be like, oh, is that what 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:15.280 I think that is? 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.760 The studio? Oh my god. 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.120 I was such a big fat no. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.640 Oh. It's so funny. You know. There was a scene 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.360 and almost famous where we go into the radio and 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.920 he's like falling asleep as they're trying to do their 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:34.000 the disc jockey's falling asleep. But yeah, it was also 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:38.480 like I guess, like for me, the purity of what 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.680 I love about music and what I actually can hold 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.960 because it's not like for as much as I would 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.200 love to be able to go and make that like 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.320 my number one life, like I will always love making. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.680 I'm about to go make a movie in October and 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:58.200 doing the show, so I actually can really sort of 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:00.840 keep the ccurity. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.640 Because you're not dependent upon it. It's all about joy. 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:05.520 That's right. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:07.800 What a gift. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.440 It is not lost on me that that's a real 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.080 blessing because I and for me, I think I love 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.919 that I can then just write and make the music 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:19.400 that I want to make. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.160 You know, and you don't have to be a part 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.080 of the machine and sell your soul to to get 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.600 the music out there. You can do what you want 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.560 and write what you want and say what you want 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.399 and tell me while we're here, talk about love. 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:35.879 Talk about love. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.520 And who's the cutie in that video? 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.200 Isn't he so cute? He's just a really great dancer. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:44.399 He's been in a lot of stuff. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:50.240 But on you the black Sequence thing, I'm like, dang, girlfriend, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:51.920 you look so pretty. 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.960 I love that outfit.

Catching up with the delightful Kate 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:14.520 Hudson today, Isn't she a breath of fresh air? Before 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.680 we wrap things up with Kate, I want to share 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.960 a few words about another one of my fantastic podcast sponsors. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:27.480 Mercy Ships, has been transforming lives for over forty years. 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.760 Many people in our world have no access to healthcare 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.480 and as a result, they must endure pain and suffering. 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.680 But with the support of volunteers and donors, Mercy Ships 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:46.200 can go to these communities and perform free surgeries. Surgeries 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.280 that help mothers see their babies for the first time, 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.360 surgeries that allow little boys and girls to run and play. 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.600 They change lives through the work they do. Now, thanks 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.360 to the launch of the Global Mercy, the first custom 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:06.320 built hospital ship of its kind, they can help even 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:10.560 more people. The Global Mercy is projected to serve one 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.800 hundred and fifty thousand patients over the next five decades. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.480 Four year old Amato from Southern Senegal was the first 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.720 to receive surgery on the Global Mercy. Born with one 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.320 windswept leg and one bowe leg, he missed out on 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.960 so many things kids love, but thanks to the treatment 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.840 he received from Mercy Ships, Amatu can't wait to run 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.879 around with his friends, and he dreams of all that 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:42.800 lies ahead. Learn more about Mercyships at mercyships dot org. 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.040 Tell me where that song came from? Talk about Love? 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.640 Well, So talk about Love for me was like it 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:55.159 really was. It was actually a song that we almost lost, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.040 like we couldn't figure the song out. It had a 0:19:58.080 --> 0:19:59.880 great hook. It was sort of this sort of disc 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.000 hook in the writing sketching process, but it really was 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:09.360 just a hook. And when we came when Danny kind 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.439 of got all of the you know, we had written 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.720 twenty six songs. When Danny had got the whole project 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.880 and was sitting with it and kind of really producing 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:20.920 all of the music, he basically said, I got to 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.439 figure out talk about Love because it's such a good 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.199 It's just such a good hook, and I already had 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.119 written so many of the lyrics and I loved what 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:33.480 I wanted to say, So talk about Love really was 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.880 that the one song on the album that we kind 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:40.080 of sort of leaned into. It's a little bit it's 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.760 probably a poppyst song on the album other than Lying 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.840 to Myself, And it's really just about why is it 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.600 so hard to talk about the one thing we need 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:52.520 the most? And for me, it's a very simple way 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.639 of like communicating that we need to be connecting. 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:02.879 That embodies my entire career fifty years on the radio 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.440 in one set of lyrics. That's my old show is 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.080 about connecting. We need to connect. We need to connect, 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.080 we need to share our heart, we need to stop fighting, 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.200 we need to stop being divisive and talk about love. 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.959 That's it, we really do. And it's the it's if anything, 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:26.159 Like I just don't understand why it's so hard for 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:30.520 people to talk about it and why it's where people 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.560 get all. I mean, I guess at this point in 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.040 my life, I do understand why it can be hard 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.320 for people. But like you have to break it open, 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:40.879 you know, And that's kind of what the bridge is. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.119 It's sort of like I'm standing right in front of you, 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:46.359 like let's like just take it. Just like open it, 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:51.359 open your heart and really like be open to love. 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.919 We know what the antidote is to all of the 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:58.119 stuff that's going on in the world, right but we 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:03.200 still refuse so many people refuse to like lead with it, 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:06.960 and that is love and of all of the things 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:09.920 that people want you as a you know, personality or 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:12.399 a celebrity to get involved with politics or this that 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:15.040 I'm like, I can't. I just want to talk about 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.240 I just want to talk about connecting and. 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:23.680 Love and therein lies everything. There in lies the antidote, 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:30.840 the healing balm of everything that is wrong with our world. 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:34.199 Yeah, and you know it is in every scripture. It 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:38.240 doesn't matter where you come from, what you study, how 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:38.760 you pray. 0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.880 Love is the answer. It's the maybe we just need 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.040 to blast your song twenty four to seven. 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:50.639 Yeah, that's to me like what I love to write about, 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:52.920 you know. And I realized when I was done with 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:55.560 all of the songs that that was the theme of 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.920 my whole album was just like how glorious is love 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.000 and all of it and all of it you know, 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:02.679 even when. 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:06.360 It hurts, especially when it hurts. 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:08.480 Because you know, when it hurts, I really believe, like 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.040 any muscle, like your heart just gets bigger and stronger. 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.600 And my my only thing I always say, like, because 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.239 I am so obviously look at my life like you know, 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:22.080 I'm I have I've been I have three dads, my 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:25.439 all my children have three. But somehow we've figured this 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:30.400 amazing like life out that's very not a traditional one. 0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.920 But it's all at all leads with like. The only 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:38.080 way you can make something like that happen is really 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.800 being an advocate for love that goes with the kids 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:42.640 and the dads and all of us. 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.119 Well, I love you, Thank you for spending this time 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:47.640
