1

Speaker 1: How is your month going. Are you seeing any signs

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: of spring yet? Any daffodils or crocus popping up out

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: of the cold, hard ground. I've got quite a few

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: daffodils that have popped up. They're not blooming yet, but

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: they've popped up out of the ground. I'm not so

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: sure they're happy about the way the weather has gotten

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: weird after that weird cold snap. They probably felt it.

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: They probably felt like pulling the covers back up over

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: their little daffodil heads and sleeping a few weeks longer.

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,680

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: come roaring in like a lion, but hopefully it will

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: go out like a lamb. It is a month of transitions,

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: and by the time that the month of March has passed,

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: spring will be showing off in many wonderful ways. Let's

15

Speaker 1: thirty or forty years of my career, Diane Warren, along

88
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: with a beautiful talented young actress and singer. And my

89
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: daughters and my granddaughters are all in love with so

90
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Fia Carson. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you guys. Tell

91
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: It Like a Woman. I need to hear about how

92
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: this collaboration came together, how you two came together, and

93
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: how that collaboration came together. So I wrote the song

94
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: for the movie Talt Like a Woman, which is a

95
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: it's basically seven short films within one film about women's

96
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: various women's stories and struggles, and it needed to be

97
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: a song that could really speak to getting through it

98
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: and giving yourself some applause for everything that you went

99
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: through that you got through it. And it's really an

100
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: really empowering song. And there was nobody that I could

101
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: have gone to side Sophia to do the song because

102
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: she's she is what that song is all about. She's

103
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: such a strong woman, amazingly beautiful on the outside, beautiful

104
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: on the inside, great singer, and here we are. It's

105
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: just great that and it just got nominated for an

106
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: Oscar and yeah, not that, but yeah, give yourself apause. Yeah,

107
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: that's that's amazing. And just the fact that this song

108
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: is really, like like you said, it's you know, it's

109
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: resonating with people, it's resonating beyond the movie. That's the

110
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: best case scenario when you do a movie song or

111
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: any song that it resonates. But if you write something

112
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: for a movie and it fits that movie, which is

113
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: the first thing you have to do, but when it

114
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: can go beyond that movie and speak to what people

115
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: are going through, and everybody really needs to give themselves

116
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: some applause. No matter who you are, you have to

117
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: stop and go you know what. Life isn't easy. One

118
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: of the things I noticed when I listened to it,

119
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: like for the third or fourth time is that it's

120
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: an anthem and you could have had like share with powerful,

121
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, tear your guts out, powerful voice, but Sophia,

122
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: your gentleness with those strong words combined, it's like silk.

123
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: Silk is the strongest fabric. Did you know this? The

124
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: silk thread if they could replicate If scientists could replicate

125
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: a silk thread, you could suspend a truck from a

126
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: rope like a half inch long. Wow, I mean a

127
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 1: half inch around. It's the strongest fabric there is. Wow.

128
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: And they can't they can't replicate that. And yet it's silk.

129
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: It's the soft, it's soft and it's strong. And so

130
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: that's that's Sophia. Yeah, that's what I got out of

131
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: that song. And you're not You're like, but you're not

132
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: like that and all that. You know, you didn't need

133
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: that for that song. You couldn't have beend it, you

134
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: know it needed Yeah, powerful and in the power is

135
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: I can't explain what I'm trying to say. Maybe and

136
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: the emotion, Yeah, it's like it's the that's what I got.

137
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: I love. This is an empowerment song, but it is

138
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: like silk. It's strong, but it's not abrasive, it's gentle.

139
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: If other singers would have saying it, it could have

140
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: been you know, could have it might have been abrasive.

141
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: But what Sophia brought to it is that quiet power.

142
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: It's like that wiet power. You're right, It's like, yeah,

143
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's like you know, it's like some of

144
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: someone whispers and you have to like lean in to

145
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: hear it, right, and then it's that's what's beautiful about it.

146
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: But it's still powerful and at the end you get

147
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: you go full on power. Then yeah, So I've got

148
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: some questions here, Sophia, that granddaughter wrote to me who

149
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,240

00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: or every song they steal a piece of your heart.

156
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: You know, you pour a piece of yourself into this

157
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: character and you love them for a different reason. Um.

158
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: But it is true maybe with kids as well, that

159
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: you too have favorites or at least I have favorites,

160
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: I would say right now, maybe because it's fresh just

161
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: in my memory, or I think it meant a lot

162
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: to me as an actor and as a performer as

163
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: I was acting as her. It was Cassie and Purple Hearts,

164
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: um my movie on Netflix, right yeah, big yeah, big phenomenon.

165
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: And her other question was was it difficult to transition

166
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: from being a kids star to the phenomenon that you'd become.

167
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: Was that got a hard transition or it's if Sometimes

168
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: it's a fun fact for people. I think sometimes people

169
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: think that I started younger than I did. But I

170
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: was not a kid's star. I was twenty one when

171
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I got my first job. I had gone to college.

172
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: I got my first dish or my first callback in

173
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: the middle of final exams at UCLA. So I wasn't

174
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: a child star. So I was lucky that I didn't

175
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: have as difficult as a transition as I would imagine

176
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: if I was a child in this business. I was

177
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: an adult, and although I have grown a lot as

178
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: an artist throughout the years, it's felt like a very

179
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: seamless transition. Every song that I've written, every role that

180
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: I've chosen with time. I feel like I've grown with

181
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: my audience at the same time, and it's been a

182
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: really beautiful journey. Well, I hope you have many, many,

183
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: many more decades of this beautiful Ny. She will, by

184
00:11:51,240 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: the way I think she will. And Diane, oh my gosh.

185
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: Last night I jotted down a list because I don't

186
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: know if you can see here, but I take notes

187
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: while I'm on the air. I write down the person's

188
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: name and a little bit about their situation. Joslyn lost

189
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: two kids and their best friends in a tragic accident,

190
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: and Jamie wanted a song, you know, So I take

191
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: these notes and I went through like the last two

192
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: weeks of my notes, and I just want to read

193
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: you a list of some of the songs, Diane, that

194
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: were requested just in the last two weeks. I get

195
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: week by Brenda Carlyle. Nothing's going to stop us now.

196
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: For a couple that both went through COVID, both ended

197
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: up in the hospital, both are back on their feet

198
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: and just going forward into the future. If I could

199
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: turn back time, I wrote this down Maria, who lost

200
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: her hubby and wanted to tell him one more time

201
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: how much she loved him, And she said, I know

202
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: that song means something else, but for me, if I

203
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: could turn back time, I just want to say I

204
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: love you again. Oh my god, Wow, my favorite song ever.

205
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss a thing. That was Peter

206
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: for his wife Linda a fifty five years Wow, that's

207
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: the song he wanted. Perfect. Somebody called last night who

208
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: was getting married. One of that is their wedding song.

209
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: Reba ile B was requested Taylor Dane, I'll be your shelter.

210
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: I got that request like two weeks ago, and I'm

211
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: way back in the Yeah, I'm sitting here as I'm

212
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: going through my notes going, oh my gosh, it's like

213
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: you you have like this direct connection to the heartbeat

214
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: of my audience. Wow. It's yeah, because music is so powerful,

215
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, Like and even if you write something from

216
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: a movie, you know, outside of that movie, it takes

217
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: on another life. Like you know, I don't want to

218
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: miss the thing was Armageddon, you know, but yet it

219
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: becomes this big anniversary song you know, applause. It is

220
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: written you know, for the movie. Tell it like a woman,

221
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: but yet it goes beyond that and it speaks to people,

222
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: you know that. I just love the fact that these songs,

223
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: can you know speak to whatever somebody's going through? I

224
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: think that listening to the words of applause over and over.

225
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, schools are trying hard coming out of COVID

226
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: to re engage kids and get them reconnected to what

227
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: matters to them. I was thinking as I listened to

228
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: the words of that song. We need to have grade

229
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: schools and junior highs and high schools having assemblies and

230
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: being gifted that song for each kid. Now, I'm down

231
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: any any school can use that. I'm happy to let

232
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: that song be used everywhere. Wouldn't that just be amazing

233
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: if kids could listen to the lyrics and go, you know,

234
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: you're so right, absolutely everything. Recognize who you are sometimes

235
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: I know it's hard, but you shine. You're super nova.

236
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: They can't stop you. You were born unstoppable, and you

237
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: dared to dared to know you're remarkable. Stand up, raise

238
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: your hands up everything. It's about flooding yourself, loving yourself,

239
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: using your voice, being unafraid. It's absolutely what everyone in

240
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: the world needs to hear, especially, like you said, children

241
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: who are being molded as we speak, and bullied as

242
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: we sallied believe I was bullied. I was I was

243
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: one of those kids that gotullied a lot. You too, Yeah, yeah,

244
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: you know what. Look where we are now and what

245
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: we're what we're here. We're like doing so well, and

246
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: you are so the antithesis of bully. You have a

247
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: rescue farm where you save lives of animals and the

248
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: biggest heart in the world. Exactly. You like to hide

249
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: behind this and a snarky um facade, but I stay

250
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: right through it. You've just got this huge heart for humanity,

251
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: for the planet, for creatures, for animal for the things

252
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: that have single handedly written the songs that are synonymous

253
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: with love. You know what I mean, Like she has

254
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: a pulse on that, like you said, in the most

255
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: extraordinary way. Thank you. That's your superpower. Thank you, that's

256
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: your superpower. You're able to take the human experience, whether

257
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: it's losing somebody, whether it's going through you know, hell

258
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: and standing. You said one time, you know what, I

259
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: would much rather know that my song is number one

260
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: and people are requesting it, then get some stupid award.

261
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: Your priorities are right, Yeah, I want these songs to

262
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: reach people. Of course, you know it wouldn't someone doc

263
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: if somebody would like recognize it, but we already agnize it.

264
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. You know, I had tim million folks tuning

265
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: in every night who recognize it, so million every night,

266
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: fourteen time Academy Award nominations. Yeah, I mean that's pretty cool.

267
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: But I mean it's just exciting the fact that you know,

268
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: here all you know, you know, with ten million people

269
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 1: listening to you, and they're requesting my songs over and

270
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: over and over, and beautiful thing is this song is

271
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: going to speak to all of them. Applause. Yeah, everybody,

272
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: no matter who you are. You know, like the most

273
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: confident person in the world is not confident. Yeah, you

274
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: know you might have like what you just said about me,

275
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: Like you know, someone could be so confident and like

276
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: you think they're they've got so together, but you know what, inside,

277
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, they're beating beating themselves up and they don't

278
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: really know who they are. If just one out of

279
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: ten people who listen to applause take it to heart

280
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: and go, dang I I am. If you look at

281
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 1: your fingerprint, there's nobody else like you in the history

282
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: of taking fingerprints that has ever been found to have

283
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: the exact same fingerprint. Did you know that not even

284
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: identical twins. Yeah, they're pretty identical. Twins have different finger prints.

285
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: They begin identical, but then as life goes on and

286
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: you get burned or you get cut, it changes the

287
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: nature of your singer prints and even the habits you have,

288
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: how you hold your pencil, that sort of thing. Right,

289
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: If we are that unique by a one inch square

290
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: piece of skin, how much more unique by our hearts,

291
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: our souls, our passions, our experiences, our dreams. And that's

292
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: what applause speaks to. Wow, wow, that's deep. But it's true.

293
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: It's true. It's true. I can't sing a note. I

294
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: have a three note range. I went out for quiet.

295
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Voice goes way beyond that three note. By the way

296
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: you look exactly, Realize who you are, Jelilah. Realize and

297
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: realized I was a super nover superstar who was given

298
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: a voice to talk, not to sing. And that's that's

299
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: my gift, that's my superpowers. Your voice still your voice,

300
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: your voice and heels and makes a difference. Yeah, and

301
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: everybody has a voice, even those who literally don't have

302
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: the ability to speak, they still have their story to share.

303
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: So thank you for applause, and thank you for years

304
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: and years and years of great music. How wild is

305
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: it that we get a chance to talk to these

306

Speaker 1: March twelfth. Cheer On Diane Applause is hailed as a

371
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: female empowerment anthem, but after listening, you will see how

372
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: easily it will be everyone's anthem. Every man, every woman,

373
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 1: every child, who has ever had to face the wind,

374

376
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,320

377
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: more compassionate people because of them. On your darkest days.

378

379
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: starting to come out on the trees, a bird's call,

380
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: a bird's nest, an empowering song, and of course, tune

381
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: into my radio show each night. I'll do my best

382
