1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: We've watched Jessica Malboy become a powerhouse and a beacon

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: of Australian music. She's about to head to Paris for

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: the Olympics, just going in the javelin now she's going

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: to perform her new song High.

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: Liza Nippets, keep it boning on.

7
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 2: It sounds a muddog goose bumps, Hello Jesson.

8
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: Our Olympic anthem.

9
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 4: Look honestly, I yeah, I imagine this to be, and

10
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 4: particularly for the athletes. I when I received this song,

11
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: and you know, had had the idea of lending my

12
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 4: voice to this song, went into the studio a little

13
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: bit of the lyrics had the athletes involved. Just imagine myself

14
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 4: in their shoes, like the years of practice and the

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: battle to get where they are. I wanted it to

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: be that motivational song, that confidence building song, that believing

17
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: in yourself no matter what happens in the end.

18
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: Would you be for that goal? Would be singing it

19
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: for them?

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: Yes.

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: So I'll be heading over very soon to be able

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: to do the flag bearing ceremony, which I wanted to

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: be doing, and then hopefully get to visit the village

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: and sing there to the athletes.

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, were you athletic as a kid?

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: I was.

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: I ran track, I did one hundred meters and two

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: hundred meters. I was pretty athletic as a young kid.

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 4: And I also played a lot of soccer as a kid.

30
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: So that's yeah, something.

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: You can relate to what they're going through. But as

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: you said, all that training, all of that, but this

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: comes down to a two week event and you hope

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: that you don't have the flu.

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: You hope you're not heartbroken.

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: You hope, you hope that the perfect storm of everything

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: pushes you along. You must have had that when you're performing,

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: you prepare for something. But there's a lot of other

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: stuff that can go on.

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, you know, there's you know, being away

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 4: from home, being away from the people that you love.

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: It is intense, I guess, keeping remaining focused the physicality

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: of it, and yeah, and just trying to remain in

44
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: that space as much as possible without letting that vulnerable side,

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: you know, because it's both I think you're it's kind

46
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: of ying and yang. You have to go with both

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: to have that fire allow you to take that step.

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, I feel like that's what that's what this

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: song is, and that's what I wanted to write for them,

50
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 4: even if they're in that wherever they are in a

51
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: small box in their small room, or that moment before

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: they you know, hit the field or the court or

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: wherever it is, that they listen to this song and

54
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: get prepared to be able to go out there.

55
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 5: You know, when someone comes up with the sporting anthem.

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: You look at Survivor I of the Tiger originally in

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 5: Rocky Sylvester Stallone wanted Queen another one Bites the Dust

58
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: in that particular movie, and Queen said, no, no, we

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 5: don't want to be a part of your movie franchise.

60
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 5: So he went to this young band. He said, get

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 5: me a song.

62
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 6: That song still stands up today.

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 5: Can you, yes, someone gun at your head? Can you

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 5: just come up with a song?

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 6: Oh? You know what. It does take a team of people.

66
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: And I really have to thank the AOC, the Australian

67
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: Olympic Committee, as well as Will Hide, the executive producer

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: who actually went to AOC just you know, to come

69
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: up with the idea of having you know, an athletics

70
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: Olympic anthem.

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 6: And so because of him.

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: And because of the writers, Shannon Shannon Bousch and her

73
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: partner Stephen Mowatt. This song came to life and I

74
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: was able to come in, you know, within.

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: The last month.

76
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: You've done nothing on.

77
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 6: This, Yeah, pretty much.

78
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: I've just come in you know, on the back end

79
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: with the athletes and just you know, with.

80
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: Your voice and with your energy and with the love

81
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: of Australia has for you.

82
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: That's what you imbue this song with.

83
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks, thank you.

84
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know it was it was really about how

85
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: I wanted the intensity of the vocal, how I wanted

86
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 4: to intro into the song, you know, the o's and

87
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: the ahs, the harmonies, the many voices that that I've

88
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: come together. So it does represent a lot of those

89
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: things that you know that I wanted to share and

90
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 4: put that into the song.

91
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: Even when you walked into our studio, you were singing.

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: You constantly sing. Do you sing when you're cooking? Do

93
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 2: you sing on the toilet? Do you sing everywhere? Everywhere?

94
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: I think mainly like in the shower, and I think

95
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: a lot of my ideas, you know, come in, you know,

96
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 4: make it into the shower.

97
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll make it into a lot of my music.

98
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 4: It's Yeah, it's pretty much where the acoustics are probably

99
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: the best.

100
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: Your family must be so used to you constantly, just

101
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: all the time.

102
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: I think I'm like generally like humming, and I'm humming

103
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: something and that turns into, you know, something vocal, and

104
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: then lyrics come and then yeah.

105
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 5: What's a shower song?

106
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: A shower song is? I don't know, it's it's probably

107
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: it's probably like.

108
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 6: The tower, the tow tow tow, the toe tell to.

109
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 6: I don't know, and I just make up and that

110
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 6: just helps.

111
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: It might not be the lyrics, but it might be

112
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: the melody, and then I'll take that away.

113
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 6: And so I don't know.

114
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: I'm bouncing off the tiles, having a night on the tiles.
