00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: of the Voice.

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: It's not Guy Richie or Guy Books all that guy

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: down the road.

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: He's the fast guy going. We go by book paternal,

00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, the one and only guy Sebassia.

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: We've got to join my thanks coming on, Pleasure, Pleasure.

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: How are you guys.

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 3: We're good, We're really really good. I mean, it's it's

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: always good to talk to you. We had the absolute

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: pleasure last week of as we said the other day,

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: meeting your brother Chris, who obviously won the voice.

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Jeeze was a dirt. He was such a good dude.

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: It was great to talk to him about all the

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: ins and outs of this scandal around that as well,

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: and you know, you know you the favoritism and all

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. And but within that though, he

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: actually told us something about you.

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: He dished a bit. Oh no, okay, he.

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: Dished a bit. He dished a bit of dirt on you.

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: We'd say, woods, yeah, that's right. So we thought we'd

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: give you the opportunity to respond. First, guy, we've got

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: some audio of what Chris revealed about you before we

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: play that he is a little punk, he's.

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Your little brother. Do you want to dish a bit

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: of dirt on Chris?

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: Guy?

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, it's probably it's probably payback because

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: it took me a long time to actually admit this.

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 4: But when Chris was a little toddler, we were playing

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,279
Speaker 4: in the backyard and I was smacking a little golf

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: ball around and it went through the window and Mum

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: came like screaming out, you know who's broken the window.

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 4: I just pointed at little Chris and blamed him because

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: I knew he was too cute and too he was

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: like four years old.

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: And you have never seen a cuter kid. Chris was

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: the cute.

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 4: Just actually jump onto Chris's Instagram and have a look

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 4: at his baby.

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous how cute his baby is.

45
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: But he I blamed him and then, yeah, it's taken

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 4: me a long time to it to, you know, come

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: out with come clean, and I did a few Christmases ago,

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 4: and yeah, so.

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: This is payback, my cop. What's got to do?

50
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: So you threw him under the bus as a four

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 3: year old and now everyone knows that. Oh well, look

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: it seems fair because you know he had some pretty

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: big dirt to dish on you as well.

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Listen to this.

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: When people say guys, rather than I think they think

56
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: that I might think it's an insult.

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Guys like I love my brother, but one of my

58
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: best mates so to be mentioned in the same sentence

59
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: of guys like are you kidding? That's an honor? Would

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: I be offended about that? What an ass?

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 4: I told you to know he's the nicest, but he

62
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: wouldn't give us anything nice thing.

63
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: We want to talk a little bit about standing with you.

64
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: Brand new tune for you and certainly ties into a

65
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: theme that you know you've been touching on a bit.

66
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: I know Choir was obviously a massive song for us

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: and touched on mental health and suicide as well, but

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: this one also has to do with mental health. Can

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: you expand a little bit on on who this is

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 3: about and why it meant so much to you? Yeah?

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: Look, you know a choir was I guess that was

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: inspired by a band member of ours, Luke, who played

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: in our band and you know lost his battle with

74
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: mental health, and so that was that was more about

75
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: I guess, you know, celebrating somebody's life and and of

76
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: course a reminder to you know, to make time for

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: each other. And I guess this one is a little

78
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 4: bit more specific. I was actually in La recently, right

79
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: before like COVID got really you know, hectic, and and

80
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: I was sort of wondering whether to do the trip

81
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: on because everyone's going, I'll do, They're going to shut

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: borders and blah blah blah. But I did it anyway,

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: and I ended up having to cut it short and

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 4: fly back before they closed borders.

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: But while I was there, I wrote this song.

86
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: I was in an uber actually on the way to

87
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: this session, and my cousin had uploaded like his battle

88
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: with depression, and he was really brave to do that,

89
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 4: and it was so beautifully written. He was basically just

90
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: trying to share his experience so that it would help

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: others going through the same thing. And and I had

92
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: no idea that he was going through that, and he

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: you know, he lives in Melbourne over there, and he was,

94
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: you know, just incredibly brave. So I rang him and

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 4: and sort of, you know, after the session from from

96
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: La and I said, oh, mate, I've just you know,

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: I've written this song and you inspired it, and sort

98
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: of bumm that I you know, I just I guess

99
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 4: I was just sad you weren't there for him. Yeah,

100
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 4: I didn't know that he was suffering to that exer.

101
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: Well, if he's listening now, we're going to play it

102
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: for him. And I suppose everybody else this is standing

103
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: with you. You're listening to William Woody and kid I've got

104
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 3: more guys bashion up next well and Moody standing with you.

105
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: That's a brand new Guy Sebastian that you're listening to

106
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: on the show right now.

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: Guy joins us in the studio.

108
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were to say that you were inspired by

109
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: your cousin who did a video on Facebook talking about

110
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 5: his troubles with mental health, and you're in an uber

111
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 5: at the time in LA and that's what made you

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 5: or what inspired you to write the song?

113
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: Am I right though?

114
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 5: And hearing that story, you wrote an entire song in

115
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: an uber trip?

116
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, it was actually it was on

117
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: Insta and here and so that I was on the

118
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: way to a recording session and in my mind I

119
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: was thinking, I want to write something up tempo, fun,

120
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: like like I just need, you know, I need something

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: that's really just fun and not too you know, too much.

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: Heart matter involved.

123
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: And then I've read that and I've got to the

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 4: studio and I was actually writing with a guy. His

125
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 4: name's Jamie Hartman, and I wrote Before I Go, which

126
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 4: was another one of my songs. I wrote that with him.

127
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: He wrote I'm.

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: Only human after Oh, don't put the blame on.

129
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 4: Me, he wrote, and he wrote that I am Jaian

130
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 4: for Coman and a bunch of others stuff for Lewis Capoli,

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: writer and a really great dude. But he I've loved

132
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: up to the studio and his kids have respiratory disorders,

133
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: so he was extremely anxious about the COVID and it

134
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: was starting again really full on over there, and so

135
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: we were both in like this vulnerable state, and I

136
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 4: was like, oh, dude, I've just read this thing, and

137
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: I guess the crux of the song is really all

138
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a simple message of just saying you

139
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: don't have to be an expert. If you're if you're

140
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: a friend, or if you're somebody that is surrounded by

141
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: people who have issues with mental health, you don't have

142
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: to be an expert. You don't have to be qualified,

143
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: like you just have to be there, you know, without

144
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 4: necessarily having the answers, and because I mean saying things

145
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: like oh mate, you'll be right, chin up, like, you know,

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: trying to have answers and trying to understand what they're

147
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: going through is just that's the wrong way to approach it.

148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: In from I guess you know experience.

149
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: No, I think no, no, You' one hundred percent right,

150
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: And I think I think we're in the position where

151
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: you're kind of going through something like that like your

152
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: cousin was going through. I think when the people around

153
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: you are reaching and trying to fix what you're going through,

154
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: that's when you start to get a bit more anxious

155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: about what's going on because you can't fit. You can't

156
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: You're like, guys, can you stop worrying about me? You know?

157
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: And that creates more stress. So it's a great message

158
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: actually standing with you.

159
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: I was with Jamie Hartman, this songwriter, and we've written

160
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 4: this song and then I've sung it for the first

161
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: time from top to bottom, and I got to the

162
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: end of the song and he's hit stop and I've gone.

163
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Bro that felt really really special.

164
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: And he wouldn't answer me, and I could tell it

165
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: because he's real proud English, but he was trying to

166
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: like find a moment.

167
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: And then because of that, then I started.

168
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: Crying and it was like it was one of the

169
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: sound very soft, but but it was one of those moments.

170
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: Crying's good as well, because I struggled to cry as well.

171
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: Guy.

172
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 5: I was telling him will the other day that I

173
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: realized I hadn't cried for six months recently.

174
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: That's right, and you're starting it. But after on hand,

175
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: what what did you end up going about? Tell him?

176
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: Don't tell him because this is really funny, because he said,

177
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: you're like, you know, I haven't cried in six months.

178
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: And then when you're in the bath and you you

179
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: watched a scene in a movie or something.

180
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was having a bath, guy, and I was

181
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 5: I was watching a Night's Tale.

182
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if.

183
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 5: Just the moment that he's the girl that he's seen

184
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: brings his father to his final jout and the waterworks.

185
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: It's weird. One, it's weird some of the movies that

186
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: make you cry, Like for me, there's a scene in Click.

187
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: Adam, but more so for me is when he's he's

188
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: got that little trick that his dad does, and he's

189
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: in the office and he and he says to these dad,

190
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 4: basically I've known all along, like enough of this stupid trick,

191
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 4: and his dad's heart broke.

192
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: And I think that has anything to do with it.

193
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just.

194
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: Gone, well, Dad's I mean, like just picked it for

195
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 3: a second, Woody crying in the bath. The two men

196
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: rand at each other on top of horses.

197
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not I mean, it's not the same. Hey, guy,

201
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: his life with mental health stuff. So we're going to

203
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: both sides. I love that you've kind of attacked this

204
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: mental health issue. Not attack, it's probably aggressive, but like,

205
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: on the one hand, you've got standing with you, which

206
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: is all about being with people. On the other hand,

207
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: you know, reminiscing and you know, really holding those people

208
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: close and telling them that you still love them after

209
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 3: they've gone, which is what quiet is all about.
