11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Hello, thank you so much.

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: It's about time twenty years.

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but I'm still I think I'm the

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: youngest person to be inducted in so you know, I

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: haven't particularly been expecting it to happen at this point.

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: I thought that it was going to be something that

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: happened when I was old.

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually that's true, because you're not. How old are

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 3: you? You like about thirty, aren't you?

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. It must be a good zoom

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: filter I've got going on. I'm forty.

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 3: I thought, Wow, in what world did missus so Scar

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: came out when you were twenty? I remember that because

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: I just yes, and I've got I've got this, uh

25
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: like my little personal apple plaything, and Scar comes up

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: and I just you know, and I find myself singing

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: along like you, not like you, but that my wife

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: because I got the headphones, She goes, are you all right?

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: Is there something good? Well?

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: You've got such a distinctive voice. Was there ever pressure

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 2: along the way to not sound so you?

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: Ah? Yeah? In the beginning, I when I was recording

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: my first album, I remember the producer I was working

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: with said that my the accent was a bit grating

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: and asked if I could tone it down a bit.

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: And I mean, I've always been pretty headstrong, so I

37
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 1: was just like, screw you, I'm going to dial it up.

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: For Steve Irwin exactly, Well, your sliding door moment was

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: when you were fifteen years old and you won Triple

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Jay's On Earth competition. Would you have been in this

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: position no matter what? Or do you see that as

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: a as a door that opened that otherwise couldn't have.

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I often wondered that myself. I mean,

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I would have kept making music and

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: kept singing. I mean, my dream was to just sing

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: in front of a lot of people. But I thought

47
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: that that was going to be jazz music because that

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: was that's what I started out singing in my brother's band,

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: and then I started writing my own songs later. So

50
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: I would have just been pretty happy to keep just singing,

51
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: even if it was cover songs, because that's what I

52
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: love doing, singing and performing.

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: And when you do covers, what's your what is your thing?

54
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: What do you love singing? If you're singing someone else's stuff,

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: I love.

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: I love making songs that are really different from my own,

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, especially with like a male voice, because that

58
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: it's quite easy. It's easier to make it my own.

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: You know.

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: You could do like a bit of James Rain there's

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 3: a unique saying style.

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: Or a bit of Joe Dolci shut up your face.

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: Maybe he's still waiting to get around.

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't record Joe had done some Kevin Floody will.

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: A complicated truth. It's a it's a pretty raw song

66
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: about your own marriage breakdown. How hard is it to

67
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: write a song like that and then perform it? Is

68
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 3: it cathartic? Or sometimes you think I just can't deal

69
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 3: with this?

70
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: It's actually it's been amazing because I've just I've been

71
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: on the road for five months now and playing these

72
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: songs every night has been so cathartic. Like at the

73
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the tour during rehearsals, I was just breaking down, crying,

74
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: going literally just saying, I don't know how I'm going

75
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: to do this every night. And now that we've we've

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: just finished the tour, it feels like I've just processed

77
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: so much because the song, all the songs of the

78
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: new album are incredibly raw and incredibly vulnerable, and at

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the beginning of the tour that was really hard, but

80
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: really beautiful to do every night, but very intense, and

81
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: by the end of it, I just felt like I

82
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: was I was telling my story, but it didn't have

83
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: that real pain to it that I did at the beginning.

84
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's been It's been an incredibly therapeutic experience

85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: playing these songs every night.

86
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: Well you look good for it?

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: Do you look great? He said, you're just out of

88
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: the shower.

89
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: You look about ten missus. Fresh out of the shower.

90
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: Miguel Maestre, who I worked with on a TV show

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: called The Living Room. He's a Spanish chef and he speaks.

92
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: He's always loved you. But when he was a chef

93
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: who wasn't on TV, and he said, he said hello

94
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: to you, and you had a photo with him, and

95
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: you were the nicest celebrity he has ever met. And

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: this is the week really, and this is the week

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: after Pink was there and he said, the the restaurant

98
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: ha stayed open for her and he said, can we

99
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: have a photo? And she said, I don't have photos

100
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: with Randoms on my day off. And so you turned

101
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: his head around about how you should be. And now

102
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: when people approach him, he thinks about that and how

103
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: nice and kind you were.

104
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: Really, that's so lovely. Thanks for sharing that.

105
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it meant a lot to him.

106
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: Well, you don't want to hear that you're an a hole.

107
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: You don't want to hear that you don't have photos

108
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: and think, yeah.

109
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: Quite right, you're going to be performing at the Logis.
