Speaker 5: To be here.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you're are here, but also I feel
Speaker 3: so stitched up now and out of my depth because
Speaker 3: I've just added myself as a mad superfan and then
Speaker 3: here you are, and it was a surprise.
Speaker 7: I'm in Australia, the land of the stitch. There's some
Speaker 7: some beautiful.

Speaker 3: I was saying this album came out in twenty fourteen
Speaker 3: and it was my breakup symphony.
Speaker 4: It got me through every hard time.
Speaker 3: I was like, it's all right, everything's going to shit,
Speaker 3: but let's put some James Pay on.
Speaker 7: I don't know on that album.
Speaker 1: Before I really lift people up.
Speaker 7: At the end of any song, I think, no, hey,
Speaker 7: things are tough, and maybe that's okay.
Speaker 1: But maybe you'll get through it. Maybe you won't, but
Speaker 1: you'll be all right. Put the album on again. I
Speaker 1: think it sometimes.
Speaker 5: Feels really good when your heartbreaking, to lean into the pain, though,
Speaker 5: and like I have sat in my car crying to
Speaker 5: let it go, singing like and I can't sing like
Speaker 5: screaming at the top of my lungs that many times.
Speaker 4: But let me just see if I can get this right.
Speaker 4: Let it go streamed one.
Speaker 5: Billion, two hundred and fifteen, six hundred and fifty one,
Speaker 5: eight hundred and fifty seven times.
Speaker 4: Do you ever get sick of hearing your own song?
Speaker 4: I would love to know that.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 7: I don't get sick of playing it touring around the world.
Speaker 7: I have arrived sometimes in like hotels, like I remember
Speaker 7: a few different occasions where we pull up in like
Speaker 7: the bus outside the hotel and like all the hotel stuff,
Speaker 7: like stood around the like check in desk, looking a
Speaker 7: bit pleasing themselves, and the music's playing like it's so lame,
Speaker 7: like we did for you. Yeah, respect, with all respect.
Speaker 7: It's like, guys, I'm so tired. I just got to just.
Speaker 1: Find that's what they think. You'll get brownie points and
Speaker 1: it's James, it'll love this well, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: it is. It's huge.
Speaker 7: It's massively like flattering, don't get me wrong. But at
Speaker 7: the same time, no, I don't get tired of singing it,
Speaker 7: for sure, and I've sang it a lot. I hope
Speaker 7: I get to sing it like way more don't already have.
Speaker 7: And on top of that, the moment when people are
Speaker 7: singing it back to me and there's a really like
Speaker 7: obvious good moment in the middle of the song where
Speaker 7: we can hand it to the audience and they like
Speaker 7: scream it back.
Speaker 3: When you are writing, are you drawing from your own
Speaker 3: personal experiences?
Speaker 4: Are you're going through your own heartbreak?
Speaker 7: If I'm not going through my own, like and I
Speaker 7: go through I think we all go through heartbreaks about
Speaker 7: all kinds of different things. By the way, it's not
Speaker 7: always as straightforward as a breaking up or whatever. And
Speaker 7: then also the other thing I find myself drawing from
Speaker 7: is like and they remain anonymous, but like friends and
Speaker 7: people that I know are going through stuff, and like
Speaker 7: sometimes even you get like affected by what's happening in
Speaker 7: a movie.
Speaker 1: And I kind of love those stories.
Speaker 7: When some of my favorite songwriters were so inspired by
Speaker 7: like a story in a book that they wrote the
Speaker 7: most beautiful heartbreak song on the most uplifting song. It's
Speaker 7: nice to there's drawing from direct personal experience, and I'm
Speaker 7: always doing that in some amount, But then you can
Speaker 7: sort of glean things from all kinds of different things
Speaker 7: that happen around you in like culture or in life
Speaker 7: or whatever.
Speaker 5: So James, you, I mean, I hope I've got this right.
Speaker 5: You've been in a relationship since you were sixteen. What
Speaker 5: I'm getting married next year. What's your advice for maintaining
Speaker 5: a healthy long term relationship. We see people, especially in
Speaker 5: the entertainment industry, they're breaking up all the time.
Speaker 7: I think you take each day as it comes. I
Speaker 7: think it's one step at a time. I think you
Speaker 7: don't leap into the future and you don't well on
Speaker 7: the part or even just sort of sit in the
Speaker 7: past too much, because you can just celebrating the past
Speaker 7: and there's remembering it and all that stuff. But just
Speaker 7: try to be present.
Speaker 4: Do you asking for a friend? Do you sing it?
Speaker 5: People's wedding comes on the show?
Speaker 1: You have me, drawn, you have me? Then you got yeah,
