WEBVTT - MINI: Amy Shark on the reason she has Shark in her name 🦈

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>So excited. I've can't seen the studio today has a.

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Brand new album out tomorrow. She's a butterfid Ozsie Icon,

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 2>she's got a LOGI, she's got arias, she's here on

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 2>the pick up.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.319
<v Speaker 1>It's shut hello.

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 3>I just got feels deep inside listening to that song,

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 3>like say hi and mess her up. Absolute anthems for me,

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 3>like are they probably the song that people talk about

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 3>the most you out of all the albums that you've done.

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a lot of people, a lot of chicks really

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>love me.

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm like at shows when you start that song, it's

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.240
<v Speaker 4>like it's I feel like Harry Styles.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>The squeals are like out of control.

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 4>It's actually really overwhelming right now because I've got a

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 4>tour coming up, and I think about this new album,

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 4>which is I mean obviously fire and then I've got

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 4>other Obviously.

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>We can say that you want to, I mean no,

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, the album is fine. What was the inspiram

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>behind this album?

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, albums for me, like, I'm always kind of and

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 4>I know this sounds really dicky, but I don't mean

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 4>it to sound this way, but I'm usually a bit

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 4>ahead because like they take so long to make, so

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 4>when I was making Cry Forever, it got signed off,

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 4>and then there's months and months and months, like and

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 4>if I stop writing, then what am I doing? So

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 4>I keep writing and then by the time an album

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 4>comes around, it's like I've got all these songs to

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 4>choose from, like which is the strongest demo, and then

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.279
<v Speaker 4>I'll take them into the studio and see what happens.

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 4>So with this one, though, I spend a lot of

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 4>time seeing the whole album is like a body of work.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 4>Like the last especially the first album, I was just

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 4>throwing shit at the wall, going I don't know what

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing, I don't know who I am. I like,

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.559
<v Speaker 4>here's a bunch of songs and let's hope for the best.

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 4>Whereas by album three, I kind of I kind of

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 4>sort of know what I'm doing. I would like to

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 4>think and yeah, I could sort of look at all

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 4>the songs and be like, Okay, this makes sense and

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 4>this makes for a really awesome body.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Of work start to finish.

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>So historically speaking, are you particularly sad on a Sunday?

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Like like where so we're all thinking where did I mean,

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>aren't you?

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I just like I yeah, it firstly, thinking

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 4>of titles for albums suck. You ask any artist, it sucks.

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 4>You're like everything cool is taken. You want something strong

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 4>and memorable. And Sundays did turn into a day where

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 4>I was like, instead of sitting with my feelings and

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 4>memories of the past, I'm just gonna work on this

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 4>album and finish a bunch of songs. And so it

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 4>just turned out to be a bit of a ritual.

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 4>And another thing that made Sundays better for me was

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 4>just pasta and wine.

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>So that's why the cover is the cover.

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Wow Amy's Italian roots.

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I know, I wish when you're writing music there

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 5>you say you look at it like a body of work.

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 5>But are you writing songs that are purely from your

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 5>own experience or do you go Okay, I'm you know, happy,

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.239
<v Speaker 5>I'm in a great place in life right now, but

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 5>I know that someone's going to really relate to a

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 5>breakup song, or I've been broken up with before, so

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.559
<v Speaker 5>you pull on like a past memory or a past circumstance.

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I like never plan what I write.

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 4>I just always sit with and try and think of

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 4>some cool guitar riff or whatever, and then usually I've

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 4>had such a colorful life, like, there's so many things

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 4>to choose from.

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I usually just let my subconscious go nuts.

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 4>And family hasn't always been the greatest, and friends have

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 4>fallen apart, and I feel like i've kind of that's

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 4>that's my skill set is like I'm you know, I'm

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 4>not I'm not so young. So it's always exciting for

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 4>me to just start a song from scratch and be like,

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 4>what's still obviously bothering me? Half the time I still

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.639
<v Speaker 4>learn what's still like it's affecting me? Yeah, it really

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 4>is so so yeah, there's no method to it. Everything's

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 4>obviously very autobiographical. It's always about me. I can't read

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 4>a book. I've seen artists like be like I've read

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 4>this book and I character really connected.

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I just don't work like that.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 3>You have now officially completed the Blink trifecta, like you

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 3>have collaborated with all three members of Blink one eight two.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 6>Did you grow up with an inspiration from Blink one

0:03:59.040 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 6>A two?

0:03:59.400 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 6>What is where did that come from? Of trying to

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 6>bring them all into each album?

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean, they're my all time favorite band, and I

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 4>think because they were like you know when you graduate

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 4>from like Spice Girls and Hansen and you're like, oh wow,

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 4>there's this cool other side to music in this alternative

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 4>world that you learn about and Blink was that for me?

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 4>And they weren't just a one off like they had

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 4>song after song and hit after hit and Tom you know,

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Tom's voice wasn't perfect, you know, it was really weird

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 4>and it was it stood out and he was unapologetically himself.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 4>So I learned a lot from that band to just

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 4>like just go for it, just like believe in yourself

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 4>and tell stories and that if it's okay if you

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 4>don't sound like Mariah Carey or Beyonce.

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that means it means.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 4>A wi Yeah.

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well that's on the album track ten My Only Friend.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to give that a listen, alb

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>about tomorrow, Amy Shark is he out.

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to a break.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>When we come back, we're doing headlines or headlines next.

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Some headlines are real, some a fake. We're gonna quez

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you Amy that with Amy Shark after he's on the pickup.

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>It's time for this everyone. Yeah, we've got a bunch

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>of headlines here in studio written about our guest today

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Amy Shark. Welcome to the show, Amy.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having me.

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Some are real, some a fake. Some we've written, we've

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>made up. Our team behind the scenes have written these

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>are real, a.

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 6>Very very extensive team.

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 1>We do have one producer.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 6>So first one off the.

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Bat, Amy Shark bears all the real reason behind her

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 3>marine based surname, and you'll never believe the incident that

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 3>inspired it.

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like it could be real.

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 4>What is it?

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It's real? Yeah, what's the incident behind Shark? I don't know,

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>but people do write whatever the hell they want.

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 6>So is your surname really Shark or not?

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Not? No, it's not.

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm just trying to get her to explain it.

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, look, it's no.

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 4>I just watched Jaws, really really when I was really young,

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 4>and it really affected me.

0:05:58.760 --> 0:05:59.919
<v Speaker 1>But it's unusual to be.

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 6>So traumatized by something you're like, how will I get

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 6>over this? I'll put it in my name.

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 1>That movie The Scrims, Yeah, I mean the best thing

0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 1>about it.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to go on about this movie, but

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 4>it's so brilliant because you don't really see the shark until, like,

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, like probably forty minutes into the movie. Like,

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 4>it's so crazy how they build this tension, Yeah, and suspense.

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you think about sharks every time you go swimming?

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Now?

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 6>You like you get in the water and you're like.

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 4>Even I think of shark even in the pool, like

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 4>at night that I'm like, did someone in the bath?

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 6>That's one here, that's a music headline.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 5>Next one, Amy Shark reveals the sad reason she is

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 5>no longer wearing her wedding ring after keeping marriage to

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 5>husband Shane Billings very private.

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's over, guys, No imagine imagine. Yeah, right here,

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>that's what you'll use. That's the headline. It's going to

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>come now to.

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's that's true. That's true. It actually just got

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>stolen from a hotel so safe.

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Well no, so I was.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 4>I remember where I was at, and I'm trying not

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 4>to out this hotel because you know, they've been good

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 4>to me since.

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Every big show that I was playing.

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 4>And I remember I remember it because I remember having

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 4>a shower, and I put it in the little dish

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 4>thing because I can't wear it when I play guitar

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 4>because it like it was decent rock, so it's spun

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 4>around a bit. So I put it in this dish thing.

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 4>And then I was leaving to go overseas the next

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 4>day and it was nowhere. But I got my my

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 4>necklace was still there, so I was kind of like,

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 4>maybe maybe Shane picked it up.

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.720
