There she was in a suit, 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 2: bare feet, just singing the heart out of that song. 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: It was beautiful. 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 3: The soles of her feet were remarkably clean. 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: I thought at the time, could you see the souls? 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. Usually when you see people walk around and bad feet, 14 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: they get that Mullumn Bimbie set of hay and you know, 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 3: hard bottom foot thing. Even Hemsey and his missus have 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: got that terrible you know, Northern river's feet. Okay, but 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: well Katie didn't have that. 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: No, she didn't have that at all. It was quite 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: extraordinary her performance. It was beautiful. And I saw an 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: interview she did recently where she spoke about the pressure 21 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: of singing that but also what got her through it, 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: and it's quite remarkable. 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: My lama passed away a couple of months before and 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: I was heartbroken. I was also given this golden a 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: Oh my god, because I had been singing Hallelulia already 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, and to have Leonard Cohen 27 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: say no, because they actually asked him to sing it 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: and he said no, Ask Katie. And the second I 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: got on to that stage, purity of understanding of realms 30 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: came into me. I know that it was my lama 31 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: was helping me at that time, and just everything became 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: so clear and slowed down. So believe me when I 33 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: say I cannot take the credit for that moment. We 34 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: shared that moment together, Katie and the Lama. 35 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: I sent that to a friend of mine saying, who knew? 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I love Katie Lane, but she can hear 37 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: the catching a voice as she says her pet lama died. 38 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: And I said that to a friend of mine who said, no, 39 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: she's talking about her Buddhist lama. It's not an animal. 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: I felt foolish, So you thought she was talking about 41 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 2: Alma animal lama, and she did. How emotional she was, 42 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: and that her pet lama got her through that song. 43 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: That's a fair yeah, because they's a fair assessment. 44 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: That's a fair assessment. 45 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: But I also I remember so clearly watching her sing 46 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: on that night, and Liam was about nine, Jack was seven, 47 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: and whenever I hear that song, I'm reminded of a 48 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: very emotional time. And I was telling them the story 49 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: that when Liam was to Jack was a newborn. We're 50 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: up visiting my parents in Brisbane and Liam had a 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: seizure of some kind. His head was lolling back. He 52 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: passed out, and it was just terrifying, absolutely terrifying. He 53 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: went to the hospital. They gave him a lumber puncture. 54 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: We're terrified it was Mencha cockle who knew what it was. 55 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 2: At the end of a long, hard and emotional day, 56 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: there I am, with this newborn in my arms. I 57 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: went in. I was able to see liamb and he 58 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: was watching Shrek and that song was playing Hallelujah, and 59 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: I just put my head on the bed and I sobbed, 60 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: and I sobbed and I sobbed. And as we're watching 61 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: Katie Lange sing this song, I told Liam and Jack 62 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: that story and why that song is so powerful for me. 63 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: And that moment Jack looks up and says, who's he 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: He's watching Katie Lange sing? I said, never. 65 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: Mind, looks like it was like a Lama farmer. Apple 66 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: doesn't fall five from the tree. 67 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: There
