Speaker 1: I lived like close to the high school. So I lived kind of near downtown, but not downtown like Oklon. I lived in Oklhan and it was great, but like, I didn't have a lot of friends in my neighborhood because we really just lived there to go to the school. Most kids were from all over the city.

00:21:30
Speaker 1: I love that one.

00:21:34
Speaker 15: I'm scud here, I'm gonna pop a squad nice. Yes, I'm so short I can almost not see you over the piano here. Yy Hey, I really admire you.

00:21:44
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm really happy to know you, and I really I just think it's so cool. You're always dabbling in different things, and I think I think that's great. Do you have just like ideas in the middle of the night and you're like, I'm gonna do that or is it just a combination of stuff coming to you and you're saying yes? Is it like everything? I feel like you architect a lot of things that are very interesting you. It feels like you're very much creatively thinking about big picture stuff, not only music, but like the surrounding creative. This is a run on sentence, but you know what I'm saying, I appreciate it. Thank you.

00:22:26
Speaker 5: First of all, I think I like there's a part of me that sort of walks through life with a with a like a healthy disassociation where I'm like, I don't know what, like what happens if I try this thing, like it could be a terrible like not saying yes to life is like a great thing I think, you know, as an ethos, as an artist sometimes and then sometimes you just have to be willing to like fall on your face and for things to not not totally land, but like, I don't know, even if it doesn't land, it's like funny, yeah, you know what I mean, fun right.

00:23:01
Speaker 1: And you always get somewhere.

00:23:02
Speaker 5: You get somewhere, and you learn a lot in the process. So I think that I think I have said yes to a lot of things. You know. One part is like yes, I feel passionately that I'm I really want to do this. And then there's another side. I think that's like I'm just curious, like what's gonna happen if I just stand in that room and see, you know what I mean, like see what happens? Uh? Yeah, I hope, I hope I answered your question.

00:23:27
Speaker 1: I mean I think I kind of knew the answer because you seem like an open musician and so, but you also seem like you have a lot of really interesting conceptual ideas about things artistically. So I think the combination is kind of the perfect thing, and that's what it seems like to me. That's like a combo pack, right.

00:23:46
Speaker 5: Thank you. Well, then the pr team has been really doing your job.

00:23:50
Speaker 2: That's what the army of pr.

00:23:53
Speaker 5: But you're I was telling you when we were rehearsing, and I'm I'm sure everyone and in this in the in the crowd feels the same way. But like, there's something about the quality of your voice that when you sing, I just feel like I'm being held No, I just feel like that's just heaven like. And you've always You've always had that, and you too have been like you dabble in all kinds of genres and do all kinds of things, but at the end of the day, like when anybody hears your voice, like, oh, that's more jokes like, and that's the biggest thing as an artist I think in the whole world, be like, well.

00:24:33
Speaker 1: It is an interesting thing to try different things, but try to stay true to your kind of core what you are. And it's sometimes hard for people, I think, to stay true to that while they're trying other things. But I feel the same about you. I feel like it's always right right on, and you're doing You're doing so many things and I'm like, holy crap, I want to do that. You're doing an orchestra tour. Oh yeah, yeah, it's so cool.

00:24:58
Speaker 13: I am.

00:24:59
Speaker 5: How did that come?

00:25:00
Speaker 1: Well?

00:25:00
Speaker 5: It came about because in London there's this thing called the BBC Proms and they have a yeah, they have a like a series where they will invite I guess more like pop artists or whatever to come in and do shows. So I did one of those shows in September and I just I loved it. I loved it. And there they are like aspects of earlier work that I made that I had kind of forgotten about that were sort of like, you know, like whimsical, sort of self really well sort of linded it yeah, linded lent or linded itself well to that and doing the show with like a sixty piece orchestra and these great arrangements and these great arrangers and these great players, it was like, oh it almost in a weird way, it felt like a like I'm not dead, but like it felt like a retrospective.

00:25:57
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:25:57
Speaker 5: I was sort of like, oh, god, I guess I wrote a bunch of music at something, you know.

00:26:02
Speaker 1: So it's like you've been doing this for a while.

00:26:04
Speaker 5: It's like a minute, Yeah, yeah, that's so cool.

00:26:07
Speaker 1: And so you're doing a little tour with it, right, Yeah, we're doing like a summer tour. So how does that work? You pick up an orchestra in every city? Right, you can't travel with a sixty pace orchestra.

00:26:16
Speaker 5: God no, no, no, no, it's but it's it's cool. I mean, I think like it's one of the few like bastions of art funding. I think in the States that's left. I probably don't don't air that because they'll cut it. But they have these seasons that you could that they're curating, and so you can kind of slot in and be like, oh you could, You're gonna get Maller's fifth, but then the next night you'll get you know, so and so with with the orchestra. So and I'm traveling with a little a small little band, and then Jules Buckley who conducted the London show, so we have.

00:26:53
Speaker 2: Our and then.

00:26:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we have our little team and then we just show up and give people charts. And what's miraculous to me, which is you're sitting there reading music. I'm like, you just they just play it and they can read music and then it sounds good.

00:27:07
Speaker 1: Do you have to rehearse everything with them?

00:27:09
Speaker 13: You do?

00:27:10
Speaker 5: But it's really chill it's like quick baby, It's like it's like a three hour sound check. Okay, you get ready, that's a lot. You're done by nine pm. Okay, lights out. You could be watching Law and Order, but.

00:27:22
Speaker 1: You're doing the whole set, like at sound check to.

00:27:24
Speaker 5: Practice, just like yeah, just to kind of dial it it. But otherwise it's it's easy.

00:27:30
Speaker 1: When you've done at nine, I'm in.

00:27:32
Speaker 5: I want this and the catering is like good what.

00:27:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, sign me up for an orchestra.

00:27:39
Speaker 5: Okay, we know who to talk to.

00:27:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That's really fun though. It's I feel like doing different things just feeds it all and you know, breaks it up in a nice way.

00:27:49
Speaker 15: Yeah.

00:27:49
Speaker 5: I think you're right.

00:27:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to do something different for us both. We're going to do a cover song. I like to do a cover on these podcasts because it kind of levels us out all and it's like then we get to do something new together, you know. And we decided on this amazing song Maryanne Faithful recorded called the Ballad of Lucy Jordan, and I love the song. It's so good shing and I remember so I actually just saying this at Sundance because my one of my good friends produced the documentary on Maryann Faithful, which you should all see because it's really very different and beautiful and it honors her in a really nice way. But I had the soundtrack to Thelma and Louise and I this was on it, and that's how I knew the song.

00:28:44
Speaker 5: And thank you for introducing me to this song because I didn't know it.

00:28:47
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that you didn't know it.

00:28:48
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't, I'm not. That's not an apology for what's about to happen. I just mean, I just mean, thank you for introducing me to it, because it's so it's just shattering. Yeah, I mean, her stuff is not that well known to everyone, which is crazy because I tend to think like if there was like a giant Mount Rushmore, I feel like she's on it.

00:29:09
Speaker 1: She is, but I don't feel like I don't know.

00:29:12
Speaker 5: She just didn't get her do.

00:29:13
Speaker 1: I don't think she got her due? But what a badass?

00:29:17
Speaker 10: Yeah?

00:29:18
Speaker 1: And did you know that shel Silverstein actually wrote this song?

00:29:22
Speaker 5: No? I know.

00:29:23
Speaker 1: Isn't that wild? Really?

00:29:24
Speaker 13: Yeah?

00:29:24
Speaker 1: I actually didn't know that until recently. But so that's a fun, fun fact, fun fact. And I just love her so much, and we're going to do the song.

00:29:33
Speaker 5: Let's do it to it?

00:29:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, how are you guys doing out there? Yeah?

00:29:56
Speaker 1: Maybe we could get some tech support.

00:29:58
Speaker 13: You got it?

00:29:59
Speaker 1: It looks like it's about to fall all right in love?

00:32:12

Speaker 1: I love that. Such is great. That's a good one. I love how it ends on the five and it just doesn't resolve. It does the result because she floats off into I mean, I think she jumps off the roof. That's my theory.

00:35:12
Speaker 5: But I'm I'm like, I'm up to minds. I feel like jump off the roof or like ends up in an insane asylum. Yes, but either way it is great for women.
