Miley Cyrus: 'Younger Now' Interview | Apple Music

0:00

it's great to finally meet you thank you there's brand new album younger now your most personal record today and yeah pinion definitely wrote all the words you know the pictures are coming from a personal place the artwork for guests type art and your godmothers on the record I mean you're opening yourself up

0:12

on this yeah and I think just with this writing process for me it's been a really different experience because I've never even put an album out this way as you know we're a little bit crazy today because I am you know at this point we wrote the record kind of while it was

0:28

coming out if that makes sense so I was still when Malibu was coming out I was still working on the rest of the record and promising an album like everybody rounds come out later this year I've only got like six songs on it so why did you want to rush Malibu I mean apart

0:39

from the fact it's a beautiful style it was the perfect timing for me I grow and evolve and change like very quickly so I always want to put the music out before I hate it you know it's like you gotta put it out why I still live in Malibu you know cuz I'm now I'm spending most

0:54

my time in Nashville now and that's what happens when you when I take too much time on a record it's like well you're singing about Malibu but you don't even like live there anything so why'd you move back to Nashville I I need to be with my roots I'm from Nashville it's

1:05

born and raised and it's kind of like I don't know you meet a lot of people that live in Nashville you don't meet a lot of people that are from Nashville because right now it's kind of it's like its back on fire that passion for music has lit the city back up and when I was younger growing up in

1:21

Nashville music you know the Music City part was dead a lot of people had no jobs a lot of that dream had been dimmed and I think the light of the city had definitely dulled out and now it is just so lively again it's got such an amazing energy and I think the passion for

1:41

making great music not just making music but making music that means something and that tells a story is just so like the abundance of writers and talent and musicians and saw like all these amazing things that just keep me so inspired so I find myself to be the most inspired

1:58

there but when I'm not at home in Nashville I am in Malibu and I'm with my two pigs I have no pigs yet in Nashville so it is very weird that I am pig less yeah on the farm yeah but I have crammed you're trying to load me into some kind of I'm gonna buy two pigs in the Malibu

2:16

with a too many horses seven dogs two cats we've got the whole farm in Malibu and I don't have a farm in Nashville it sounds idyllic in Malibu and you know I think that the wide-open sky plays a big role on this record you know not just from the first song in the first video

2:33

but also the feel of the record the opening of the record the opening line of the record is and I paraphrase badly so please excuse me make something up something I'll do my best to state the state of the scripts something on the lines of I feel like I've just woken up um you know when did you wake up when

2:48

did win that feeling happen that line for me is about I feel like I just woke up and like all this time I've been asleep the next part is even though it's not who I am I'm not afraid of who I used to be so it's saying all the things that I've been before make me who I am

3:02

and who I'm gonna be and so not being embarrassed or ashamed of ever who you've been cuz I think a lot of people just a lot of younger people too I think of my generation like what we've been brought up believing and what we believe can be different I think everyone does

3:17

that with their parents and she live in process you've grown up in process like we've been watching you live this life in a process I was the first thing I was gonna say to you was when we met was what a life like what a life yeah to date yeah like I suppose with this record people have been asking me like

3:32

this is kind of like a reintroduction of yourself introducing the new me and that's like not it at all it's actually this me as a person that really embraced all embraces all the past my selves as well because they're creating every you know tomorrow's me is is the is that way

3:50

because of whatever I've learned or been through today everything that I'm gonna say and do today is affecting my tomorrow and then tomorrow the tomorrow and then that's gonna make the person that I'll be 10 years from now 20 years from now is all these little days and so

4:03

I guess for me I've just had a really different experience because everyone's watched me go day from day from day you know so I think people have this a little bit more of an they used to I think people used to feel they had more of that ownership of but she's our little thing that we grew up loving and

4:23

listening to and it's like you know that's apps lutely what gives me the creative freedom that I have today is that loyalty of the fans that did grow up with me but they've grown up with me they've grown up too she made a pretty decent statement with bangs I mean that

4:37

was a moment I think up to bang as short felt like you was still kind of coming out of the tail end of being and I was I had only been wrapped a year and a half I was crazy you know I was when I was making bangers I had just wrapped my show a year and a half prior so yeah

4:51

absolutely and you know and so I for once was you know I was 19 and finally could go out because I didn't have work the next day for one time in my life you know when I was 12 years old I didn't have sleepovers because I had worked the next day that's not normal going out and having fun and

5:13

experiencing life that is normal so what I was doing or what I am doing that's so outrageous is so much more age-appropriate then no I can't go out with my friends to the Juicy J show tonight because I have to work tomorrow so you would view of being honest with

5:30

yourself and you were telling us exactly who you were at that moment in your life or regardless of what you'd been through up to that point where you present enough in the moment where you're making that record before we screwed ahead because we're talking about it to realize that that you were setting

5:43

yourself up for freedom that ultimately where the bangers succeeded or failed and ultimately it succeeded that you were setting yourself up for to be able to make dead pets and do what the you want well I didn't really know what that was gonna open what doors that was

5:54

gonna open for me but you know what like when I work with Mike will I work with Mike will I work with Pharrell because I love them not only do I love them like family I love their music so to go and work with the Flaming Lips if you would ask me in middle school who my favorite

6:09

band is of all time I would tell you the Flaming Lips and I almost felt like I was living that almost famous story like you know the kid that gets to go on tour with their favorite band and I felt every day like I was living that almost famous lifestyle because I'm like how is

6:22

it that I'm such a fan and now that's like my friend that's my family I guess I didn't really realize those doors because I think people were gonna be really attracted to someone like The Flaming Lips something was attracted to the freedom was the punk rock and roll

6:37

that that punk rock do and through that into hip-hop music also because I think for me like my mom always said she was like you know she would sneak out to go see like rock and roll music when she was in high school and when I you know when I was 19 I started sneaking out to go see whether

6:52

it was this rumored show or whoever it was and that was like this rebellious time in my life where I wasn't rebelling against anyone that I had been at that time and people called it rebelling but it wasn't rebelling it was finally having time off you know and so I think

7:08

that's what now I got that that was your time off that was my time bang his world tour was your time off tonight Jim Rose my time off I think I had to live like that year and a half and be myself for a year and a half till I could even write a song like bangers you know to write a

7:25

song like bangers where it's like you know as I'm trying to think of some of the crazy lines but you know it's like anything that we're saying with with you know with Britney on the track or whatever it was like I had to live that life to be able to write those kind of

7:39

songs to be able to write you know with future to be able to write with Luke and to be able to write these songs I had to live life which I hadn't gotten to do so I I definitely never will complain I had like the best childhood ever because my parents made sure of that my parents are

7:55

the best you know my mom is not a momager stage mama juror that cares about the wrong thing she did appreciate you she would almost force me to let go have fun sometimes cuz she would want me to give myself that break because if you're exhausted you're not you're not having fresh ideas and I think that's

8:14

what was so dope about bangers as bangers was just fresh so do they understand that when other people were looking at bangers and looking at what you thought I was crazy right because I wanted because you know you took it to the extreme and that was that was a big part of the appeal for

8:24

people was that you had set fire to the old you in such a dramatic way and moved so far down the road my mom's like you're building the wood a tongue slide I'm like yeah building the tongue slide and I'm gonna I'm gonna ride a giant hot dog over 20,000 people right we were you

8:38

and you had the hot dog idea by the way I you know what I you know what I was singing about I was think about that I was watching The Truman Show and I was thinking about how my life was like The Truman Show and so everything that we created it at the end of it I ride the

8:50

hot dog through a screen that got the exit sign just like Athena Truman yeah cuz I felt like I was living on the Truman Show so they I understood your parents were like and your friends your closest friends were like man this is a reaction she needs to get someone to go for a hot dog

9:03

ride they always everyone it was very scary actually being on the hot dogs yes being very high and very high on the hot dogs it was very terrifying you know drugs played a big pot in that time in your life yes it absolutely did there's six months over this week which is like

9:19

not fun but feels pretty good well congratulations the huge moment you know and it seems to be at that moment leading into did Pitts like that was all part of the experimentation part of it when you listen back to those records and I don't know if you do listen back

9:30

to his records or sure I love that that depends occurred is probably the proudest of any record I've ever been amazing so do you hear the drugs on it you hear the way you were in your time in your life on that record yes I mean I definitely remember to just like more than anything I wrote that because my

9:42

dog had died and so that's where my truth always is it's like I wrote a song called the dead pets when I had lost a fish that I loved a lot and I loved a dog that I lost and that's what the base of the record was it was everyone else that makes it about that I'm like it's

9:58

so funny like even for Wayne Coyne like he's actually the biggest nerd that just wants to make music that doesn't really do drugs so that's like everyone's like he's he's this great you know he's he is naturally that imaginative like I just always thought the same thing I was like

10:11

this dude's got to be on acid all the time and he like never what used to be which is very disappointing he lies you telling me she don't use jellies books he's like he doesn't even do acid so it was kind of crazy where it's like you know for me it was a he just really I

10:25

don't know if people can imagine being that imaginative without fake it was like yeah like no my dog died I'm really that inspired by it you know so yeah so this record no drug six months sober you're clean you're clear of mine no I never say I never say forever about

10:40

anything before right now it feels really good and on this record it sounds like you know you've found some you've found things you want to say and emotions that perhaps were clouded by drugs and by distractions and by hot dogs for me I'm back in that cycle of I want to work really hard and I'm just

10:53

working so so hard right now that I need like all the energy and I need my brain to be fully there to be able to articulate exactly what I want to say about this record and what I want this record to represent which is what well I'm very involved in like in in my my pets role my world like

11:12

I just like I'm a full-time mom to the seven dogs and the two pigs and the cats and the horses and that's like my priority is my happiness and that's why I have happy hippy because I wanted to give my life a bigger purpose I did not want me naked on a wrecking ball

11:29

engraved on my tombstone and that'd be all that I'm worth I want my legacy not to be about the amount of Records that I've sold I first and foremost want to be known as a humanitarian and you know an activist some you know an advocate for the animals like that's what I want to be

11:46

known as I want to be known as an activist that blows through the record I mean in a song like rainbow land as well which really is you know that's that's reaching out to all of us and saying look you know I understand things are tough right now it starts inside and you know to reach out to your godmother

11:58

Dolly Parton to sing on that song well I mean I mean obviously we'll talk in a minute about the incredible voice notes at the beginning and yeah what was the actual experience of what you know giving the song back but first I wrote this song actually about the troops I

12:09

wrote the song about you know a soldier coming home and this is before the trans military and everything had happened I want to write the song about you know thanking all the people including the trans military the LGBT community that spot for our country every single person

12:22

that's ever done that been coming home back to their family and I sent it to dolly and she said you know she's like instead of this being about a love song about a reconnection let's let love build that bridge you know let's um you know it says we are rainbows me and you

12:36

every color every hue and it's about every if we celebrate every person for every one that's so different if we celebrate them being different instead a rainbow wouldn't be a rainbow if everyone was the same and so wanting to live in this like we're creating this fantasy land but why can't it be reality

12:53

why can't it be rainbow land why can't we all live in this in this society where everyone that's different is celebrated and then it says you know it's like wouldn't it be nice to live in a paradise or we're all free to be exactly who we are and that's the kind of world that I think you know hopefully

13:08

in my lifetime we'll be living in right now it seems like it's pretty far away and that's not to sound pessimistic because I'm with you I stand with you I'd like to change things in that direction I feel like change is coming I'm not sure if that's the first step everything

13:19

has to fall to be rebuilt right got so many old rules and laws and we're running on such an ancient you know system that if we as you know this younger generation and for the thinkers that are like my parents that grew up thinking very differently than they think now and accepting that change I

13:37

want I want to talk about that for a second because you are someone who is very sensitive clearly and is aware of what's going on around you you feel an urge to want to change things about that you don't get stuck in there and the shadows on it you step into the room

13:49

you've done so throughout and right now we live in a very divisive time with a president who doesn't think like you think and I wondered whether or not you're in a situation with your parents and with your friends and with people who you grew up with who maybe you don't

14:00

think like you do and what those conversations are like because you have a got a strong voice in this well it's been very um just so inspiring for me as a person to watch my parents and grow with me we're from Nashville Tennessee we grew up with a different way of thinking and

14:17

I think for me the reason why happy hippy has been so wonderful is it's not just about people accepting themselves it's about people and and this is such a deeper conversation but just a little touch on it is you know the reason why you know over half of the homeless

14:32

population are LGBT or suicidal going to sleep hungry every night is because of that lack of acceptance and a lot of that comes from their friends their families their communities not expanding their way of thinking and loving their ideology of what sexuality and gender means more than they love the person

14:52

that is their daughter their son their grandchild like well watching my family learn about like gender fluidity through me and accepting me and loving me is not what every young person or any person of any age gets to celebrate that their family accepts them no matter what and

15:10

so I'm really inspired and believe that everyone can grow and everyone can change and everyone's brains are allowed to expand and I think the reason why I say and younger now is change is a thing you can count on change is the only thing you know for sure is everything's

15:24

going to change and so you know I think people should accept and embrace and be stoked and excited about change instead of having this stigma that surrounds it you know you when someone wants to say something gnarly to you sometimes they go like you've changed I know your honor why is

15:39

that a bad thing yeah like you've changed you'd be like yeah you've changed you know and so like that change is an awesome thing and so I really think when you fall you get back up and you're stronger because you've learned something you've got back up you have that more self-confidence of I can

15:53

do anything I can change anything so I do I'm definitely not naive in my thinking of where we're at as a country and as a planet really but I'm also very optimistic in the fact that there are a lot of people that are like me that won't you know like it says in rainbow

16:10

land I don't think I'll sleep a wink because it's only thought I think I know where I stand you know there's a lot of people that think like that that know where they stand that aren't gonna give up until the dream becomes a reality my favorite quote from John Lennon a dream

16:22

you dream alone is a dream a dream you dream together as a reality I love that now you're clean now you saw but now you're very clear of mind what kind of tools do you have to enable you to get through that it's about stillness of the mind being able to still the mind that's

16:35

overactive and over-reactive all the time so obviously and if people wanted less hippie-dippie remedy I would say do find someone that you trust that you can talk to no matter who that is and like for me that's that's always has been always will be my dad and that's not everyone has that and so I don't

16:53

think I think you know friends or the family that we choose kind of things so whether it's a friend whether it's someone that you find online happy hippie we've been able to work with a bunch of different suicide relief programs and you know like chat rooms and just being able to bring a community

17:08

together and I think for me it's it's always been my dad so I even say that on a song inspired it goes says you know he always says like that yeah my dad always has a way of knowing what to say so what I'm feeling Matt he makes me feel and stay inspired instead what was the

17:23

lowest point for you when was the point where you felt your most lost you know I've like I always kind of have believed you know like don't get lost get found so I feel like there hasn't been this time for me where I've really like lost Who I am or felt really hopeless because

17:40

I just like I refuse to give up so I don't there hasn't been a time where I've like given up on myself you no like I believe in myself I believe in what I'm doing I believe in my work and you always have yeah and that's not to say that some days I don't wake up and I

17:55

just like you know but I never feel like quitting you know I may feel like it's really hard but I and I may feel like it's really like never gonna let up and never get easier for me I've been through some things that have hurt a lot and it hurts less and less every single

18:13

day and then it's like a good memory of what used to be and you can celebrate what used to be not what could have been you know so I don't really I don't feel lost I feel found this record that we're talking about right here is called younger now Miley Cyrus it's it's lovely they have time with you to be able to

18:28

dive into this record you know you've kept the personnel small you get to keep the sound and and the feel of their record very sort of I think that there's a lot of space for performance and a lot of space for you to find the core of the song some people call that going back to

18:40

your roots and saying that it's more I suppose a record that comes from you know your family heritage or whatever but where does it come from for you what were you trying to say with the feel of this record for me I mean right now I am listening to a lot of you know Emmylou

18:53

Harris or I'm listening I'm listening to dolly more than ever or listening to Johnny Cash especially Elvis has obviously been a huge influence on the whole visual of the record as well and so celebrating that kind of like for me my favorite era music is you know kind

19:08

of like forties fifties country I love that kind of like probably more 50s country and then with some 60 70s rock and roll's so I feel like it's kind of had this like it definitely has this country like bluegrass feeling and heart to it but with this the edge and the kind of that feeling of that

19:26

revolutionary sixties and seventies rock and roll music the reason why I bought that before is because and this is why Malibu struck me so much you know I think dead pets is great and I think it's really interesting record and some really cool moments on it but when I

19:37

heard Malibu I was like that's the voice that I remembers hearing and watching when you did the barbeque sessions load them up online May and there was a moment I think we were in the middle of all the chaos of bang is and everyone's like well she's smoking loads are where

19:47

she's turning around the world with a crazy colorful circus and it's all getting out of hand and Robin Thicke and there's that and every other thing yeah and then you come out there and you just open your mouth and voice happens hmm and I'm like wow that's in the kit

19:58

that's in the cannon like yeah that's just sitting there ready to go I think what people are liking a lot about this record and do gravitate towards in Malibu and that's a really huge part of me because like when I'm at home like I'm never not in like my yoga clothes playing my guitar by myself out

20:17

by the beach with maybe one of my dogs like that's my life and that's who I really am but also who I really am he's like I love these sunglasses down the middle so like end of day like that's me too I think I know who I am it's if other people know how to accept that you're

20:35

allowed to be all those course you are but it's like it's not that's not my real life and this is like the character life that I have let me slide on the tongue slide cuz it's fun because I like it I love show business because I grew up when show business was like Dolly Parton

20:51

to me like I love the glamour of show business because she's telling the truth but how fun is it to wear those outfit and there's a lot of times where I've gone through and I might tomorrow my more kind of androgynous stage is around like I hate these sunglasses and I might

21:07

just want to wear it something that seals like feels super tomboy like I could just hate those tomorrow and just hate them but I could like them again and like a week you know so I never know I'm like so I'm a hoarder I can't get rid of anything because I never know who I'm gonna be a week from now so the

21:22

person I hated yesterday I might like really embrace the next day but it's not this multiple it's not as multiple personality disorder as it sounds like it's like a complete and total freedom if I don't think oh well what someone gonna think if I'm playing a music with

21:36

an upright bass but I'm wearing these shoes yeah I'd rather that you come out looking like a pastiche from the 50s or 60s I and I'm not trying to fake it exactly and I think for me like this record isn't throwback of where I am just recreating music that I've loved I'm allowing the spirit of the music

21:53

that I've always loved that's inspired me to be so such a powerful force in this record but I'm not doing like a throwback record kind of thing if you know what I mean I'm making it my own set I'm modernizing that Grand Ole Opry country music style when you're writing

22:09

those songs when you when you reported to be believed you be kindled into relationship but whatever situation you're in and you write these songs is it challenging for you to express yourself in that way knowing that you live in a world where everyone and especially now in social media are going

22:22

to sit there and they're gonna write about yeah but it's also about that like not to try to like you know dodge this question cuz I'll always be sure to up with you I'm happy to say yes Malibu is about like being in love and being free but finding self-love first because I

22:37

don't like that people think a relationship is you're supposed to be just save yourself I should create this little like love heart cuz there's two halves and then you come together and then you're full I am full I am I am me I am totally a thousand percent full there's someone on the planet that I

22:53

like a lot and I and I love a lot and like would rather share my time with than anyone else or talk to more than anyone else but I'm full so like younger now is my own self love of like I'm happy to be where I'm at and you know for that like there are songs like I

23:10

would die for you there's song there are those songs but there's also songs like inspired so for this to always be written up is like this is my love album this is my I'm the most me for right now that I can be but dead pets was most me and The Beggar's is most me but this is

23:26

the most me right right now I think about all the records you've given us the journey you've been on and you're only what 24 yeah I'm gonna be 25 this year 25 yeah have you ever stopped and thought or do you just keep going forward no I stop and think a lot I'm actually

23:40

really stoked I'm stopping and thinking tomorrow and going back home for a little while and doing no work and hanging with my grandma who's like as cuckoo as I am you think I'm cuckoo she's really good yeah what's your grandma like it like me but like a foot shorter cuz time has made her shrink and

23:56

she's got worse she's got very very white hair she her hair white all white when she was like in her 30s like she had this really cool white stripe and then she went all white and she has flaming red eyebrows and lips and she's always in white short shorts she's my

24:11

twin I'm like I look forward to that's part of younger now to embracing instead of being scared of getting older I'm like I can't wait til my biggest job like of the day all she wants to do all day is ride the launch that's how you get old my Oh dope and like she's been able to

24:28

experience the vape pen in her life she had no idea what my dad was always walking around with and she like can't believe the electronic weed pens so she's gotten to see a lot of cool things happen in her life I want to talk about your dad because there's some really lovely reflection on the record about

24:43

your dad in particular on that song of the last song on the record inspired you know and you know it's it's funny you know because I think that a lot of people look at your family because of the success your dad had early on then yourself and now Noah and it's a real it

24:54

does have a classic showbiz family so I feel to it people forget you're a family you know and you are and I want it I wonder what what's the best bit of advice your dad has given you throughout your life or one off I have a lot of sayings from my dad but he always says a

25:05

trying time is no time to quit trying and I think that is like the most relevant that it's ever been you know so when things get hard when that's what it says in the song and inspired it says like when I'm feeling sad you make me feel inspired don't get down get inspired about it you know so we are a

25:21

family and what I have in my life the thing I'm most proud of is my family because we have somehow my parents are super rad they've kept it together you know and they've grown apart and they've going back together and they're just that perfect visual of like love is love

25:37

and it's not this idea of what relationships marriage isn't this idea that we have it pictured from movies and from whatever it is my parents have had a very unique relationship and it's just so awesome that they're still together yeah but the challenges of any relationship are the things that make it

25:52

stronger in the long and I always am like thinking I'm like yeah the only difference of my parents from me is they've older than me so they've been through a lot they've experienced a lot but they're just humans just like me trying to figure it out this is their first time being parents just like it

26:07

will be mine and I you know you'll mess up and all these things and like we put so much pressure on our parents to be perfect when they're just like us and they're just figuring it all out there's just such a good example of how that you're supposed to be and there's never

26:20

been this like resentment or it was never like they were never they just stayed amazing people the whole time had a lot of respect for each other and a lot of lot of class it was very cool what's your most like clearest memory because you because like because it you

26:34

know the album opens with the creek mm-hmm the sound of the creek which is my real backyard that's my backyard amazing so we know that you're drawing us into a place where you are taking us on a very personal journey of reflection and hopes and dreams and what you want

26:45

for the world of yourself and also what you've come from what is the one what is your clearest childhood memory probably the times that I've got to spend with my granddad who was my was my dad's dad he was a democratic legislator he worked really he was a man of the

27:01

people he's the one that taught us to publish him because I love animals there's a very special day that so natural there's thing called a mule day where you just go and like play with donkeys all day and that was my favorite childhood memory of playing with the donkeys he got me a donkey still alive

27:17

name you're right and he lied to me and said he was half zebra because he had this really cool mohawk that was all different colors not until like last year did I realize that this donkey wasn't half zebra but probably getting my my donkey zebra yeah and him building

27:33

me a like a swing and yeah the spending time with him because he was very cool and he was a huge inspiration inspiration very political so I think that's where I got my political side yeah you know aside from all of the important things that you do you know you're still someone that's a real

27:47

fascination to people and I think that a lot of attention in this day and age can really be thrown at people a fascination and you seem to be in a place of really being able to skillfully avoid right now which is I'm sure very peaceful for you yeah but you haven't always been in the

27:57

past you take those shots hard when you're on the receiving end if your peers or other people who are firing things at you and you know that you're a headline I'm okay I'm good I'm like this is this is just like I said of like not having me you know on a wrecking ball my

28:10

tombstone like this isn't what makes me I'm so complete without any of this I am so much more and so much more complete than these headlines then these records and these number ones and these whatever it's like I love my life and like the fact that I'm just a lot I mean this is

28:29

like I've clearly smoke some weed my day the fact that I get to be like a human being and my heart just like beats without me telling it to and we're just sitting here speaking and communicating and I'm creating like a human relationship and a bond I'm so stoked for that that like write whatever you

28:44

want I'm so happy just to be on this planet and be able to be in the position I'm in like these things are just so mindless and below my ultimate goal which is what to make the world better to make the real change to make happy hippie what we stand for a reality which

29:04

is for the world to not be the way that it is right now and I think we're on I thought we're saying I think we're on the right path I think a lot of us are really trying so hard but anytime you think you're doing enough know that you can do more like I always put on my Instagram my sign-off is love love and

29:19

more love it's never enough it's never too much it will never be enough like love more even when you think you're at the ceiling you never will be like busts it says that in bad mood you know what Hillary Clinton told us all of us girls it touched me so much saying the glass

29:32

ceilings got a break you know and that girl that's gonna break that glass ceiling is watching her speak right now you know so the glass ceilings got a break it says I don't know how much more I can take and then part of the bridge says you know it's gone on way too long which it

29:46

has I think this like old world is done it's time for it's time for the way that it's supposed to be touring when is the tour stop obviously when I tour I like to do it right but also that's not really what this record calls for necessarily so I think I got to take a

30:02

break for a second it does though it does it's very visual so you know of course I'm like how do I get these videos so why can't you be the artist that comes through and takes something that feels organic and feels real and feels personal and doesn't feel like the modern way that the modern is being

30:18

represented now like I think I just have to be able to get imaginative again because I think my imagination has I'm definitely like I've always got more and more but I got it I got a refuel I got a refill myself I got to be like I got to fill my brain back up with all the ideas

30:31

and right now I've used so many of these ideas all year and I'm now like out here and just like really putting myself out there like just putting my heart and everything that I feel like out on the line just saying it just constant letting people in that I think before I

30:47

could go and just have people like what and what from me more I got to get back to myself yeah yeah you know you're in the out of saying no I'm this is the error of note yes you actually have no idea of my friends laughing because no I've learned I always just now say no

31:03

it's the era of not no it is the no that's an area let me tell you I'd be interviewed many many artists over the course of my life and I've and I've been lucky enough and you talked about forming relationships to have extended relationships with people that are going to become friendships yeah and I've

31:17

watched them get into the air of know yeah that is a very valuable era it's the best ever because I have to refill I have to be full again before otherwise the fans and the audience they're the best there they almost refill you in this way too because like all that love for loving

31:32

what you made is awesome but it's also they take a lot you know because I've got to perform I got to give and I've given so much of just letting people in that I got to get back to me for a second so yes I've learned the art of saying no I'm glad you said yesterday thank you yes thank you
