Episode 2 Later... with Jools Holland

Let's start off with the legend that is Mary J Blige.

# No-one will play this game with you.

# My love won't be the same for you no more.

# No-one will play this game with you.

# My love won't be the same for you no more.

# No-one will play this game with you.

# My love won't be the same for you no more.

The wonderful Mary J Blige! Who are the other guests, a room packed with

legends. From Manchester, we have Go Go Penguin. From London, the one and

only Marianne Faithfull. From Co Wicklow, we are delighted to have in

the room, Hozier. From Southampton, it is Band of Skulls. But first,

from Sweden we welcome first aid kit.

# Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter.

# I don't know if I'm scared of dying.

# But I'm scared of living too fast, too slow.

# There's no starting over, no new beginnings.

# Time races on, you've just gotta keep on keeping on.

# Can't worry 'bout what's behind you.

# Or what's coming for you further up the road.

# I try not to hold on to what is gone.

# Having no idea who or what or where I am.

# There's hope, there's a silver lining.

Thank you, first aid kit. The next artists have been wowing the crowds

at festivals and now we welcome band of Scholes. -- band of Scholes.

# trust you. # trust you.

# what game are you playing now. # what game are you playing now.

# trust you to be tripping now. # trust you.

# my hooch EQ chief. # you look like Picasso.

# a kind of like it. Thank U Band of Skulls.

We welcome back into the studio, Mary J Blige. It is good to see you.

You have this incredible new record and the London Sessions, made in

London and a lot of the artists are new artists. How did it come about?

It came about with me doing a song with disclosure. It blew up over

here in London and did very well. Then it started blowing up Indian

knighted States. The whole idea was to do an EP with disclosure. I just

signed at Capitol records. I was speaking to the head of Capitol

records, Steve Barnett about the idea of doing the EP with

disclosure. He said don't do an EP with disclosure, do a whole album in

London and surround yourself with the producers and writing and the

amazing up and coming talent here. That is how it came about.

Disclosure Sam Smith, Emily Sunday, great people. Emily said she had

been in the studio with you. How does it compare working with these

people because you have some of the top Americans, how does the methods

of working change? Do the British people stop and have tea and cake?

They definitely have their lunch more often than the people in the

United States do. The hours are early, I was in the studio at 12

noon every day. That is not normal. We usually do it at six p.m..

We get there at 12, stop about 12.15 for lunch? No. We are working - once

we get something. Once we get a song, everybody takes a break

because we got it. We go, let's have lunch. That is how it goes. Did you

look at stuff while you were here. Did you look around? I have been

here several times. This time asat in parks I hadn't sat with before.

There is a park with a gigantic hill. I don't know the name of it.

There is benches and people, I don't know. Greenwich Park. Yeah. You

didn't tell me. You went to Greenwich Park and you didn't tell

me. Amazing. I discovered Shoreditch. I didn't know, all the

years I had been coming here. I had no idea. This is the modern world.

10, 20 years ago nobody went to the East End, except for me I played the

piano there. It is a groovy bit. You are there. You are going to do a

song you have written with Sam Smith. Tell us about that song? The

song, that we are about to sing, is called If You're Not Loving You. It

was written by Sam Smith alone. When I heard his reference, of course, it

gave me goose pumps. I couldn't wait to record it. Yeah. That's the song.

I hope we can do that in a moment here at the piano. Yeah. Mary J.

Blige. APPLAUSE

We will hear that song in a moment. First, we can go in this direction

and well Hozier. -- welcome Hozier. # My lover's got humour.

# She's the giggle at a funeral. # Knows everybody's disapproval.

# I should've worshiped her sooner. # If the heavens ever did speak.

# She's the last true mouthpiece. # Every Sunday's getting more bleak.

# A fresh poison each week. # We were born sick.

# You heard them say it. # My Church offers no absolutes.

# She tells me, worship in the bedroom.

# The only heaven I'll be sent to. # Is when I'm alone with you.

# I was born sick. # But I love it.

# Command me to be well. # Amen.

# Amen. # Take me to church.

# I'll worship like a dog. # At the shrine of your lies.

# I'll tell you my sins. # And you can sharpen your knife.

# Offer me that deathless death. # Good God, let me give you my life.

# Take me to church. # I'll worship like a dog.

# At the shrine of your lies. # I'll tell you my sins.

# And you can sharpen your knife. # Offer me that deathless death.

# Good God, let me give you my life. # If I'm a pagan of the good times.

# My lover's the sunlight. # To keep the goddess on my side.

# She demands sacrifice. # Drain the whole sea.

# Get something shiny. # Something meaty for the main

course. # That's a fine looking high horse.

# What you got in the stable? # We've a lot of starving faithful.

# That looks tasty. # That looks plenty.

# This is hungry work. # Take me to church.

# I'll worship like a dog. # At the shrine of your lies.

# I'll tell you my sins. # Good God, let me give you my life.

# Offer me that deathless death. # Take me to church.

# I'll worship like a dog. # At the shrine of your lies.

# I'll tell you my sins. # Good God, let me give you my life.

# Offer me that deathless death. # No Masters or Kings.

# When the Ritual begins. # There is no sweeter innocence.

# Than our gentle sin. # In the madness and soil.

# Of that sad earthly scene. # Only then I am human.

# Only then I am clean. # Amen.

# Amen. # Take me to church.

# I'll worship like a dog. # At the shrine of your lies.

# I'll tell you my sins. # And you can sharpen your knife.

# Offer me that deathless death. # Good God, let me give you my life.

# Take me to church. # I'll worship like a dog.

# At the shrine of your lies. # I'll tell you my sins.

# And you can sharpen your knife. # Offer me that deathless death.

# Good God, let me give you my life. # You're never ever going to cover

up # You're always remain

# Sipping on another cup # Take it away

# It weighs so heavy # So heavy on the heart

# So what you going to do now # Now that you're falling, you're

falling down # There's only so much I can do

# If you're not loving you # Marching in to try and save the

day # And never works out

# Always hopeful that I'll make a change

# What's that about # It weighs so heavy

# So heavy, on my heart # So what you gonna do now

# Now that you're falling # You're falling down

# There's only so much I can do # If you're not loving you

# I love you # I want you to be all that you can

# Yeah, yeah, yeah # If I could, then I would, but you

know that I can't # No, I can't

# So what, what you gonna do now # Now that you're falling, you're

falling down # There's only so much I can do

# If you're not loving # What you gonna do now

# Now that you're falling # You're falling down

# There's only so much I can do # If you're not loving you...

# CHEERING AND

APPLAUS Thank you. The wonderful Mary J. Blige. If

You're Not Loving You from the London Sessions. Mary J has been

here in London, England. While they all had lunch, as you heard. Before

that we enjoyed Hozier. CHEERING AND APPLAUS

Now we have a great legend joined by a fabulous newey, joined by Anna

Calvi, it's Marianne Faithfull. # How many times have I found myself

in this place, without reason. # So many times to go round

and round in despair. # Looking for someone,

looking for something. # Falling back into myself

# And into the place I love in this garden, I've found my heart

# Without reason # Or excuses

# Not many hearts can feel and feel the blade

# Too many hearts that have never seen love's face

# Looking for someone # Looking for something and you

# Looking for someone # Looking something and you

# Looking for you # Looking for you

# Looking for you #

CHEERING AND APPLAUS

The wonderful, Marianne Faithfull with Falling Back. And Give My Love

To London with Anna Calvi. We welcome some Mercury nominees who

are splendid. It's GoGo Penguin. # wait to face the burning heat.

# thinking about my baby. # so in love I can hardly eat.

# my baby is so sweet. # when my baby found me.

# I was three days on a drunken sin. # I woke up with just the walls

around me. # I didn't care much how long I

lived. # I thought I had dreams her.

# she never asked me once about the wrong guy did.

# hold my body down. # I'm going home to her.

# when my time comes around. # my baby would never fret naan.

# what my hands and my body done. # I was kissing my baby.

# she put her love down slow and sweet.

# when my time comes around. # lay me gently in the cold, dark

earth. # I'm going home to her.

# when my time comes around. # lay me gently in the cold, dark

earth. Before that, the skills of GoGo

Penguin. Now one of the great legends of music. She has celebrated

50 years in music, we are delighted to have here, Marianne Faithfull.

Good to see you. Marvellous to see you. It is a great treat to have

been here. You are sounding better than ever with Anna Calvi. It is

almost, give my love to London. It is slightly sarcastic. Do you like

London? I am kind of fond of London, but I have had my ups and downs with

London, especially with the media. I don't like the British press.

Where'd do you live now? Between Dublin, or Ireland in general, and

Paris. So Dennis and champagne. A lovely treat. The first song you

played, you have Anna Calvi, you have other great guests? I wrote

that song with Anna Calvi. She picked up her little guitar -

wellhead big guitar. She is a little girl, with a guitar. I had the

lyrics and she is so talented. I immediately change them because I

thought she was too talented for these lyrics and I have to make them

better. It is a bit unnerving but somebody when you suddenly change

it. But she was perfectly able. You have lots of other great people?

Yes, Nick Kaye, who I have worked with before. Steve Earle is so

wonderful. He wrote, Give My Love To London with me. You have to say, if

you need to change the lyrics to fit into the music, you can. Bruised

ego! I think they are big enough men to take it. No, they are allowed to

change it, it is me with the bruised ego. You have been in an opera,

Seven Deadly Sins? It was written in the 20s. It wasn't a big hit and it

has never been a big hit. People don't seem to like it. It is almost

still, even now, because it is very anti-religious and very antifamily.

What are the seven deadly sins, just for the people at home. Pride,

sloth, anger, lust, greed... Food, that one. Gluttony? Gluttony!

Avarice and envy. What is the worst? Envy. I think we have learnt

something there. You have been making fantastic records and you

have toured with those, which was delightful. But I would like to go

back to the beginning. It would be a lovely thing to do.

# it is the evening of the day. # I sit and watch the children play.

# smiling faces, I can see. # but not for me.

# I sit and watch as tears go by. # my riches cannot buy every second.

# I want to hear the children sing. # all I hear is the sound of rain

falling on the ground. # I sit and watch as tears go by.

# doing things I used to do. # they think I am mean.

# I sit and watch as tears go by. The wonderful, Marianne Faithfull.

And now, first aid kit. # The sun shone high

those few summer days. # But just

as the moon it shines straight. # What if our hard work ends

in despair? # What

if the road won't take me there? # Oh, I wish, for once,

we could stay gold. # What if to love

and be loved is not enough? # What if I fall

and can't bear to get up? # Oh, I wish, for once,

we could stay gold. # We're

on our way through rugged land. # Top of that mountain

we wanted to stand. # But there is only forward,

no other way. # Tomorrow was your hope

at the end of the day. # What if our hard work ends

in despair? # What

if the road won't take me there? # Oh, I wish, for once,

we could stay gold. # What if to love

and be loved is not enough? # What if I fall

and can't bear to get up? # Oh, I wish, for once,

we could stay gold. # All of my dreams,

they fall and form a bridge. # All of my dreams,

they fall and form a bridge. # Of memories where I

can't get back to. # What if our hard work ends

in despair? # What

if the road won't take me there? # Oh, I wish, for once,

we could stay gold. # What if to love

and be loved is not enough? # What if I fall

and can't bear to get up? # Oh, I wish, for once,

we could stay gold. # All of my dreams,

they fall and form a bridge. CHEERING AND

APPLAUS E # Give my love to London

# Say I'll be there soon # Meet in Piccadilly

# And we'll dance by the light of the moon

# Dance by the light of the moon, boys

# Dance by the light of the moon # I'll visit all the places I used

to know so well # From Maida Vale to Chelsea

# Paradise to hell # Paradise to hell, boys

# Paradise to hell. # Skeletons are turning

# Twisting in the wind # That whips the tattered flags

along the streets of Kensington # Hell on earth is burning

# On the streets of Kensington # The river's running bloody

# The Tower is falling down # I'm singing Pirate Jenny

# While the Black Ship's bearing down

# Jenny's hating, breaking heart # Sure makes a lonesome sound

# Tonight I'll watch the city # Burning fiery bright

# Their kindness, out of pity # Will not get them through the

night # Chiswic's very pretty

# In the sacrificial light. -- Chiswick's

# # And if I was to die then

# I wouldn't really care # I'd wake up in the morning

# And I wasn't really there # I'd wake up in the morning

# And I wasn't really there # So give my love to London

# Tell them I'll be there soon had been meet in Piccadilly -- I'll be

there soon # Meet in Piccadilly

# And we'll dance by the light of the moon

# Dance by the light of the moon, boys

# # -- moon. #

Marianne Faithfull with Give My Love To London much before that we

enjoyed First Aid Kit. It's sad because we have to say that the

greatest British jazz trumpeter, Kenny Wheeler has passed away. We

have a clip of him. He is introduced by Ronnie Scott who doesn't seem to

move his lips while introducing him. Let's pay tribute to Kenny Wheeler.

He's an example of what can be done by a non--American musician playing

perfectly valid jazz music. The wonderful, late, Kenny Wheeler.

APPLAUSE. We go into this corner and enjoy,

once again, Band of Skulls. # Started praying,

just like a tribalite. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Thank you. Mary J Blige and Therapy. We will be

back on Tuesday at 10.00pm. Now I think it's time to say farewell to

all the beautiful people in our room. Have you got a groove up your

sleeve there. Excellent. Let's have it. Thank you to all of our guests.

Thank you, Mary J Blige. Thank you, GoGo Penguin. Thank you First Aid

Kit. Thank you band of souls. Yeah, yeah.

# Yeah, yeah # Yeah, yeah... #

Keep going. Thank you, Hozier. # Yeah, yeah... #

Let's hear it. Thank you, Hozier. Thank you to the wonderful, Marianne

Faithfull with Anna Calvi. Well, I think that's about it.
