0:00:28 > 0:00:31where we continue our musical journey from Derry to Dingle
0:00:31 > 0:00:33to London and back again.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35On tonight's show, we have Our Krypton Son and SOAK
0:00:35 > 0:00:37coming at us from Dingle.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And we have Marina And The Diamonds coming from the beautiful Glassworks
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- right here in Derry and SOAK.- SOAK will also be appearing in London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45She gets around.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47To kick us off tonight, we're going to start
0:00:47 > 0:00:50with the magnificent Damien Dempsey.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00# My buddy Stevie, I loved him well
0:01:00 > 0:01:06# We had some laughs, he was sound as a bell
0:01:06 > 0:01:12# Our little lives, they ran parallel
0:01:12 > 0:01:19# He played with fire and got burnt as hell
0:01:19 > 0:01:25# And I'm remembering little things we done
0:01:25 > 0:01:32# We'd bummed a trail out to the beach in the sun
0:01:32 > 0:01:38# We'd steal some ice pops and laugh and run
0:01:38 > 0:01:45# And through the sand dunes, with finger guns
0:01:45 > 0:01:52# But one day, Stevie, he got bitten by a bug
0:01:52 > 0:01:58# He was fascinated by the life of the thug
0:01:58 > 0:02:04# He felt a weakling and he craved some power,
0:02:04 > 0:02:12# But the thug's existence can soon turn sour
0:02:15 > 0:02:16# I'm missing you today
0:02:23 > 0:02:27# I'm missing you today
0:02:27 > 0:02:32# What I would give to see
0:02:32 > 0:02:36# You smiling back at me
0:02:36 > 0:02:39# And what I wouldn't do
0:02:40 > 0:02:43# For one last laugh with you
0:02:45 > 0:02:50# My buddy Chris, he was quiet, but tough
0:02:50 > 0:02:57# And to his face, you wouldn't call him a puff
0:02:57 > 0:03:02# We done the boxing and had many the scrap
0:03:03 > 0:03:10# To this young warrior, I tip my cap
0:03:10 > 0:03:16# In Celtic times, it wasn't seen as wrong
0:03:17 > 0:03:23# Till the Roman Empire, when the shame came along
0:03:23 > 0:03:29# They called this love evil and they done much harm
0:03:29 > 0:03:35# But if you're hurting no-one, you'll be in God's arms
0:03:37 > 0:03:41# Well, Chris and Stevie, I miss you both
0:03:43 > 0:03:48# Two more young people cut down from a rope
0:03:49 > 0:03:54# It breaks my heart that you went so far
0:03:56 > 0:04:01# To all young people, be proud of who you are... #
0:04:03 > 0:04:06APPLAUSE
0:04:40 > 0:04:43# I'm missing you today
0:04:48 > 0:04:59# I'm missing you today
0:05:02 > 0:05:09# Today
0:05:13 > 0:05:16# I'm missing you today
0:05:20 > 0:05:26# I'm missing you today
0:05:29 > 0:05:37# I'm missing you today
0:05:37 > 0:05:42# I'm missing you today
0:05:42 > 0:05:44# What I would give to see
0:05:45 > 0:05:49# You smiling back at me
0:05:49 > 0:05:52# What I wouldn't do
0:05:53 > 0:05:56# For one last laugh with you
0:06:03 > 0:06:06# Talk to me
0:06:06 > 0:06:13# And tell me how you feel
0:06:15 > 0:06:17# Lean on me
0:06:18 > 0:06:25# I'm here, my love is real, oh
0:06:26 > 0:06:30# Talk to me
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# And tell me
0:06:33 > 0:06:38# How you feel, oh
0:06:38 > 0:06:42# Lean on me
0:06:42 > 0:06:50# I'm here, my love is real. #
0:06:54 > 0:06:57APPLAUSE
0:07:06 > 0:07:09There's one artist, and only one artist,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12who appears in Dingle, Derry-Londonderry and London,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14here's SOAK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24# The stars and moon remind me of you
0:07:24 > 0:07:26# I don't know what to say
0:07:26 > 0:07:31# It might make you worse I don't understand
0:07:31 > 0:07:34# What her problem is, I think she's just a fish
0:07:36 > 0:07:41# I know you get it, but you don't deserve this
0:07:41 > 0:07:45# And I won't put up with the ignorance
0:07:45 > 0:07:49# And they tell you, they love you
0:07:49 > 0:07:51# But they don't mean it
0:07:51 > 0:07:55# I don't think they know what they mean
0:07:55 > 0:08:00# I don't think they know what love is
0:08:00 > 0:08:03# Throw it around like it's worthless
0:08:05 > 0:08:09# Don't think they know what love is... #
0:08:12 > 0:08:14PENGUINS SQUAWK
0:08:25 > 0:08:30# I don't get this town, neither do you
0:08:30 > 0:08:34# We should run away, just me and you
0:08:34 > 0:08:37# Cos I don't get the people here
0:08:37 > 0:08:40# They're curious
0:08:40 > 0:08:45# They don't really care, sea creatures interfere
0:08:45 > 0:08:49# Wish they would disappear
0:08:54 > 0:08:58# They don't know what love is
0:08:58 > 0:09:02# Throw it around like it's worthless
0:09:02 > 0:09:07# They don't know what love is
0:09:11 > 0:09:17# I prayed for you and you know I don't like Jesus
0:09:20 > 0:09:23# Want you to get better
0:09:23 > 0:09:27# Please, please, get better
0:09:27 > 0:09:35# For you, for me. #
0:09:43 > 0:09:45You're doing the rock and roll thing now,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49you're clocking up the air miles, you'll be performing in Derry
0:09:49 > 0:09:52and Dublin AND London and you're the only artist that's going
0:09:52 > 0:09:55to perform at all three Other Voices, so how does that feel?
0:09:55 > 0:10:00It's weird. It's really cool, but it's really weird.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I think the challenge is kind of like...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04doing the same songs,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07but making them so different each time.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09And it's amazing, isn't it, how different...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12When you have one song that works in one place
0:10:12 > 0:10:14it can be a completely different experience in another.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- I always think...- Sometimes it depends on the crowd
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- and the atmosphere and what the sound man's like...- Yeah.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22It's different everywhere.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I was talking to Gary Lightbody and I was, like,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28"How do you not get bored singing Chasing Cars and he was, like,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31"Because the audience makes it different every single time."
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's the reaction and that's the thing.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- That's I think why performing is so addictive.- Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- It's that two-way... - It's so different.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I suppose if it was the same every single time,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43same audience members every time, you'd probably get bored.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47As a singer sometimes, do you feel you can be very vulnerable,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50when you're on the stage, you can be very empowered?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Because it's your voice. It's your first...
0:10:52 > 0:10:56It's almost sort of how you explain yourself, really,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58sometimes when you're on stage.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00All my songs are about things I've experienced,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03things I've observed, different things and so...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06whenever you're on stage, it's like songs you wrote,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09in your room alone, you're kind of sharing with people
0:11:09 > 0:11:12and I think that leaves you in a very vulnerable state,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16but I think it's nice that I'm able to sort of share that emotion
0:11:16 > 0:11:18with other people and people can get something out of it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It means something and if you think...
0:11:21 > 0:11:25certain lyrics that I love, you know, great lyricists over the years,
0:11:25 > 0:11:30people that have wrote things, I suppose Bob Dylan would be one...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34where he would explain your mind and what's going on.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And, you know, people really do live by songs, sometimes
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and songs become their anthems, so to speak.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43We were laughing about I Will Survive, but in a way
0:11:43 > 0:11:47it is very anthemic for people and it gives people a great strength
0:11:47 > 0:11:50and I think that's why music consolidates good things together.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It brings people together. It's the one language,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- that communicates everything, isn't it?- When someone gets married,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01what song they use for their first dance, they'll always remember
0:12:01 > 0:12:04their first dance as that song and that'll stick with them for ever
0:12:04 > 0:12:07and I think things like that are so powerful,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11so music can just represent a certain part of your life
0:12:11 > 0:12:13and you can think back on it, hear that song and be, like,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16"Mind that time, when this happened..." That's incredible.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Songs that just ignite immediately memories and places...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Exactly. I think that's amazing.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25And that heal things as well, no, it's very powerful,
0:12:25 > 0:12:31- certain songs just stick to people's hearts.- Exactly.- That's great.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45# My mind is a hurricane site
0:12:48 > 0:12:54# I've been stitching threads to pull us by
0:12:56 > 0:12:59# This thread's not thick
0:13:03 > 0:13:09# And I won't ever be getting out
0:13:09 > 0:13:13# Your heart's an explosion
0:13:17 > 0:13:24# Makes promises it's not capable of
0:13:24 > 0:13:28# Your heart, your heart
0:13:31 > 0:13:36# Your heart, your heart
0:13:38 > 0:13:43# Your heart, your heart
0:13:45 > 0:13:50# Your heart, your heart's...
0:13:50 > 0:13:55# An explosion
0:14:06 > 0:14:09# My eyes are blurred
0:14:09 > 0:14:17# Breaking down in case, I can't read between my words
0:14:19 > 0:14:23# My shoes are worn
0:14:23 > 0:14:28# Running my legs off just to have you around
0:14:28 > 0:14:30# No
0:14:32 > 0:14:36# Am I feeling cold?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43# Sensual at first
0:14:43 > 0:14:48# But there's no chance of me going far
0:14:48 > 0:14:52# I am broken glass
0:14:54 > 0:15:00# Shattered on the pavement that you walk past
0:15:01 > 0:15:05# Your heart, your heart
0:15:08 > 0:15:13# Your heart, your heart
0:15:15 > 0:15:19# Your heart, your heart
0:15:22 > 0:15:27# Your heart, your heart's
0:15:27 > 0:15:31# An explosion. #
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Thanks.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51APPLAUSE
0:16:01 > 0:16:03There's a "From Kerry to Derry" tagline
0:16:03 > 0:16:05somewhere this year for sure,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07but here from Derry to Kerry
0:16:07 > 0:16:11comes tonight's Other Room act, Our Krypton Son.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21# Will you take my hand?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24# Down the back streets
0:16:27 > 0:16:30# Lovers are watching
0:16:33 > 0:16:36# The breeze rolled by
0:16:38 > 0:16:41# And I'm not too fearful
0:16:44 > 0:16:47# Of anything at all
0:16:49 > 0:16:51# But I'll never let you
0:16:55 > 0:17:00# Out of my sight
0:17:02 > 0:17:06# Catalonian love song
0:17:14 > 0:17:17# Catalonian love song
0:17:23 > 0:17:26# It's not a question
0:17:28 > 0:17:31# Of why didn't we?
0:17:34 > 0:17:35# Oh, there aren't any questions
0:17:39 > 0:17:43# For you or for me
0:17:45 > 0:17:49# And the rain is relentless
0:17:50 > 0:17:53# And it runs down the street
0:17:56 > 0:18:01# We run to cover our heads
0:18:01 > 0:18:05# When no-one can see
0:18:15 > 0:18:20# You've been a long time coming
0:18:23 > 0:18:26# Yes, you have
0:18:29 > 0:18:31# Yes, you have
0:18:34 > 0:18:37# Will you take my hand?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42# Down the back streets
0:18:46 > 0:18:49# Lovers are watching
0:18:51 > 0:18:54# The leaves drip dry
0:19:04 > 0:19:07# Catalonian love song
0:19:14 > 0:19:18# Catalonian love song. #
0:19:38 > 0:19:42# Prima donna girl, yeah

0:19:55 > 0:19:58# You say that I'm kind of difficult
0:19:58 > 0:20:03# But it's always someone else's fault
0:20:03 > 0:20:07# Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
0:20:07 > 0:20:10# You can count on me to misbehave
0:20:10 > 0:20:15# Prima donna girl, would you do anything for me?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19# Buy a big diamond ring for me?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23# Would you get down on your knees for me?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27# Pop that pretty question right now, baby,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31# Beauty queen on a silver screen
0:20:31 > 0:20:35# Living life like I'm in a dream
0:20:35 > 0:20:38# I know I've got a big ego
0:20:38 > 0:20:43# I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though
0:20:43 > 0:20:47# And I'm sad to the core, core, core,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51# Every day is a chore, chore, chore
0:20:51 > 0:20:55# When you give, I want more, more, more

0:21:25 > 0:21:30# You can count on me to misbehave, Prima donna girl
0:21:30 > 0:21:33# Fill the void up with celluloid
0:21:34 > 0:21:37# Take a picture, I'm with the boys
0:21:37 > 0:21:41# Get what I want, cos I asked for it
0:21:41 > 0:21:45# Not because I'm really that deserving of it,
0:21:45 > 0:21:49# Living life like I'm in a play
0:21:49 > 0:21:53# In the limelight, I want to stay
0:21:53 > 0:21:57# Yeah, I know I've got a big ego
0:21:57 > 0:22:01# I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though
0:22:01 > 0:22:05# Going up, going, down, down, down
0:22:05 > 0:22:08# Anything for the crown, crown, crown
0:22:08 > 0:22:12# When the light's dimming down, down, down,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15# I spin around
0:22:15 > 0:22:20# Cos I'm a prima donna girl, yeah
0:22:20 > 0:22:24# All I ever wanted was the world

0:23:30 > 0:23:35# Primadonna girl. #
0:23:35 > 0:23:40APPLAUSE
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Would you be honest with people when they ask you
0:23:43 > 0:23:46if it is about them, or who's that song about, what's it about?
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- Have you ever lied?- Yeah.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Massively!
0:23:53 > 0:23:59Sometimes it's, kind of not fair on people in terms of...
0:23:59 > 0:24:03If it was 400 years ago and I was writing some folk song
0:24:03 > 0:24:06about a guy, it would be fine
0:24:06 > 0:24:10but nowadays your reach is so huge that things become public
0:24:10 > 0:24:13very quickly and I would hate for people
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- to know who my songs were about. - When the feeling is gone
0:24:16 > 0:24:22under the machine, as it were, do you then filter it,
0:24:22 > 0:24:26so it doesn't hurt so much when it's coming out or do you just go for it?
0:24:26 > 0:24:32Um, it's funny that you say that because I would usually say no,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I don't censor things, but
0:24:35 > 0:24:37it depends how much you care about someone
0:24:37 > 0:24:41and how long after the fact it is you know, like,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43if you're broken up with someone because, generally speaking,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I don't really write songs when I'm feeling really emotional or sad
0:24:47 > 0:24:50or angry, it's usually after I've had time to reflect on it,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54sometimes it's like three or four months after something's happened.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I can never write at the time. Ever.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Really?- No.- So, it just ferments?
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Yeah. It's kind of like, it's weird because the way we see music,
0:25:05 > 0:25:12at least I do in the pop industry, it's like you see songs as products,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15or you come to see them as products, but really I write because it
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- helps me work things out in my own head.- Yeah, yeah, very much so.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22So if I never had any success from this I would still do it
0:25:22 > 0:25:23because it's like, you know,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25everyone expresses themselves differently
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and some people ring a friend when they have a problem
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- whereas I write it in a notepad! - SHE LAUGHS
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Right, write it in a notepad.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Yeah, I don't really speak about stuff like that with people.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37And do you ever find those notepads then,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40the ones that you haven't chucked, and say, "What was I on?"
0:25:40 > 0:25:41It's embarrassing.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Or someone else finds them, that's even more embarrassing!
0:25:44 > 0:25:49No, I have actually started burning them because if I...
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Touch wood, but if I ever got burgled,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I wouldn't want anyone to find these
0:25:54 > 0:25:56so I just get rid of them and then you know they're gone.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I think that's very wise,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and there's great healing to be had in burning things.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07And that's almost us for another week.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Next week's musical merry-go-round we will be joined
0:26:10 > 0:26:14by Savages, Katharine Philippa and Little Bear here in Derry.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Villagers will be appearing in Dingle and in London.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Where they'll also be joined by Little Bear and Laura Mvula.
