0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:05 > 0:00:09It's an adventure, isn't it? We're all here, we're going to take a risk and enjoy it.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13# Walking round the room singing Stormy Weather... #

0:00:13 > 0:00:16I think a lot of the trick is not to get precious.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20If you sit guarding your music and then somebody starts playing

0:00:20 > 0:00:21and you glare at them,

0:00:21 > 0:00:24It sort of ruins the whole idea of the show, doesn't it?

0:00:24 > 0:00:26- It could be interesting. - Yeah.- Could be.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Sweet Carolina... #

0:00:28 > 0:00:33'I have to make a conscious decision to not write songs

0:00:33 > 0:00:35'or I would write'

0:00:35 > 0:00:37five songs a day for the rest of my life.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39'I have moments like that.'

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Where it just flows, but then I have long moments

0:00:41 > 0:00:43where I'm just gathering.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45'Was it Oscar Wilde, who when asked'

0:00:45 > 0:00:48what he'd been doing that day, said, "Oh, this morning I added a comma.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50"This afternoon I took it away."

0:00:50 > 0:00:52# Weak enough to crawl... #

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Both you cats write these classic, like, red oak tree

0:00:56 > 0:00:59type tunes, you know?

0:00:59 > 0:01:03These un-fellable tunes. I'm happy to, like, write the leaves.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10I don't look at a night like tonight as competitive.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13I look at a night like tonight as collaborative.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16There's a joy of being able to collaborate.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18It's a wonderful opportunity for me,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20to steal the best bits I hear tonight for my own songs

0:01:20 > 0:01:23that I'll write tomorrow morning.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Send them to us, they'll be on YouTube by tomorrow night.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28APPLAUSE

0:01:40 > 0:01:43That's very encouraging, thank you.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Good evening.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51It's my job to lead off, so I will do just that.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05# Tell me all the things you would change

0:02:05 > 0:02:07# I don't pretend to know what you want

0:02:09 > 0:02:13# When you come around and spin my top

0:02:13 > 0:02:17# Time and again, time and again

0:02:18 > 0:02:23# No fire where I lit my spark

0:02:23 > 0:02:26# I am not afraid of the dark

0:02:27 > 0:02:31# Where your words devour my heart

0:02:31 > 0:02:36# And put me to shame put me to shame

0:02:36 > 0:02:40# When your seven worlds collide

0:02:40 > 0:02:44# Whenever I am by your side

0:02:45 > 0:02:49# And dust from a distant sun

0:02:49 > 0:02:55# Will shower over everyone

0:03:00 > 0:03:04# You're still so young to travel so far

0:03:04 > 0:03:09# Old enough to know who you are

0:03:09 > 0:03:12# Wise enough to carry the scars

0:03:12 > 0:03:17# Without any blame there's no one to blame

0:03:17 > 0:03:21# It's easy to forget what you learned

0:03:21 > 0:03:26# Waiting for the thrill to return

0:03:26 > 0:03:30# Feeling your desire burn

0:03:30 > 0:03:31# You're drawn to the flame

0:03:31 > 0:03:37# When your seven worlds collide

0:03:37 > 0:03:41# Whenever I am by your side

0:03:41 > 0:03:45# And dust from a distant sun

0:03:45 > 0:03:50# Will shower over everyone

0:03:50 > 0:03:54# Dust from a distant sun

0:03:54 > 0:03:57# Will shower over everyone

0:03:57 > 0:04:01# And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood

0:04:01 > 0:04:05# Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above

0:04:05 > 0:04:09# I don't pretend to know what you want

0:04:09 > 0:04:14# But I offer love

0:04:27 > 0:04:31# Seven worlds will collide

0:04:31 > 0:04:35# Whenever I am by your side

0:04:35 > 0:04:40# And dust from a distant sun

0:04:40 > 0:04:47# Will shower over everyone

0:04:47 > 0:04:49# Yeah

0:04:51 > 0:04:58# As time comes rolling down your neck

0:04:59 > 0:05:04# Like a tiny bead of sweat

0:05:04 > 0:05:09# And you end up getting wet

0:05:09 > 0:05:13# Let your mind go, let your mind go

0:05:13 > 0:05:15# Anywhere it wants

0:05:17 > 0:05:20# And I fell asleep

0:05:22 > 0:05:25# As the dust laid on the ground. #

0:05:28 > 0:05:29APPLAUSE

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Thank you.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49The joy of a night like tonight, as we were just saying backstage,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51is you've got three completely different writers.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54And rather than try to imitate each other,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57we're just going to do what we do best.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09# I learned the truth at seventeen

0:06:09 > 0:06:14# That love was meant for beauty queens

0:06:14 > 0:06:19# And high school girls with clear skinned smiles

0:06:19 > 0:06:22# Who married young and then retired

0:06:26 > 0:06:30# The Valentines I never knew

0:06:30 > 0:06:35# The Friday night charades of youth

0:06:35 > 0:06:39# Were spent on one more beautiful

0:06:39 > 0:06:43# At seventeen I learned the truth

0:06:46 > 0:06:52# And those of us with ravaged faces

0:06:52 > 0:06:55# Lacking in the social graces

0:06:55 > 0:07:00# Desperately remained at home

0:07:00 > 0:07:03# Inventing lovers on the phone

0:07:03 > 0:07:08# Who called to say come dance with me

0:07:08 > 0:07:13# And murmur vague obscenities

0:07:13 > 0:07:17# It isn't all it seems at seventeen

0:07:20 > 0:07:25# A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs

0:07:25 > 0:07:29# Whose name I never could pronounce

0:07:29 > 0:07:33# Said pity, please the ones who serve

0:07:33 > 0:07:37# Cos they only get what they deserve

0:07:41 > 0:07:45# The rich-relationed home-town queen

0:07:45 > 0:07:50# Marries into what she needs

0:07:50 > 0:07:54# With a guarantee of company

0:07:54 > 0:07:59# And a haven for the elderly

0:08:01 > 0:08:06# Remember those who win the game

0:08:06 > 0:08:10# Lose the love they sought to gain

0:08:10 > 0:08:14# In debentures of quality

0:08:14 > 0:08:18# And dubious integrity

0:08:18 > 0:08:25# Their small town eyes will gape at you in dull surprise

0:08:25 > 0:08:31# When payment due exceeds accounts received at seventeen

0:08:43 > 0:08:47# To those of us who knew the pain

0:08:47 > 0:08:53# Of Valentines that never came

0:08:53 > 0:08:57# And those whose names were never called

0:08:57 > 0:09:00# When choosing sides for basketball

0:09:04 > 0:09:09# It was long ago and far away

0:09:09 > 0:09:14# The world was younger than today

0:09:14 > 0:09:18# And dreams were all they gave for free

0:09:18 > 0:09:24# To ugly duckling girls like me

0:09:26 > 0:09:29# We all play the game and when we dare

0:09:29 > 0:09:34# To cheat ourselves at solitaire

0:09:34 > 0:09:38# Inventing lovers on the phone

0:09:38 > 0:09:42# Repenting other lives unknown

0:09:42 > 0:09:48# They call and say come dance with me

0:09:48 > 0:09:52# And murmur vague obscenities

0:09:52 > 0:09:57# At ugly girls like me, at seventeen. #

0:10:07 > 0:10:09APPLAUSE

0:10:25 > 0:10:27GUITAR BEING TUNED

0:10:32 > 0:10:36- This is always the embarrassing part.- Oh, I don't know...

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Well, not for you. Just for me.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- What, hearing Ryan tune? - Yeah, absolutely.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44It's embarrassing for you?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47What do you mean tune? This is my song.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48LAUGHTER

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Fair play. It's just too modern for us.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55And me.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58OK.

0:11:23 > 0:11:28# Rose lived on the south side of town

0:11:28 > 0:11:35# Until her landlord showed up with two 100 bills

0:11:35 > 0:11:39# A notice of eviction in the other hand

0:11:40 > 0:11:44# Now she don't live there no more

0:11:44 > 0:11:47# And everyone thinks he drowned

0:11:52 > 0:11:57# Well, I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains

0:11:58 > 0:12:03# Into a station that was flooded when they opened up the dams

0:12:03 > 0:12:09# And broke their connections to the railway lines

0:12:09 > 0:12:13# So they could blast into the quarry

0:12:13 > 0:12:16# And for every load of granite

0:12:16 > 0:12:19# We got a ton of worry

0:12:23 > 0:12:28# One night at the diner over eggs

0:12:28 > 0:12:32# Over easy, she showed me

0:12:32 > 0:12:35# The length of her legs

0:12:35 > 0:12:41# But that gold-plated cross on her neck, it was real

0:12:41 > 0:12:47# And you don't get that kind of money from pushing meal

0:12:52 > 0:12:57# And I should've told him that she was the one for me

0:12:57 > 0:13:01# But I lied, but I lied

0:13:01 > 0:13:08# To most any drifter whose looking for work is too weird

0:13:08 > 0:13:13# I met your sister and I married her in July

0:13:13 > 0:13:20# But if only to be closer to you, Caroline

0:13:25 > 0:13:31# Percy and I moved down the street

0:13:31 > 0:13:33# Until we lost two pretty girls

0:13:33 > 0:13:37# One was seven, one was three

0:13:37 > 0:13:43# Alderman and Caroline owned the house right up the hill

0:13:43 > 0:13:47# Where we laid those babies down

0:13:47 > 0:13:50# So they could still see our house

0:13:54 > 0:13:59# Suspicion got the best of old Alderman Haint

0:14:00 > 0:14:06# He owned an auto parts store off the interstate

0:14:06 > 0:14:12# But the Lord took him home in July

0:14:12 > 0:14:19# And then Rose spilled the beans on the day that he died

0:14:21 > 0:14:23# That we was in trouble

0:14:23 > 0:14:26# And I should've told him

0:14:26 > 0:14:30# That she was the one for me

0:14:30 > 0:14:33# But I lied, but I lied

0:14:33 > 0:14:37# Tied up to concrete at the bottom of the quarry

0:14:37 > 0:14:43# With a tattoo on his heart that spelled out Caroline

0:14:43 > 0:14:47# He was silent, but his rosary

0:14:47 > 0:14:50# Drifted into the custody

0:14:50 > 0:14:55# Of a sheriff that had just been deputised

0:15:00 > 0:15:05# And I was down at the banquet hall

0:15:05 > 0:15:09# When two guys came up

0:15:09 > 0:15:12# Pretty angry and drunk

0:15:12 > 0:15:17# And I'm still here at the banquet hall

0:15:17 > 0:15:20# At the banquet hall

0:15:20 > 0:15:23# Where the gun went off

0:15:23 > 0:15:28# In the Carolina rain

0:15:29 > 0:15:33# In the Carolina rain

0:15:35 > 0:15:39# In the Carolina rain

0:15:39 > 0:15:44# Mm, Caroline. #

0:16:09 > 0:16:11APPLAUSE

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Thank you.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23That was pretty magnificent.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28I was just making it up.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29LAUGHTER

0:16:29 > 0:16:32I like the first one you did better, but that was good.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36I've heard that before.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42OK, it's back to me because were in a circle.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44I was going to invite you, if you want,

0:16:44 > 0:16:47there's a sweet note on the chorus of this song that goes:

0:16:47 > 0:16:52# Dre-e-e-e-eam. #

0:16:52 > 0:16:56If you want to hit that note, that'll sound pretty cool.

0:16:56 > 0:17:01# Don't dre-e-e-e... #

0:17:01 > 0:17:04How long do I hold that note?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07# When the wo-o-o-orld. #

0:17:07 > 0:17:08- Twice?- It's just dream and world.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10- I need two words.- Twice.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14It happens every chorus. That's the way I write songs.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16LAUGHTER

0:17:17 > 0:17:19All right.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35# There is freedom within

0:17:35 > 0:17:37# There is freedom without

0:17:37 > 0:17:41# Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

0:17:45 > 0:17:48# There's a battle ahead

0:17:48 > 0:17:50# Many battles are lost

0:17:50 > 0:17:52# But you'll never see the end of the road

0:17:52 > 0:17:55# While you're travelling with me

0:17:57 > 0:17:59# Hey now, hey now

0:17:59 > 0:18:03- # Don't dream it's over - Don't dre-e-eam

0:18:03 > 0:18:05# Hey now, hey now

0:18:05 > 0:18:09- # When the world comes in - When the wo-o-o-rld

0:18:09 > 0:18:12# They come, they come

0:18:12 > 0:18:16# To build a wall between us

0:18:16 > 0:18:19# We know they won't win

0:18:22 > 0:18:26# Now I'm towing my car

0:18:26 > 0:18:29# There's a hole in the roof

0:18:29 > 0:18:35# My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof

0:18:35 > 0:18:38# In the paper today

0:18:38 > 0:18:41# Tales of war and of waste

0:18:41 > 0:18:46# But you turn right over to the TV page

0:18:47 > 0:18:50# Hey now, hey now

0:18:50 > 0:18:53- # Don't dream it's over - Don't dre-e-eam

0:18:53 > 0:18:56# Hey now, hey now

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- # When the world comes in - When the wo-o-orld

0:18:59 > 0:19:03# They come, they come

0:19:03 > 0:19:06# To build a wall between us

0:19:06 > 0:19:10# We know they won't win

0:19:38 > 0:19:41# Now I'm walking again

0:19:41 > 0:19:44# To the beat of a drum

0:19:44 > 0:19:47# And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

0:19:51 > 0:19:54# Only shadows ahead

0:19:54 > 0:19:57# Barely cloud in the roof

0:19:57 > 0:20:02# Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

0:20:02 > 0:20:05# Hey now, hey now

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- # Don't dream it's over - Don't dre-e-eam

0:20:09 > 0:20:11# Hey now Hey now

0:20:11 > 0:20:14# When the world comes in

0:20:14 > 0:20:18# They come They come

0:20:18 > 0:20:22# To build a wall between us

0:20:22 > 0:20:25# We know they won't win

0:20:31 > 0:20:36# Don't ever let them win Yeah

0:20:38 > 0:20:42# Don't ever let them win No

0:20:45 > 0:20:48# Hey now Hey now

0:20:48 > 0:20:52# Don't dream...

0:20:58 > 0:21:02# Hey now Hey now

0:21:02 > 0:21:05# Don't dream...

0:21:11 > 0:21:14# Hey now Hey now

0:21:18 > 0:21:20# Hey now Hey now

0:21:24 > 0:21:27# They come They come

0:21:27 > 0:21:31# To build a wall between us

0:21:31 > 0:21:35# Hey now Hey...

0:21:37 > 0:21:39# ..Now. #

0:21:44 > 0:21:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Thank you very much.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08I started when I was really, really young.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13I like to say that I wrote my first song at 12, I was published at 13,

0:22:13 > 0:22:17I made a record at 14, I had a hit at 15 and I was a has-been at 16.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19LAUGHTER

0:22:19 > 0:22:21It's been pretty much all uphill since then.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25My first record in the United States was a song

0:22:25 > 0:22:29about a black boy dating a white girl and it dropped into the chasm

0:22:29 > 0:22:31of the centre of the civil rights movement,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34and it became a real lightning rod for people.

0:22:34 > 0:22:39A radio station in Atlanta was burned to the ground for playing it.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43There was a DJ fired for quoting from it.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47A Boston Globe reporter was threatened and fired

0:22:47 > 0:22:49for writing a piece about it.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51APPLAUSE

0:22:59 > 0:23:04# Come to my door, baby

0:23:04 > 0:23:09# Your face is clean and shining black as night

0:23:09 > 0:23:12# My momma went to answer, you know

0:23:12 > 0:23:16# That you looked so fine

0:23:17 > 0:23:22# Now I could understand the tears and the shame

0:23:22 > 0:23:24# She called you boy

0:23:24 > 0:23:28# Instead of your name

0:23:28 > 0:23:33# When she wouldn't let you inside

0:23:33 > 0:23:40# When she turned and said But, honey, he's not our kind

0:23:43 > 0:23:49# She said I can't see you any more

0:23:49 > 0:23:52# Baby

0:23:52 > 0:23:57# I can't see you any more

0:23:57 > 0:24:03# Walk me down to school, baby

0:24:03 > 0:24:06# Everybody's acting deaf and blind

0:24:06 > 0:24:12# Until they turn and say Why don't you just

0:24:12 > 0:24:16# Stick to your own kind?

0:24:16 > 0:24:22# My teachers all laugh Their smirking stares

0:24:22 > 0:24:26# Are cutting deep down in our affairs

0:24:47 > 0:24:49# Baby

0:24:50 > 0:24:54# I can't see you any more

0:24:55 > 0:25:01# One of these days I'm going to stop my listening

0:26:00 > 0:26:04# Baby. #

0:26:11 > 0:26:13APPLAUSE

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Thank you.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55# I went down to Houston

0:26:55 > 0:26:59# And I stopped in San Antone

0:26:59 > 0:27:05# I passed up the station for the bus

0:27:05 > 0:27:09# I was trying to find me something

0:27:09 > 0:27:12# But I wasn't sure just what

0:27:12 > 0:27:17# And I ended up with pockets full of dust

0:27:19 > 0:27:23# So I went on to Cleveland

0:27:23 > 0:27:26# I ended up insane

0:27:26 > 0:27:30# I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance

0:27:33 > 0:27:39# I was spending money like the way it likes to rain

0:27:39 > 0:27:44# And I ended up with pockets full of cane

0:27:46 > 0:27:52# Oh my sweet Carolina

0:27:55 > 0:27:59# What compels me to go?

0:28:01 > 0:28:06# Oh my sweet disposition

0:28:08 > 0:28:13# May you one day carry me home...

0:28:29 > 0:28:33# ..I ain't never been to Vegas

0:28:33 > 0:28:36# But I've gambled up my life

0:28:36 > 0:28:41# Building newsprint boats I race to sewer mains

0:28:43 > 0:28:46# Was trying to find me something

0:28:46 > 0:28:50# But I wasn't sure just what

0:28:50 > 0:28:54# Funny how they say that some things never change

0:28:57 > 0:29:02# Oh my sweet Carolina

0:29:06 > 0:29:09# What compels me to go?

0:29:11 > 0:29:16# Oh my sweet disposition

0:29:18 > 0:29:23# May you one day carry me home...

0:30:08 > 0:30:11# ..Up here in the city

0:30:11 > 0:30:16# It feels like things are closing in

0:30:16 > 0:30:20# The sunset's just my light bulb burning out

0:30:23 > 0:30:29# I miss Kentucky and I miss my family

0:30:36 > 0:30:42# Oh my sweet Carolina

0:31:31 > 0:31:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:37 > 0:31:38Thanks.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54I've always been a little envious of you guys in America that

0:31:54 > 0:31:58can write songs about such romantic places like Carolina

0:31:58 > 0:32:01and Kentucky and all these great places.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03They all sound great in songs, don't they?

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Yeah, that's why we leave them. - LAUGHTER

0:32:06 > 0:32:09You have to leave when you feel the heartache,

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- then you can write about them. - It's true.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16Well, you have to leave before the people that lived down the street,

0:32:16 > 0:32:19that on the really fast pick-up truck, before they shoot you.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21LAUGHTER

0:32:21 > 0:32:23Leaving places is always a good thing.

0:32:23 > 0:32:29I've actually managed to work my hometown into one song that I wrote.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32- My hometown is Te Awamutu. - Te Awamutu.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36See Janis has got it down, she's a New Zealand aficionado.

0:32:36 > 0:32:41- I studied.- And she can say "fush." - "Fush."

0:32:41 > 0:32:44It sounds like a Norwegian black metal band.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46LAUGHTER

0:32:46 > 0:32:48The name is really cool. Can you put it on a T-shirt?

0:32:48 > 0:32:51We all love Norwegian black metal bands.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Te Awamutu means the meeting of the rivers,

0:32:53 > 0:32:57although there are really only two tiny little streams.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00That's what I've been led to believe anyway, as is the case,

0:33:00 > 0:33:04possibly, in Australia, it could actually mean pile of maggots.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Because when the first settlers arrived,

0:33:06 > 0:33:09the locals were pretty pissed off about having their land stolen

0:33:09 > 0:33:12and they said, "What shall we call this place?"

0:33:12 > 0:33:16"What's your name for it?" In Australia, at least they made up a few pretty doozy names.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19White Man's Shit was one of them, I think,

0:33:19 > 0:33:21was well documented, one of them.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24I don't know if that happened as much in New Zealand.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27Pile Of Maggots could be the name of the first album.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Who's first album?- By that band, that black metal band.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35We're developing a career before we've written any songs for them.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38We should be writing this stuff down for later.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41You could be writing their album right now, Ryan.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43Anyway, this is a song, it's a new song,

0:33:43 > 0:33:47a newish song and I'm playing music, at the moment, with my wife.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50We developed a late calling over a glass of wine,

0:33:50 > 0:33:51after our kids left home.

0:33:51 > 0:33:56It's actually really about figuring out how to let your kids go and keep

0:33:56 > 0:34:00an eye on them at the same time, and just keep a low profile, you know,

0:34:00 > 0:34:01watching out.

0:34:31 > 0:34:36# The right way to breathe

0:34:36 > 0:34:39# Amongst the leaves

0:34:39 > 0:34:43# Always to move

0:34:44 > 0:34:50# And lighting the armour of youth

0:34:50 > 0:34:56# Cos youth are people too...

0:34:59 > 0:35:04# They roar like lions

0:35:06 > 0:35:13# Child-like underneath

0:35:14 > 0:35:19# There lies the need

0:35:19 > 0:35:24# The right way to be

0:35:24 > 0:35:28# Behind the scene

0:35:28 > 0:35:31# Daily to feed

0:35:31 > 0:35:34# And water

0:35:35 > 0:35:39# The flower of youth

0:35:39 > 0:35:43# Cos youth are people too

0:35:43 > 0:35:47# You dance around it

0:35:47 > 0:35:51# The golden child

0:35:51 > 0:35:54# You try to hold it

0:35:54 > 0:35:59# But it slips right out of your arms

0:35:59 > 0:36:04# And a child of many

0:36:04 > 0:36:06# But I won't be led

0:36:06 > 0:36:11# And we end up making a deal

0:36:11 > 0:36:13# And staying away

0:36:14 > 0:36:18# Just awake...

0:36:30 > 0:36:33# Oh-oh-oh

0:36:33 > 0:36:37# Ohhhhh oh-oh-oh-oh

0:36:37 > 0:36:41# Ohhhhh oh-oh-oh

0:36:41 > 0:36:44# Ohhhhh

0:36:47 > 0:36:50# You dance around it

0:36:51 > 0:36:54# The golden child

0:36:55 > 0:36:58# You try to hold it

0:36:58 > 0:37:03# But it slips right out of your arms

0:37:03 > 0:37:06# And it tried to mend me

0:37:07 > 0:37:09# But I won't be led

0:37:11 > 0:37:17# And we end up making a deal to stay awake

0:37:17 > 0:37:20# Just awake. #

0:37:33 > 0:37:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:37:46 > 0:37:51My mother loved jazz and she grew up in the Bronx, in a walk-up tenement,

0:37:51 > 0:37:53and on Friday nights she and my uncle,

0:37:53 > 0:37:58they would creep down the fire escape when my grandmother thought they were sleeping.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00And they would take the elevated train to Harlem

0:38:00 > 0:38:05and they'd dance all night to Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong and all the greats.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09So she loved it when I became known to the jazz ladies

0:38:09 > 0:38:11and I could bring her backstage

0:38:11 > 0:38:15and she would meet Ella and Nina and Sarah.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37# Bright lights and promises

0:38:38 > 0:38:40# Pocketful of dreams

0:39:02 > 0:39:07# Honey, would you sing it just for me?

0:39:11 > 0:39:13# When I was good

0:39:16 > 0:39:19# Then I was bad

0:39:21 > 0:39:27# I never thought I'd end up this way

0:39:29 > 0:39:34# With no dreams to hide me

0:39:34 > 0:39:41# Bright lights to guide me

0:39:41 > 0:39:46# How long does it take to make the grade?

0:48:25 > 0:48:27We were talking, before we came up here,

0:48:27 > 0:48:31about the way we write songs, and Ryan was talking about how...

0:48:31 > 0:48:34Cos we're all secretly envious of the fact

0:48:34 > 0:48:37that Ryan can write lots of songs. Let's be honest.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40I'm 98 years old - I just took a lot of vitamins.

0:48:40 > 0:48:44And I've been working on the songs for so fucking long...

0:48:45 > 0:48:47No, but it's interesting.

0:48:50 > 0:48:54I've got the blank page in front of me, I say, "There's not a musical bone in my body."

0:48:54 > 0:48:57What you just said is a whole total song. What did you say? Like...

0:48:57 > 0:49:00# I go up the stairs

0:49:00 > 0:49:03# There ain't a musical bone in my body

0:49:04 > 0:49:07# But who cares?

0:49:08 > 0:49:11# With not a musical bone in my body... #

0:49:11 > 0:49:13It has got a good ring to it.

0:49:16 > 0:49:17Oh, how about this?

0:49:17 > 0:49:20# Check out the lights behind us

0:49:20 > 0:49:22# It's the same ones

0:49:46 > 0:49:48That's what we do for a living!

0:49:48 > 0:49:51And that wasn't gratuitous use of the F-word, either, was it?

0:49:51 > 0:49:52No, it was necessary.

0:49:52 > 0:49:57That was just to ensure that it wouldn't go on the telecast.

0:49:57 > 0:49:59I feel like the centre of an Oreo.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01LAUGHTER

0:50:01 > 0:50:02You look much better than that.

0:50:02 > 0:50:06That also sounds like a song - I'm really sorry.

0:50:06 > 0:50:10- Well, hey, don't stop now. - That sounds like a White Lion song.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12Like...

0:51:20 > 0:51:22# Of Intergalactic Ninjas

0:51:23 > 0:51:25# And with the other arm

0:51:25 > 0:51:31# I'm battling robotic cheeseburgers that know my name. #

0:51:33 > 0:51:36I don't think this is what they were expecting.

0:51:41 > 0:51:45- I mean, we're just waiting. - I'm ready.

0:51:46 > 0:51:49This is a song called She Will Have Her Way.

0:56:07 > 0:56:09# Leavin' you lie

0:56:09 > 0:56:12# When you waken I'll be gone

0:56:14 > 0:56:17# I would not beg for me

0:56:17 > 0:56:20# As I could not beg for you

0:56:20 > 0:56:23# Though I'd like to be the one to see you through

0:56:28 > 0:56:31# Every step you have taken

0:56:31 > 0:56:35# Disappears with the tide

0:56:35 > 0:56:38# You're torn up and shaken

0:56:38 > 0:56:40# With changing your mind

0:56:40 > 0:56:44# You haven't got the grace to say

0:56:44 > 0:56:46# You'll finally decide

0:56:46 > 0:56:49# And you haven't got the strength

0:56:49 > 0:56:51# To stay to fight

0:56:55 > 0:56:59# Those people who surround you only

0:56:59 > 0:57:02# Want to see you weak enough to crawl

0:57:04 > 0:57:07# They'll lie for you they decide for you

0:57:07 > 0:57:10# And buy up all your rights

0:57:10 > 0:57:12# And all your wrongs

0:57:13 > 0:57:16# And they'll try and stop your singing

0:57:16 > 0:57:19# In the middle of your song

0:57:20 > 0:57:23# They do not want you free

0:57:24 > 0:57:26# They will not make you strong

0:57:26 > 0:57:27# But only

0:57:27 > 0:57:31# Drag you down in the hole they're coming from

0:57:36 > 0:57:38# They say you are foolish

0:57:38 > 0:57:41# For wanting the sun

0:57:43 > 0:57:45# They call you selfish

0:57:45 > 0:57:47# For learning to run

0:57:48 > 0:57:51# They'll tell you that the darkness

0:57:51 > 0:57:54# Is a blessing in disguise

0:57:54 > 0:57:57# You may never have to notice

0:57:57 > 0:58:00# If you're sighted or you're blind

0:58:00 > 0:58:03# They'll do their best to keep you

0:58:31 > 0:58:34# You're more than beginning

0:58:34 > 0:58:37# You're learning to fly

0:58:42 > 0:58:45# Feels like you're falling

0:58:45 > 0:58:48# But it passes in time

0:58:53 > 0:58:56# And I hate to see a friend go down in flames

0:58:56 > 0:58:58# Without a song

0:58:58 > 0:59:01# So I'm waiting by the doorway

0:59:01 > 0:59:05# I will not linger long

0:59:05 > 0:59:09# I will leave you my night

0:59:09 > 0:59:11# I'm leaving alone

0:59:11 > 0:59:14# And I'm leaving you lie

0:59:14 > 0:59:17# When you waken I'll be gone

0:59:18 > 0:59:21# I would not beg for me

0:59:21 > 0:59:23# I could not beg for you
