- I'm sorry I lied to you last video.
This isn't a song, this is not a song,
it's a different video.
I did want to upload this song today
but for various reasons, I had to postpone it to next week.
So you'll see a song next week,
I'm sorry if I had your hopes up.
I'm also very tired so I'm sorry if that's obvious
and if I look like ass.
I've been pretty stressed about these upcoming shows.
It's very normal I'm sure, like I'm fine don't worry.
I think it's just something I have to get over
with this very first show.
Then once I've done this first show,
and everything's gone fine, then I'll be alright.
But for now, I'm gonna crack this window open
because I'm hot and bothered.
I'm here, I've got my chocolate milk.
(slurping)
I'm gonna answer some questions.
It's not a Q and A, it's an AMA.
Ask me anything, it's completely different.
This first question comes from my good friend Chloe,
"what do you think about him?"
"Just wondering you don't have to respond
if it's too personal".
You know what, I feel close with you guys,
I can share personal things.
I think he's good, I like him.
Next question.
Anna says, "I haven't got a question
but I think you're a cool guy and you music is pretty"
Thank you, next question.
"Is she evil or just misunderstood?"
Dan has answered this question for me,
"She's beautiful inside and out", oh, "inside out".
Yeah she does look a bit inside out.
I don't know if you meant she just looks inside out
but I think she's beautiful inside and out.
Thank you for asking.
"Can I make you an omelette?"
Yeah, Okay, I like a good omelette with like
mushrooms and maybe some like, green onions.
Maybe some, oh some like sliced potatoes.
Mmm that sounds good.
"Do you like this? I painted it for you"
I do, I love it. It looks like either
a skateboard or a band aid.
Either way, I really like it a lot.
"Thoughts on my cat sneezing?"
Oh my goodness gracious.
I like how like, the blur spirals out
from this single point on your cat's head.
"What do you think about this bird?"
Aww, is it in like the vet?
Is it ill?
Does it have a sickness?
I hope it gets well soon.
"Please kiss fig on the forehead for me, thanks"
Okay, one sec.
He was eating a snack.
Fig, Fig, Fig, Fig, Fig.
I need to give you a kiss, mwah.
No Fig I need to give you a kiss.
Okay.
He wasn't in the mood.
"What's my favourite song off lemon boy?".
Oh, I think probably "Green", I like that one.
"What do you think about this boy?"
I think he's handsome.
"Favorite song off of Beerbongs and Bentleys?"
Oh boy, okay I have listened like through it,
I sat there with my headphones and just listened.
I can't really remember which is which.
Oh, they're all so good.
"I don't wear shirts because shirts come out of the closet.
Miss me with that gay shit - black science man."
(awkward noise)
"What's your opinion on my birdie?
His name is Herman and he's the best boy."
Aww, I thought his beak was like a little party hat.
That's a very good boy, I like Herman.
"Pancakes or waffles?"
I'm not really much of a sweet-tooth.
I prefer like savory things, so, my question is,
is there such a thing as potato pancakes?
There's my answer, waffles because there's potato form.
Ah man, I miss potato waffles.
I think about potato waffles like three times a week.
Potato waffles and potato smiley faces.
Next time I'm out and I see them in the freezer section,
I'm gonna get some and I'm gonna hecking make those.
"What's the significance of your teeth falling out/
eating rocks and stones? You mention it
in a lot of your songs."
That feeling of just like, it creates an uncomfortable
feeling, like no one likes eating rocks and stones.
Except maybe that lady who ate like bricks
and she loves the crunch.
- "I just love the crunch."
- It's less of a metaphor and more to kind of
create like a feeling.
The thought of like your teeth falling out
or rocks grinding against your teeth is just uncomfortable,
and it makes you shudder, and if that's something
I wanna put out there in a song, then I'll do it.
"Who is my biggest inspiration?"
I think maybe just in life in general,
I'm inspired a lot by my mum.
She's wonderful and she's been through a lot,
and she's still like so wholesome and happy.
The other day I was at her house,
and like the clouds looked really nice,
and she was like, "Stop. Stop everything.
Look at the clouds."
and we stood there together looking outside at the clouds
and she was just, she had this most beautiful beaming smile
on her face and just like a simple tiny thing like that
makes her smile and it's just like, it makes me smile.
"Worms or good boys?"
Um, it's the same thing, I don't understand.
"What' your favorite food slash desert? By the way,
I do rub my dogs belly so that's..."
(phone beeps)
Oh, be quiet.
Um, my favorite food slash desert, I just love to eat.
I guess my favorite ingredient is either potatoes or tofu
because you can do so many different things with them.
People often get bored by tofu because it's like,
"Oh it doesn't taste like anything."
That's the point, it takes on the taste
of whatever you mix it in.
"Desert?"
I think the best desert I've ever eaten,
is when I went to Simi's house
and she had a cheesecake that her mum made,
and it was the most delicious desert I've ever had.
I miss that cheesecake so much.
"How do you feel about this dog?"
(laughs loudly)
Oh my god.
That's such a beautiful smile.
I love dogs with under-bites that's like, that's the best.
I love him.
"When you record a song, what part do you record first?"
I don't know whether you mean like when I record a song,
for like a youtube video or like a cover,
or if when I record properly for an album.
Recording a song for a youtube video, I like to
record the vocals on the guitar in one.
For a few videos, I haven't done that like if
I've just tried so hard to get it right playing guitar
and singing at the same time,
and I just haven't managed to do it.
I'll just give up and I'll do it
as if I'm just recording for an album.
Ideally, I'd like to get one full take that I like
of me singing and playing guitar.
I'll usually then follow that with a beat,
and then base, and then whatever other instruments.
When I record for like a youtube video,
a lot of it is very kind of improvised,
so there isn't really a structure after
the guitar, voice, bass, and beat.
I just kinda add whatever I feel like
is gonna need to be there.
It's a similar thing when recording for an album,
except I'll record guitar and vocals separately.
I'll start out with guitar then do beat and bass,
and then I'll do the main vocal, so like the melody,
and then I'll add in any other instruments
and then I'll do harmonys for the vocal.
It kind of depends but usually that's how I do it.
"What do you do when you get the sad feels out of nowhere?"
I go to sleep and I ignore it.
"How excited am I for the tour?"
I am very excited.
I'm very tired and I'm also very stressed
and a little bit overwhelmed but,
I am definitely excited.
"How did I meet Simi and Tom and Tom and Mia?"
The first person I met was Turtle Tom,
and then he was friends with Oyster Tom,
so then I met Oyster Tom through Turtle tom,
and then I think I met Mia first through Oyster Tom,
because Mia's in Namon, and then I met Simi,
because Simi's going out with Oyster Tom.
I think that's how it happened.
"Will there ever be a time when you repost your old
privatized slash deleted youtube videos?"
No.
"Of your current posted youtube videos,
which would you most like to delete?"
Oh that's a good question, let's have a look.
Sort by oldest.
Radical puns, that is the one I want down.
I really wanna delete it but everyone loves it.
People love that too much for some reason,
it's really, it's so cringy, it's awful.
A lot of them are cringy, and like I wouldn't want
to watch them again but I don't really care too much
about other people seeing them.
"When will the Kleins ask you to be on
the H3 podcast already?"
Oh, I happen to be wearing -
If Ethan and Hila ever see this, which they probably won't,
um I would love to be on your podcast.
Just hit me up, I go to the US quite often, so.
"Are you thinking of making music long term
or is it just temporary?"
Yeah, I'm gonna do this tour, and then that's it.
My career equals canceled.
Of course it is, this is my life.
I'm sorry, you've got me for a while.
"What are good names for my Silk Worms?"
How many worms do you have?
That's the question I kinda need to know,
but I'll give you a list of some nice names
that I think would suit your wormies
Um, Slimy, Slime Guy, Worm guy, Samson, Snail,
Teresa, squid, Doggie, and um, Charizard.
Yeah, take your pick out of those.
"What's the best drip to sip that's not water?"
Probably any kind of tea, or chocolate milk.
"What's your opinion on this photo?"
I don't really like it that much.
I'd rather I didn't see it.
"What kind of belly button do you have?"
Oh I don't know, lets see.
It an innie.
I know, I have a bit of a belly okay, I'm not a strong boy.
It's okay, I love my body the way it is.
"When I was younger what did I want to be when I grew up?"
I think the first thing I wanted to be, was a writer.
I used to make little books like,
I'd take paper out of the printer and then I'd fold it
and then I'd staple it, just to make a book.
I wouldn't write in it.
I would start stories all the time.
I'd never finish them, but I used to write a lot
and I used to read a lot
and then when I was a bit older, I really wanted to be
a film maker or an actor.
I went to like, an acting club, for a little while
and I was really in to that, but I like, I had anxiety.
I really wanted to be an actor but, at the same time,
I was just so nervous in front of people.
I couldn't get past that.
I mean I guess like, performing on stage is the same
kinda thing, although it feels a lot easier
and it feels a lot more comfortable to me
to sing on stage and play songs, and I guess
I could have got over that acting anxiety
if I'd stuck with it but I was just really put off
by the fact that I was just so scared all the time.
But, I don't know if you saw that I made a music video
for Namon, for Tom's band, and I had a lot of fun with that.
I'd love to do more things like that.
I'm not sure how I could work that into my life currently,
but that's definitely something I never want to stop doing.
"Did this work?"
I don't know what you were trying to do,
but I can't tell, I'm not, I don't think it worked.
"Wat was my favorite cartoon as a child?"
I used to love Cow and Chicken.
Does anyone remember that?
It was like a cow and chicken,
and for some reason they were like siblings,
and they had human parents.
"Am I dumb or am I from a parallel universe
where you remade Hazel into a song called 'Hold me tightly'
on the 16/04/16?"
That literally didn't happen,
I don't know where your from, but I think your lost.
"What I think about feminism?"
Cool and good.
"What was it like taking Figgy out in the garden
for the first time?"
It was so great, he had such a wonderful time.
He was so well behaved.
We were really worried that he was gonna run around,
and escape or something but he was so good,
and I'm so proud of him, and he just walked around
like carefully and sniffed the ground.
He spent a lot of time stepping in the dirt,
which was expected.
He is a Wormie after all.
It was warm for that one single day,
and now its gotten cold again, so I'm looking forward
to when it's nice and sunny again
so we can take him out more
and he can smell some more flowers, and stuff.
"Is there a possibility of us meeting you
after one of your shows?"
There is a 100% possibility.
For all of my shows, for the ones that have
been announced already and also any shows that I ever do,
I'm always gonna be hanging out afterwards,
like by the merch table.
Okay I'm really tired, it's probably obvious.
So I'm gonna go, I'm probably gonna go sleep.
I'm sorry that there was no stream last Sunday,
hopefully there was a stream today.
If not, I'm really sorry again, I'm just,
but yeah, I look forward to seeing everyone next Friday,
it's my first show, I'm scared.
I know there's nothing to be scared of like,
you guys are all wonderful and lovely,
and I'm sure even if I make loads of mistakes,
it's gonna be totally fine and no ones gonna care,
I understand that but I think its just natural to be
nervous for my first headline,
that's been sold out, so it's quite big for me.
Yeah, just know that I'm nervous so I'm sorry if I make
loads of mistakes or I just don't really know
what to say on stage.
It would help me a lot if you guys sang along,
or if you like do a little clap to the beat or something
but yeah, I'm sure its gonna go great I'm really excited.
Thanks for watching, thanks for all your questions
and I'll see you next week.
