00:30Come around, you know I can't stay.

00:36Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control.

00:44I can feel the paradise before my wounded soul.

00:51Tonight I'm sorry.

00:55Oh, my bad habits lead to less than I am standing alone.

01:01From a season to the same winter I've been alone.

01:05Soon this will be the last time I'm calling you home.

01:09I've got nothing left to lose or use or do.

01:13My bad habits lead to better things than I'm standing alone.

01:52My bad habits lead to better things than I'm standing alone.

02:16Wow!

02:29OK, can everyone take another big deep breath?

02:33Another big deep breath.

02:36You can actually plug into it.

02:38OK, let's go.

02:42It started out to be alright and then it all got me wrong.

02:49I don't believe in love.

02:55My bad habits lead to better things than I'm standing alone.

03:36There's so many jobs in the world.

03:38There's so many jobs.

03:39You can give me any interest that you have.

03:41You just have to work really hard for it.

03:43The thing that I did was I picked people that I admired

03:46and I looked at their work schedules and their touring

03:49and I was like, I'm going to make sure I work harder than them

03:51because they obviously got disappointed by working that hard.

03:53If they're doing 200 shows a year, I'm going to do 300 shows a year

03:56and make sure that I can at least outwork them.

03:59If I can't outdo them in success, I'll outwork them

04:03and then it's all worth it.

04:11Instruments up! Instruments up!

04:15That is perfect. Hands in the air.

04:19I wanted to come up to Scotland because there's been so much fantastic talent

04:33that I've either toured with over the years or worked with over the years

04:37that comes from Scotland and I feel like arts is important everywhere

04:41and not just in major cities in England or major cities in America

04:47and I loved coming here today.

04:49It's so exciting what Tinderbox are doing with the libraries

04:52and seeing all generations of kids getting into it and playing all instruments

04:56not just rock and pop instruments and not just classical instruments.

04:59Everything's fusing together and I think that music is a universal thing.

05:04It's not like this side do this or this side do this.

05:06It's seeing everyone come together, find one talent that they can shine in

05:11and shine as one. It's really cool and I love being back in Scotland.
