That song is a bit of an oddball, because obviously it was my first song.
00:05
It's been downhill ever since, because it was my biggest song.
00:09
It's just, it's really difficult to put it into words,
00:13
because it's been part of my kind of DNA of my life,
00:17
but also my family's, a lot of my friends.
00:21
It's sort of been there for most of my life,
00:24
because I'm going to be 60 next year, on my word,
00:27
and it was released when I was 21.
00:28
So it's been there for, like, two-thirds,
00:31
it's been there for pretty much all my adult life,
00:33
and so it's just sort of ingrained in me.
00:35
If you cut me open, it says never going to give you up in the middle.
00:38
And it's like, it's really hard sometimes to put that into any kind of sense.
00:44
I just feel grateful.
00:46
I just feel lucky that I've got a tune that every now and again pops up somewhere,
00:50
therefore we've got a billion streams, you know.
00:53
And again, I think it makes me look at the time that I had my moment when I started,
00:58
and just think, I'm kind of super grateful that I am the age I am,
01:03
and I started in the 80s, because we didn't have social media,
01:06
we didn't even have the internet.
01:07
And I think things were a little bit softer and fuzzier back then.
