Billie Eilish

It was never going to happen, but I was hopeful. And I had this fantasy that I would be in the choir rehearsal room before anyone else got there playing a tune wistfully. Yes. And that she'd come in and it would win her over. This was really concocted. I know it well.

And the only thing in my way was I had to learn. how to sing and play piano.

Small. And so I set about doing that. And I asked my dad, like, I want to learn how to play this song. And he said, okay, there's like four chords in it. And he taught me the four chords. And that took like a week to learn just sort of shapes on piano. And then I said, oh, thanks for teaching me that. I want to learn this other song. And he was like, this other song is the same four chords.

And that completely turned my world upside down. Like the idea that I'd learned all this stuff without trying to learn all this stuff was so thrilling. And pop music is absolutely like that. I don't know if either of you play anything, but there is such commonality in the sort of music underneath the song that if you want to play some song by this artist, you're also learning 600,000 other songs.

But you have a very strange order of events, which is you have written Ocean Eyes for your own band. Yeah. A couple of things happen. I get Logic Pro, the DAW, which is same as Pro Tools or Ableton or something. A software on my computer to record. Start teaching myself how to do it. Go on YouTube to learn. I have one friend, Frank Dana, who's popular at his school. Huge currency at 17.

And it's like, hey, you produce, right? And you're like, well, not really. And he's like, that's fine. Let's do some stuff. What a huge vote of confidence. And the real truth is like neither of us were good at making music at all. But I suddenly was making stuff with him and we're putting it on SoundCloud and his friends are listening to it and telling me I did a good job at producing it.
