I played Piano Man with Billy many, many, many, many times. Security, security. And I couldn't play it on my own. Security. Oh my God. That is crazy.
There's a song at the end of the album which is my solo song. Brandy has a solo song at the end of the side one about her daughter, her eldest daughter growing up and leaving. Tell her about it. It's just a beautiful song.
God, that sounds like a long marriage. I wrote a song at the end of the album, and I just get the lyrics, and I'm just two Bernice Taubin lyrics called When This Old World Is Done With Me. And so I'm writing the verse, like, oh, this is really pretty. And then I get to the chorus, and of course it's about my death.
And when you get to my age, which is near 100, you think, how much time have I got left? And you've got children, you've got a wonderful husband. You just think about mortality. And so when I got to the chorus, I just broke down for 45 minutes. And it all unfilmed. Cried hard. Oh, wow.
And he went into a real moment of... And she came over and she said, don't worry, you've got at least another six months.
And this is, believe me, this is one of my biggest accomplishments. Yeah, well, we cannot wait to listen to it.
It's great. I don't listen to my stuff very often. I don't listen to the radio very often. But when you're in an elevator and you think, what the fuck is that? And it's Daniel, you feel very proud. Yeah.
You know, I don't listen to my stuff, but I'm very proud of what we've written, and I love to hear it, as long as it's not being played by myself. But it's, yeah, I've done so much in my life, and yeah, there's so much more to do. And she's inspired me to go ahead with this record, and I think this is the best record I've made in 40 years, so there you go. Oh, wow. I love that.
Over than that.
No, over than that.
My goodness. Because I was in Vegas.
We have a house in Nice in the south of France, and Brian, Catherine, and the girls come down every summer, and we have the time of our lives.
Kids love each other. Kids really do. I mean, my boys are a little older than Brandy's girls, but my boys are really good with children. And Zachary's not here at the moment. He's at school, but Elijah's here. And he just loves playing with the girls. There's no problem with that. They get on like a house on fire. And Brandy's girls, Brandy and Catherine's girls, I should say, are absolute angels.
I mean, they're just beautiful girls. Yeah, I love that.
Yeah. Thank you.
No, there was lots of songs on that album. Japanese Hands and stuff like that.
I love all those songs. There were lots of deep cuts. I mean, I've had a lot of hit singles, but probably the best songs are the deep cuts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I never imagined myself as a solo artist. When I was in my group Bluesology, big risk of going up to Liberty Records saying, I want to write songs, I'm so fed up with playing in a band that doesn't want to go anywhere, and I can sing too. And so the guy, as you know, because it's an old story, gave me the envelope with Burner's lyrics in it.
And then when we wrote songs, I had to go out and nothing was happening with me. I had to go out and play them live, so I had to form a band. And I really didn't have any visions of being Elton John's superstar. It just happened very, very quickly. And so it was so exciting, because I came to America, and there was Neil Diamond introducing me. There was Brian Wilson. There was Linda Ronstadt.
