264.299 - 285.142 Unknown

I mean, honestly, I guess I'll just launch in. Yeah. Yeah. launch me no no it felt like the last two days um I just yeah I was like in a dark mental place but then the second I was flying I sat next to the plane yesterday on this um on the plane yesterday with this girl um who I was like oh my god like she like walked on the plane and I like noticed her and then she sat next to me.

0

285.162 - 294.972 Unknown

I was like, Oh my gosh. And then we had the same exact plane ride where we both watched movies. She watched the one about Jane Mansfield and she was literally like wiping tears. I was like, this is awesome. Yes. And then I love that doc.

0

295.012 - 300.057 Gabby Windey

Okay. I haven't seen it. Oh, you got to watch it. Really? Yeah. It's so iconic. Okay. I love to root for an underdog.

0

300.197 - 305.422 Unknown

Well, yeah. Cause what's her story? She, or like she, I thought she was Marilyn Monroe when I was looking.

0

305.442 - 311.108 Gabby Windey

Yeah. Yeah. That's the underdog to me. Yeah. I'm like, I forget the whole documentary except that she's really hot.

311.088 - 339.089 Gabby Windey

and she died early of what i forget but yeah i feel like she came about the same time as marilyn monroe but she wasn't getting the same parts i wonder why i know i feel like because you can't compete with marilyn monroe i know it's read on the fly swatter we love to see yeah hit that did yes that was it yes she was scalped Yeah, and her and the driver were the only ones, me forgetting, tragic.

339.109 - 340.732 Gabby Windey

It's, like, akin to Princess Diana.

340.972 - 345.038 Unknown

No, because there kept being shots of Mariska Hargitay literally looking at photos and, like, crying.

345.058 - 354.331 Gabby Windey

And I was like, what's this about? Right. I know nothing. No, and I didn't know that Jane Mansfield was Mariska's mom. Yes. I feel like she kept it a secret for a while.

Chapter 4: How does Audrey Hobert balance her creative process with personal life?

409.527 - 415.815 Gabby Windey

I'm literally hitting that. You almost fell off your seat, which I appreciate.

0

416.195 - 421.521 Unknown

Yeah. But all that to say, I'm just happy to be home.

0

421.501 - 441.096 Gabby Windey

yes circle it back yeah yes do you like like to travel or it was like kind of i also like to be home like i never traveled outside of the country before this year i watched your switzerland oh wait was it what was it amsterdam oh yeah amsterdam yes yes yes you watched that yeah i did oh wow um

0

441.38 - 448.392 Unknown

Yeah, I hadn't been outside of the U.S. And it's just because my parents never took us because they were like, if we take you to Paris and you're a kid, you're not going to remember it.

0

448.713 - 448.953 Audrey Hobert

Yeah.

448.974 - 452.019 Unknown

And then at a certain point, I was like, I'm 16. Like, I'll remember.

452.42 - 452.76 Audrey Hobert

Yeah.

453.021 - 470.687 Unknown

But we just never went. And then, yeah, so it's been interesting. But it's all for work, which I'm just – it's so cool. And I had a feeling, like, when I hit – maybe 18 or something, or maybe probably actually 21. I was like, okay, still haven't been out of the country. I don't like really see myself doing it on my own volition.

470.807 - 483.542 Unknown

I feel like at this point, if I'm going, someone else is paying for me to go there. Totally. And then it happened that way. And it's, it's like an interesting way to see the world actually, because you're so tired, but you're also, yeah.

Chapter 5: What role does social media play in Audrey's life and career?

534.336 - 534.836 Audrey Hobert

Love.

0

534.856 - 539.884 Unknown

Yeah, really? Yeah. What is your routine with it? Or like how do you enjoy it best?

0

540.004 - 557.382 Gabby Windey

Totally. Because I was also listening to you on Jake Shane. Yeah. And he was like, I stopped. But I started later. I'm like me already trying to defend myself. I'm like, I can't stop. Yeah. I just can't stop. Yeah. But I do it like – It kind of depends. I go through phases, but right now, nightly.

0
0

559.473 - 560.995 Gabby Windey

Like, so you're in a dark place.

561.355 - 567.241 Unknown

No, that was me. That was me always. But I've, I've learned recently that at night it keeps me up.

567.521 - 567.641 Audrey Hobert

Right.

567.661 - 569.123 Unknown

Like I get wire and I start thinking.

569.363 - 570.004 Audrey Hobert

Yes.

Chapter 6: How has Audrey Hobert's background influenced her music?

661.558 - 664.162 Gabby Windey

I'm like, you just don't know how to read it, you idiot. Yeah.

0

664.682 - 688.163 Unknown

Well, it's kind of true. And I think like I... think the conciseness of my writing I don't I don't really feel like my writing is poetic I feel like it's direct and I'm just I think like it's distilling maybe a large thought down to like one my hope would be down to like one

0

688.548 - 707.788 Unknown

line that sticks with you and hopefully that's every line of the song but like totally yeah it is how do you do that do you have a natural gift um you're like kind of i imagine i was like kind of next question yeah i i i feel i that's very like yeah yeah

0

707.768 - 733.305 Unknown

all song like all songwriters yeah I feel like you have to do that it's everyone so different I think like yeah when I think about movies and TV it's so much less subjective to me than songwriting I feel like many kinds of writing can be so good yeah um But I mean, and also like I've written basically 12 songs. Yeah. And like by myself, like that's it. That's it. Yeah. So who knows?

0

733.365 - 740.693 Unknown

I'm so curious about the future. And like because it's been I finished writing in December of last year. So it's been almost a year.

740.713 - 742.295 Gabby Windey

How long did it take you?

742.475 - 767.054 Unknown

It took me eight months. I wrote it really fast. Yeah. But I don't know. I'm in an interesting place where you – You get so caught up in the other parts of the job. And also for me, I beat myself up a lot about – because I haven't consistently written in that way since I finished writing it, which is sometimes normal and sometimes people get right back to it.

767.074 - 786.965 Unknown

It just, I think, depends on what kind of a writer you are. But because that was my first time, I'm like – I'm definitely dealing with the – oh, I'm so almost – I'm not ready to, it felt like it flowed out of me so well that first time. And you just never know what it's going to be like the second time.

787.226 - 807.851 Gabby Windey

Right. Yeah. Cause your first one was, I mean, you know, this is so good. Oh, thank you. No, really. And like, cause I feel like with people's first albums, I'm not a critic. I'm just talking shit. Like you'll get maybe like one or two bangers and they kind of sound different, but like you're like locked and loaded in your sound. I feel like you know you are. And your storytelling.

Chapter 7: What are Audrey's thoughts on the future of her career?

920.15 - 921.092 Audrey Hobert

Probably. Right.

0

921.272 - 924.058 Unknown

And then you're like, okay, so it's 12 months maybe like, yeah.

0

924.038 - 946.131 Unknown

yeah something like I don't want to I mean if you don't want to share but like like something like 12 months I would not start until month eight right like I just would not I need a big push or like a deadline but that long of a deadline I can't imagine no no it's hard to be like this is actually going to come to fruition when and then like I wrote the proposal a long time ago so now I feel like I'm different but yeah

0

946.111 - 959.206 Gabby Windey

Kind of. So I wrote one essay because now they're on my ass. I'm like, okay, I think I can do this. And this one story, I've told it so many times. So same, it was so easy to write. Not so easy. Because then you get to the big climax.

0

959.226 - 960.708 Unknown

I'm like, fuck! Yeah, here you go.

960.748 - 968.117 Gabby Windey

Yes, right. I'm like, oh my God, I can't mess this up. But the other stories, I'm like, what if it's not as easy? Yeah.

968.537 - 986.714 Unknown

No, that is the fear. And it's also like, it's weird because... I've been able to pull myself out of the feeling weirdly because I know that it's – everyone goes through it. And also that it doesn't change the reality of, like, anything actually.

986.995 - 987.255 Audrey Hobert

Right.

987.455 - 1010.301 Unknown

Feeling like I don't think I'm going to be able to do this or I am scared it's not going to be as good or, you know, whatever. And I am able weirdly sometimes to go – Yes, you will. Like, yes, you will. And having this fear is going to take you out of your life.

Chapter 8: How does Audrey Hobert define success in the music industry?

1140.607 - 1144.373 Unknown

But... Maybe he has, and that's probably so strange.

0

1144.614 - 1154.649 Gabby Windey

But then, yeah, then there was my crush, and then... But that's what Joan Didion says, which is, like, kind of... She's like, as a writer, you have to sell people out.

0

1155.29 - 1172.855 Unknown

Yes. Well, and it's more interesting than a more PR answer, I guess. I mean, like, I just... If you're interested in someone who wrote a song that you like and then you see there's an interview, if they give an answer that's like a non-answer, I guess... Right. I get people who are like really, really, really famous.

0

1173.255 - 1173.556 Audrey Hobert

Yeah.

0

1173.756 - 1178.562 Unknown

You know, who don't feel like putting anyone on blast and people already speculate who the song is about.

1178.842 - 1178.963 Audrey Hobert

Right.

1178.983 - 1182.427 Unknown

But for me, I'm like... Yeah. I'm just trying to get people's attention.

1182.487 - 1183.909 Audrey Hobert

Right. Listen. Yeah.

1183.969 - 1193.983 Unknown

So I'm... I am also... I'm hoping I'm doing it in a respectful enough way where I'm not like, blah, blah, blah.
