ALBUM IN A WHILE BECAUSE THE LAST ALBUM THAT I PUT OUT WAS A RERECORD OF MY
ALBUM "RED," SO THAT HAS SOME SPACE. YOU KNOW, I WROTE THAT STUFF A
A DECADE AGO "FOLKLORE" AND "EVERMORE," I WAS -- IT WAS LIKE STORY TIME.
IT WAS LIKE MYTHOLOGY. LIKE, I'M CREATING A CHARACTER THEY WENT AND DID THIS AND FELT
THIS WAY SO, I'M FEELING LIKE -- I'M FEELING VERY OVERWHELMED BY THE
FANS' LOVE FOR THE RECORD. I'M ALSO FEELING, LIKE, VERY SOFT AND FRAGILE

>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: IS IT TOUGH -- I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO
IT DO YOU JUST GET UP AND GO -- IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR -
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] OR, YOU KNOW, RECORD SOMETHING ON YOUR PHONE OR YOU JOT
SOMETHING DOWN OR LIKE, "THIS IS SOMETHING, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF IT'S GOOD --
I'M BLURTING IT OUT. OR YOU DO GO LIKE, "OH, THIS HAS A GOOD HOOK.
>> I KIND OF DO ALL OF THAT. I LOVE WRITING SONGS, POEMS, STORIES, SCRIPTS
I LOVE WRITING THOSE THINGS BECAUSE THERE'S A PART OF IT THAT I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND
HOW IT COMES TO FRUITION THERE'S SOMETHING SO MYSTERIOUS ABOUT WRITING.
BUT I FOUND THAT THE MORE -- THE MORE I WRITE, THE MORE I KEEP WRITING
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON BUT IN THE LAST SIX OR SEVEN
YEARS, I'VE JUST -- I'VE JUST BEEN CONSTANTLY MAKING THINGS. AND THE MORE THINGS I MAKE, THE
HAPPIER I AM >> Jimmy: YEAH >> SO, I'VE JUST CONTINUED TO
DO IT. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> I'M JUST HAPPY YOU GUYS LIKE
THAT >> Jimmy: NO, WE LOVE IT [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> SO, YEAH, SOME OF THEM -- SOMETIMES IT FEELS COMPLETELY INVOLUNTARY.
SOMETIMES, LIKE, YOUR DAY IS COMPLETELY INTERRUPTED BY A HOOK OR A LYRIC OR JUST
A THING ON PIANO OR YOU KNOW SOMETIMES YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PLACE FOR IT IS GOING TO
BE BUT I JUST AM ALWAYS REACHING FOR MY PHONE AND RECORDING
THINGS >> Jimmy: AND DO YOU KNOW, LIKE, DO YOU KNOW "MASTERMIND"
WAS GOING TO BE THE 13th TRACK >> YEAH, YEAH. >> Jimmy: WOW.
THAT'S META. THAT'S META RIGHT THERE. THAT IS SO "MASTERMIND."
[ LAUGHTER ] >> I THINK OVER THE YEARS MY FANS AND I, WE KIND OF HAVE
A REALLY FUNNY SORT OF -- LIKE, THEY TEASE ME A LOT. AND I ENJOY IT
>> Jimmy: YOU DO, YEAH >> AND ONE OF THE THINGS - [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
ONE OF THE THINGS THEY LIKE TO MAKE FUN OF ME FOR IS THE KIND OF CRYPTIC NEEDING TO PLAN
THINGS OUT AND, LIKE, I THINK WE'VE JUST STOPPED PRETENDING IT'S
ACCIDENTAL AT THIS POINT [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: NO, THAT WAS FUN
NOW IT'S PART OF - >> WE'VE STOPPED >> Jimmy: IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU
SHOULD JUST WRITE LIKE FIVE ALBUMS JUST FOR ONE ALBUM. 'CAUSE YOU'RE LIKE, "NO, THIS
HAS TO MEAN THIS, AND THIS HAS TO --" THE WAY YOU LISTED JUST THE
NAMES OF THE TRACKS WAS SO EXCITING WE WERE FREAKING OUT
>> THANK YOU FOR THINKING THAT WAS EXCITING I WAS HOPING PEOPLE WERE
LIKE - >> Jimmy: I LOVED IT [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
IT WAS SO FUN -- WITH THE BINGO BALLS GOING ON AROUND. >> YEAH, I POSTED VIDEOS ON
TIKTOK OF ME WITH A VINTAGE BINGO CAGE, LIKE WITH THE HANDLE

ME, I GO, "OH, I THINK THAT WILL BE MY FAVORITE SONG." [ LAUGHTER ]
WITHOUT EVEN HEARING THE SONG. >> IT'S SO COOL TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS JUST ME,

>> Jimmy: WOW. >> AND, YOU KNOW, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT
>> Jimmy: I DID NOT KNOW THAT. >> AND NOW THEY DO BUT I LIKE -- I REALLY -- I
LOVE TO MAKE THINGS WITH MY FRIENDS. I LOVE TO WORK WITH MY FRIENDS
I THINK THAT THE EXPERIENCE OF MAKING SOMETHING IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS HOW PROUD YOU ARE
OF IT IN THE END AND I THINK IT REALLY INFORMS HOW PROUD I AM OF SOMETHING.
IF I HAD A REALLY JOYFUL EXPERIENCE MAKING SOMETHING. THIS IS A PRETTY DARK ALBUM,
BUT I'D SAY I HAD MORE FUN MAKING IT THAN ANY ALBUM I'VE EVER MADE.
>> Jimmy: ISN'T THAT INTERESTING? >> IT'S -- BECAUSE I DON'T
THINK THAT ART AND SUFFERING HAVE TO BE HOLDING HANDS - >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> -- ALL THE TIME I THINK YOU CAN -- I THINK YOU CAN WRITE SONGS ABOUT PAIN OR
GRIEF OR SUFFERING OR LOSS OR HARD THINGS THAT YOU GO THROUGH IN LIFE.
SHAME, YOU KNOW, LOVE TO WRITE ABOUT THAT ONE [ LAUGHTER ]
SELF-LOATHING. I COULD GO ON. [ LAUGHTER ]
BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, WITH TIME AND WITH THE MORE ALBUMS I PUT OUT, MAKING ALBUMS AND
MAKING THINGS AND WRITING THINGS FEELS LIKE A WAY TO SORT OF SUCK THE POISON OUT OF
A SNAKEBITE. >> Jimmy: YEAH >> YOU'RE JUST LIKE --
>> Jimmy: GET IT OUT >> -- YOU'RE PUTTING IT IN THE MUSIC, YOU'RE PUTTING IT IN
A SONG AND IT COULD BE THE MOST HARROWING SONG YOU HAVE EVER
HEARD, BUT WE HAD A BLAST MAKING IT. >> Jimmy: GOOD
>> AND WITH "SNOW ON THE BEACH," WHICH FEATURES THE GENIUS LANA DEL REY --
>> Jimmy: YES. [ AUDIENCE REACTS >> YEAH, YOU SHOULD --

RECORD AT HIS PLACE. AND DYLAN WAS JUST HANGING OUT, LIKE, DRINKING WINE WITH US AND
LISTENING TO STUFF AND HE WAS JUST TRYING OUT THE DRUM KIT THERE
HE WASN'T -- HE WASN'T SERIOUS [ LAUGHTER ] BUT WE -- BUT WE WERE --
>> Jimmy: THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS. >> AS I SAID, WE WERE DRINKING
WINE AND SO, WE WERE JUST SORT OF LIKE, "OH, WE HAVEN'T RECORDED
THE DRUMS FOR THIS ONE YET, SEE IF YOU -- SEE IF YOU WANNA." AND HE JUST PLAYED THE DRUMS ON
THE SONG >> Jimmy: IS THAT RIGHT? >> YEAH.
SOMETIMES IT'S -- IT JUST HAPPENS LIKE THAT. >> Jimmy: BUT DID YOU KNOW HIM
BEFORE THE FILM "ALL TOO WELL" >> SO, NO, I DIDN'T. I REACHED OUT TO HIM TO BE IN
THE SHORT FILM FOR "ALL TOO WELL" BECAUSE I HAD ALWAYS REALLY LOVED HIS WORK.
I ALSO FELT LIKE HE SEEMED LIKE A VERY QUICK-WITTED PERSON AND I KNEW THAT --
>> Jimmy: HE'S FUNNY >> I WANTED THE CHARACTER TO BE CHARMING
I WANTED -- I WANTED THAT SORT OF CHARMING, QUICK, CLEVERNESS AND THE CHARISMA TO BE WHY WE
LOVE THE CHARACTER BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLEXITY TO THAT CHARACTER THAT MAKES US
NOT LOVE HIM AS MUCH SO, I WANTED DYLAN TO BRING SOMETHING --
>> Jimmy: HIS LAYERS HIS -- YEAH. >> -- TO THE CHARACTER TO MAKE
US, YOU KNOW, LOVE HIM AND I DO THINK THAT WAS ACHIEVED IN THE SHORT FILM
MEANWHILE, I MEAN, DYLAN AND I BECOME REALLY CLOSE FRIENDS. JACK BECOMES REALLY CLOSE
FRIENDS WITH DYLAN WE ALL START HANGING OUT ALL THE TIME

I MISS IT. I REALLY MISS IT I MISS, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU
WRITE SONGS AND YOU'RE PROUD OF THE SONGS, AND YOU HAVE THE FANS REACTING --
>> Jimmy: YEAH - >> THE MOST POTENT WAY THAT YOU CAN SEE THEM REACT IS WHEN
YOU'RE LOOKING INTO THEIR FACES. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I MISS THAT A LOT. I REALLY MISS THAT -- THAT CONNECTION

AN ACT OF EXTREME HYPERBOLE WITH THE 50 -- I THINK I WAS LIKE, I CAN NAME

FAIRYTALE. AND SO I WAS LIKE, "WHAT IF WE DID A LITTLE TWIST ON
A CINDERELLA STORY AND I COULD CAST MY FRIENDS. YOU KNOW, LIKE, MY BEST
FRIENDS, THE HAIM SISTERS, WHAT IF THEY PLAYED THE STEP-SISTERS
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE AND I WAS LIKE -- AND I WAS LIKE, "WHAT IF WE REALLY SHOOT
