Lukas Graham I Full Interview

like this all the time like it was broken and I left. I remember we got on the bus and I couldn't fall asleep. I couldn't calm down. I just wanted to know these kids the way I wanted to.do something but you can't you don't like it I love Michael Jackson's song Heal the World make it a better place but you have to start in your old home, you start, you have to start by healing your own family and then what we What I do on stage is spread all this love and it's great, but sometimes it's a little hard to have that like me.

Obviously I have this little cord that I can connect to other people's hearts and it's not just them that feel what I say. Come back again, you know what I mean, yeah, that's amazing, it's empathy, right, it's a little bit of empathy, but it's also understanding your history, also as a sociopath, but I don't think that's the case. I think that story and that child is able to listen to that song and change his life and look at his mother in a different way. Show the power of music and show the healing power of what your lyrics and what your story can bring to another person because art is in the eyes. of the spectator, oh yes, totally, music is art, music is of the spectator, if every Olympic discipline was like music, oh, okay, then Sack ran the 800 meters faster, yes, but Magnus ran them more beauti

y , but L Stick will get the gold medal because he has the support of the public, yeah, I mean, it's so like if you don't like it, you can't, you can't win, no, there's no winner, yeah, but no, but It's funny, it's funny when you look at it like that. but maybe there is a winner because maybe in that moment you brought healing to this child, you gave him understanding.

Well, at the end of the day, happiness is about enjoying less and less, not needing more and more, as well as I I I Hold. In To those little stories instead of the comment on Instagram about oh you look fat in that shirt and you're like, thanks man, thanks because I'm not really trying to look ripped, which makes all of this worth it to you, is it is that the moment? I think it's that moment right before and right after we go on stage because being on stage feels like an hour and a million years, but it also feels like we have these little ones like we snuggle before we go on stage like the silence before of the storm. but it's hard to say what the timing is, I don't know, I mean, we are exporting to the United States, yes, that's what we dream of as children, yes, how is it possible that you guys stay so far away from the media if you agree tour and you're out, you're doing all these things right, we just don't do a lot of

interview

s, there you go, it's fine and when you do them, they have impact and they're great, we like to talk about it. music and we like to play music and we like to touch people not in an inappropriate way Zach I was hoping I was hoping I don't know at home um they're starting to get really, really upset with us because we're talking to Americans.

The media is not the Danish media, but it's like we don't need to talk to the Danish media because if they know you there and the Internet is an incredible thing, everyone is connected and I do one big

interview

with one newspaper a year, my mom's newspaper . she says: I do a big cold piece every year and it's like America is so much bigger, you have to do interviews, you have to go out and talk to the people who are playing your music on the radio because there are so many people. in this country and if we want people to listen to our songs we are going to have to tell our story, I mean, nobody, no, if I'm not fighting for us, who is going to fight for us, nobody, nobody, exactly, how do you you see?

Looking forward to 2017, well first of all, the rest of our US tour could be huge, our first big European tour. It's nice, a lot of things to look forward to, a lot of things, well, I have, I have, I have, I have to celebrate a year's birthday. For my daughter that's going to be fun, well it's me, I don't know, they know, they know they have a birthday, I mean, I don't know, maybe, but you'll want the photo, there will have to be a cupcake or a cake with a sailing and stuff like that, you'll have to document it, but yeah, new songs, we definitely have a ton of new songs already and we have some time booked in fall 20 2017 to get started. writing more music and I've never been more excited for a new set of songs because your music obviously follows your life and I'm excited to hear how the birth of your child and everything influences it, I promise it wouldn't be an album

full

of songs from crib about me, that would be amazing, I actually hate it, but I think you're going to see a very interesting life, you have a very interesting life and I really want to hear it. your music, seriously, it's a little different, different universes, being a father and obviously living with these guys and being on tour and partying and still having a constantly evolving musical career, well, it's also just that we were at home, it was on paternity leave and I went to the kiosk to buy some apples for my darling at home, she was eating a lot of apples and we had this, the baby was just born, um, I don't know if he is a week old or too old and I go out, there are all these cops and I realize my son just got shot, so all these things happen, like luckily he just got shot in the leg and just getting shot is a big deal, but luckily, I mean, all of these are H stuff happening so I'm definitely going to like This Thread of the Criminal Mind songs will definitely continue because I've got my boys and my boys at home still doing a lot of dirt and I've got my whole big family and I've got my wonderful band and it's like there's all these ups and downs and you feel like you've left those friends behind oh yeah that hurts oh yeah how often do you think about it?

I think of it like you get a text every now and then from a guy or you get a phone call from a number I don't know and it's one of the guys who got a cell phone smuggled into the prison called call me it's like oh how do you goes to the United States and you wonder how you are doing in prison? It's a harsh reality, but it's a reality, yes, for many people there is a divide between where they are from and where they are going and how do you feel like you play a role in where they are going?

I don't know, it's like I like it. I get the biggest praise from my criminal friends, those are the guys like, hey, hearing your songs on the radio really meant something. I like it and you know it's true, well, it gives them hope, yeah, well, they're listening to someone they know, who survived, who's doing something with his life and that's what we have to end. I have one more quick question. I know they are enveloping us, but how difficult it is for you to free yourself and look again that you are not there. Video with lyrics, just watching your dad disappear in every photo.

Yeah, that was really awkward. That was one of those moments where I sent it to my mom. and my sisters just to confirm that we were allowed to use this lyric video because I prefer to be too personal and get the message across rather than trying to hide behind an artsy music video just because at the end of the day. The reason people listen to our songs is because they are real and the reason there is a lot of music today that I don't listen to is because at least it doesn't feel real, even though it might be to others. those who do that like what I'm doing is for me, um, but yeah, that was, um, it was hard and I never look at it.

Wow, Lucas Graham, you're not there as a current single, I hope. In a few days we will receive good news about the Grammys. If I send you the round, that's done. I appreciate you cursing him. Now they don't nominate us. I'm knocking on wood here, plastic, what is this Denmark thing, we say. 7913 what's that that's not gun wood 7913 7913 s Lucas Graham always the greatest honor in the world the best conversations I thank you once again for making my mom feel like a million dollars the other night and we can always have a follow up to this little conversation in February when we return for Grammy week nomination or non-nomination.

I would love nothing more. Luke Graham. Everyone, resign. Okay, we'll bring instruments next time, yeah, sure, ah.
