About Honestly - Commentary

Honestly, is probably the most different song on this album
And it's partly most theatrical or dramatic
And I usually don't do songs that are that intense, uh, production wise
Like lyrically, I've done that but not with production
And Greg Kirsten did that, and I really wanted him to make it
My whole reference like that, I kept telling him as I want it
'Cause the demo wasn't originally as like radio head
And as, eh, theatrical radio head, as it is now

And uh, I'm highly influenced by people like that, I love Radiohead
They're one of my favourite bands, and I love the intensity factor in their music
And we really pulled from that for the-, the song, Honestly
Eh, speak, musically speaking, and the song is just so killer
It's just like, you know, that's cool, you can judge me
You can love me, you can do whatever you want
But at least do it honestly

Like don't be doing the same thing over the corner
And tell me not to do it, you know that kind of thing
Or, or judge me on a completely different level that, that's not fair
And I think everyone relates to that, and that's why I picked the song
And it's just fun to sing, so, it's a whaler
