hahahaha yea I love how honest she is with herself. Some people are still searching for themselves at a ripe old age, while others don't really think it is important to have something that they enjoy doing. But that short period of silence spent pondering was amusing I must say. You can tell that she thinks a lot into stuff but she still has not found all the answers to them yet.
I think that, in true introvert style, she simply got caught off guard with the question and needed some time to access her long term memory and she wasn't able to in the end. It often happens to me.

Anyway, by the start of the video I was really looking to how Cheryl would interact with Hannah. I love the way she's such a good hostess. I mean... interacting with Hannah seems demanding. And yet here they are getting to the real point of it.
with all do respect. Yes she is a warm gentle soul but since when is it the job of a journalist to suck up to the artist. Where's the critical thinking. It's not your job to literally LOVE the interviewed. Where's the critical thinking
Arne Claes Well, she is hosting them.. it's not a debate or an interview.. it's a platform for introducing to the world an artists or an new album.. it should be positive and supportive.. and more so Aldous communicates in a beautiful and gentle way.. she is not presentative in a common way and for Cheryl to give her the space to just be without covering it up is a great virtue..
What an amazing interview, at one point Cheryl Waters allows her the space to be so weird without interruption, all the while, I'm hanging on every second. Amazing, beautiful, weird music, a rare soul, I'm sold.
@@erfling1 Her hats are admirably large (though hardly her greatest virtue), but you should look up Dakha Brakha-three foot tall black fuzzy wool Hungarian wedding hats, man. And they make music worthy of the hats!!!
It's incredible to witness a person who has self-actualized and grown beyond the typical human experience. Aldous is an amazing person and a great songwriter. I wish there were more people like her in the world.
yea beyond human... not possible there. She can be "serious" with her writing partner, art co-producer or something, so that's the relationship i think is important to you query about how she allows herself to go into a world as an artist and then that partner and band tether her to the realty besides. So i agree that's beyond human but other artists enjoy that departure also.
She's sweet but rough, she looks so wavering as she talks and yet she appears very confident and self-assured as she sings. I had the chance to listen to her in Bologna, Italy on November 15. She was not 'public friendly' at all, she played for about an hour, but I can say it was for me an astounding experience, she is so charismatic without any intention to be, she is shy but her music and texts speak always openly for her. I think she's one of the most interesting songwriters of the decade, she is original and yet classic. I think she's a very deep artist and I look forward to hearing her next pieces.
@@nicolaserafini6590 eravamo a 6 o 7 metri dal palco, a sinistra dove c'è uno scalino di qualche centimetro, si vedeva tutto abbastanza bene tranne la batteria. :)
it's so funny you say that because I was introducing my old man to her and I was playing the first KEXP performance for him and he looked kind of distracted by something, and I was kind of annoyed, because I just thought he should have his full attention on Aldous/Hannah. He told me later that what he was doing was making sure he was REALLY seeing what he thought he was seeing, and what he thought he was seeing was a spider suspended in the air on it's web, dancing to her music, very clearly, dancing to Elation I think it was.
among her hobbies- "sitting in the dark." What do you like to do? "I don't know." I love interviews like this, it's a real conversation- It doesn't feel like the ten thousandth time she's telling an interviewer what she thinks about X. It's a fantastic musical performance, but it's one KEXP set where I almost like the interview even more.
@@jwetenkamp LMAO It's not nuts to feel things... To be aware that one is feeling, to be curious about those inner experiences, and to calmly and securely report on them does not make a person a nut job. These are the building blocks of self-awareness.

@Jen Ship I absolutely love that there are artists like this who do their own thing, and that there’s something for everyone. None of my people understand why I like The Flaming Lips, so I get it. I shouldn’t have been so insensitive in my comment🙂
"I've never heard an Aldous Harding song," Aldous Harding. What a perfect answer. As the creator the way the song sounds and feels to her is entirely different than what it could mean to anyone else. She's got all the background and story to the song, the experience of crafting, trimming, killings bits of it along the way. All of that experience and time spent personally locked up with it to flesh it out? I can well imagine that Aldous Harding has never heard her songs the way her fans hear them, mores the shame. I wish that she could.
Cheryl Waters is amazing as an interviewer... she might be my favourite... so well prepared so humble and not intrusive... we can see she prepares to the interviews according to the artist... congrats @cherylwaters
be so completely yourself that those around you feel safe enough to be themselves too. thats the entire vibe i get from her and why i love her so much like i honestly cant even really express how beautiful it is this was SUCH a treat, thank you.
Cheryl Waters you are the sweetest and most gentle interviewer. Thank you for letting this whole scene be as it is. and not trying to manipulate it to a more “ comfortable “ talk /show ❤️🙏
I looked her up a few months back and instantly fell in love. Luckily a few weeks later I caught a show in LA. INTENSE persona. Songs were FLAWLESS. She really seems to enjoys when people get her clown persona. It's such a relief to see a musician act like an artist where you can also witness the philosophical perspective flow as part of the entire tearing down of and creating reality. Her utter honesty feels eccentric & that's quite a statement as an artist to make- that getting to the root of your own being is so unacceptable. Forever in love w her. Fav song is The World Is Looking For You. Devastating beautiful voice and her variance of execution and evolution as a musician and songwriter is fascinating. Can't wait for more music
This almost 60 yr young rocker has just been completely blown away by these amazing artists this morning... we're hearing someone becoming, realizing herself, and from what I've heard so far, the sky's the limit...
I'm thumbs downing you because this is one of the few times I recommend that people watch the whole video. The interview bits are extra special and not to be missed IMO.
After an Emma Ruth Rundle binge, somehow I stumbled on "The Barrel." Soon after I searched all of Aldous Harding's videos, then listened to Designer and Party repeatedly, and then capped all that off with this live KEXP performance. It hasn't even been 24 hours.
Early on Aldous points, and says, _"He's my favorite."_ Later, Aldous tells the keyboard player, _"You're the best one."_ Aldous has quite the sense of humor.
Just came across this soul for the first time... She is so enchanting and beautifully authentic, such inspiration. Her look makes me want to just hug her for eternities.
I feel so much listening to her. She is inner-outer-worldly if that makes sense. I feel she is enlightened and it shows in her expression. I was going to see her here in California but I can wait. All the more valuable and beautiful. Support out artists and radio stations.
Wow- when asked about her hobbies, the explanation was exactly what I would have said if I didn’t feel the need to say “something interesting” or “something cool”. I’m shook. I thought she was being pretentious but I think she might just be a higher life form.
@@michaelscheltema2101 that's not necessarily a bad thing: I'd rather live without culture and in complete connection to my fellow human being than otherwise. I know, because of the internet there are people like me in Russia, Nepal, Ghana or the US. Culturally, depending on my upbringing, I might despise certain other cultures. With the internet, regardless of my culture I find reasons to bond with others. Like you and me over this beautiful music. I don't care about your color or if your ancestors killed mine. I care to agree it's a miracle the internet brought us this piece of art and we had in common good taste to appreciate it.
Oh Aldous, I've loved you from the moment I saw you at the Tiny Desk. Your features look like my mother who passed away 2/13/14, she would have also loved you so much. Please always create and I hope to see you live one day! If you and the band stop through Southern Oregon on your way to Boise, look me up and I'll show you the greatest coffee/tea places here!
Saw them perform tonight. Very tight band of great musicians. Can't imagine enjoying a live show much more. Feeling so fortunate to have seen them in a small venue.
The smile after her "You're Best One" comment is infectious. The last minute of Damn is one of my favorite music moments of the year. Well Done everyone!!
I have been rooted to my seat, watching and listening to these remarkable artists. Beautiful spellbinding music. Thank you Aldous Harding and your band. Beautiful.
The most captivating performance and interview ever. I adore Aldous Harding's song writing. I listen, and find myself taken away within a torrent of inner feeling's and emotions. I've been lucky enough to see Aldous and her band play live twice. On both occasions I experienced many tingles throughout the performance, which was an absolute joy to me. Many Thanks KEXP and Aldous Harding.
I discovered Aldous Harding two days ago. Until I saw this interview I thought that she may not be of this world. Now I know that she is human, and a genius.
Made me laugh so much the comment about some guy with a camera just goes out and films her in her natural habitat. She is truly a diamond! Love her ways so much.
Cheryl: What are your hobbies, what do you do when you're not on tour writing music? Aldous: This is a fun question because my hobbies, the things that make me feel alive and present and excited and put faith in my in my... you know... I'm very different to the things that I'd actually do so, the things that I do.... and I've watched a lot of films and I eat a lot of food.... and I sit in the dark you know.... and I do that kind of stuff like I'm on my phone. But that's no what I like to do, you know that's just what I do, So.... Cheryl: What do you like to do ? Aldous: I don't know, I don't know ..... Cheryl: That's okay
As a psychotherapist I could spend 3 months deconstructing this text, but somehow I dont feel I would be any clearer. Nor for that matter would Hannah either. And perhaps thats how she sees it playing out.
@@bobbennett3203 I don't think we need to analyse it spending 3 months :) She tries to dig some 'better' hobby than being on her phone, looking at the wall, binge-watching movies out from her mind. I totally understand her. I am a psychotherapist too.
@@h.a.s.42 exactly. She's not being evasive, and knows how she spends her time. Just as most of us spend time reading books or watching TV, it's not terribly interesting to discuss with any depth. If it was an actual conversation, they could go into, 'oh, what are you watching these days?', but there's no time or context for that here. I think it's a function of her refusing to supply pat answers.
Usually people are willing to do a lot of the interpretive work when asked something like "What do you like to do?" or "What do you do?" Ms. H takes it very serioiusly and comes up with "Well, there _is_ no 'What I Like to Do." There's just, what I _do_ ." I'm entranced.
YES! So happy Aldous Harding is playing at KEXP again. Last time I was very angry at the DJ for not asking enough questions; my apologies to that previous DJ. Cheryl Waters did a fantastic job interviewing her, thank you so much; Aldous Harding is such a fascinating performer. :)
This is stunning. And I hadn't noticed before how Aldous and Richard Ashcroft have strikingly similar angular beauty in their facial symmetry and mannerisms.
I feel a weird kind of sad today, a little out of my mind and uncomfortable but I can't put my finger on why. This is really doing the trick for some reason. Cathartic.
Between lunar energy, caffeine sensitivity, radio waves from outer space, perceived slights and gravity, the fact that the mass of us feel stability in our little boats is a daily minor miracle.
Very sympathetic interviewer. I don't think I have ever seen anyone try so earnestly to be honest -with every question they are asked- as Aldous Harding.
It's so amazing to experience how every single sound, and notes, and lyrics in your songs have a deep meaning. It aligns every single particle of my being. Thank you for your art.
What a treat! :) Thank you KEXP for making it possible! Cheryl's voice as soothing as ever, Aldous being honest - bringing the joy each time she sings - together with her amazing band.
Wonder if she means 'big t' Truth. Nobody has a lock on that; something that is TRUE for everybody. You can speak to your own honesty, but that is subject to change, as it should be.
I love the way Cheryl peels back the layers to try and unearth the complexities of Aldous mindset and musical talent.....like most of us, Cheryl has been taken on a musical journey but wants credence to solidify her own dreams on that journey.....if that makes sense, it's how I interpreted the interview. Just found that she is playing in London on 20th May....can't wait.
The music is plain beautiful. Saw her live last year, and that was like top 10 of live gigs I've ever seen. During interviews she gives a hard to pinpoint kind of vibe, but weirdly what she's saying makes total sense when you think about it.
“What do you like to do?” “I don’t know... I don’t know...” “That’s okay” WTF I LOVE BOTH OF THESE WOMEN
the way she said "that's okay" was so comforting
19:02 I came to the comment on this very quote. I love this exchange. So good.
hahahaha yea I love how honest she is with herself. Some people are still searching for themselves at a ripe old age, while others don't really think it is important to have something that they enjoy doing. But that short period of silence spent pondering was amusing I must say. You can tell that she thinks a lot into stuff but she still has not found all the answers to them yet.

very nicely put!

Anyway, by the start of the video I was really looking to how Cheryl would interact with Hannah. I love the way she's such a good hostess. I mean... interacting with Hannah seems demanding. And yet here they are getting to the real point of it.
"I don't know what I like to do"

Cheryl Waters is one of the kindest most courteous interviewers.
She's the best person for this interview.
Adrian Wolmarans indeed!!
She really is. Whenever I see an artist that I really like posted on KEXP, I'm always hoping it was Cheryl Waters who hosted them.

Shout out to the sound engineer at KEXP. Everything is always so perfect.

i think she totally embraced Aldous personality and tried to have a nice conversation with her instead of an interview.
Cheryl Waters, classy hostess🌞
Her songs give me the feeling of laughing and crying at the same time. She’s amazing
That is a great compliment.
“I think to resist any more of myself would be foolish.” Aldous saves me all the time! 🙏

Cheryl: What are your hobbies, what do you do when you're not on tour writing music?
Aldous: This is a fun question because my hobbies, the
things that make me feel alive and present and excited and put faith in my
in my... you know... I'm very different to the things that I'd actually do so, the
things that I do.... and I've watched a lot of films and I eat a lot of food.... and I
sit in the dark you know.... and I do that kind of stuff like I'm on my phone. But
that's no what I like to do, you know that's just what I do, So....
Cheryl: What do you like to do ?
Aldous: I don't know, I don't know
.....
Cheryl: That's okay
As a psychotherapist I could spend 3 months deconstructing this text, but somehow I dont feel I would be any clearer. Nor for that matter would Hannah either. And perhaps thats how she sees it playing out.
That is one of the realest answers I've ever heard.
@@bobbennett3203 I don't think we need to analyse it spending 3 months :) She tries to dig some 'better' hobby than being on her phone, looking at the wall, binge-watching movies out from her mind. I totally understand her. I am a psychotherapist too.
@@h.a.s.42 exactly. She's not being evasive, and knows how she spends her time. Just as most of us spend time reading books or watching TV, it's not terribly interesting to discuss with any depth. If it was an actual conversation, they could go into, 'oh, what are you watching these days?', but there's no time or context for that here. I think it's a function of her refusing to supply pat answers.
Usually people are willing to do a lot of the interpretive work when asked something like "What do you like to do?" or "What do you do?"
Ms. H takes it very serioiusly and comes up with "Well, there _is_ no 'What I Like to Do." There's just, what I _do_ ." I'm entranced.
So glad she played Damn; it's a special song. Love the way it moseys along, whilst being completely gripping at the same time
YES! So happy Aldous Harding is playing at KEXP again.
Last time I was very angry at the DJ for not asking enough questions; my apologies to that previous DJ.
Cheryl Waters did a fantastic job interviewing her, thank you so much; Aldous Harding is such a fascinating performer. :)
This is stunning. And I hadn't noticed before how Aldous and Richard Ashcroft have strikingly similar angular beauty in their facial symmetry and mannerisms.
I wish the YT ads would not show during songs. Else always checking performances in KEXP. The best sound/mix.
RUclips Premium. No ads. I know that's not what you want to hear.
get the Brave browser. Cuts out ALL the ads, its fantastic and free!
I feel a weird kind of sad today, a little out of my mind and uncomfortable but I can't put my finger on why. This is really doing the trick for some reason. Cathartic.
i had the same feeling of this josephine gray
Between lunar energy, caffeine sensitivity, radio waves from outer space, perceived slights and gravity, the fact that the mass of us feel stability in our little boats is a daily minor miracle.
Very sympathetic interviewer.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone try so earnestly to be honest -with every question they are asked- as Aldous Harding.
I can so relate to her. "That's just what I do, not what I like to do. So what do you like to do? I don't know. I don't know."
It's so amazing to experience how every single sound, and notes, and lyrics in your songs have a deep meaning. It aligns every single particle of my being. Thank you for your art.
i like the way she brings her own experience into the conversation and then makes a question from them
What a treat! :) Thank you KEXP for making it possible! Cheryl's voice as soothing as ever, Aldous being honest - bringing the joy each time she sings - together with her amazing band.
Yes, the band did a great job on that tour. I have seen them in cologne and it is much more than a background band.
Her music/poetry is on another level. Such an amazing artist. Pure and powerful.
fascinating person
The best in all the ways that matter.
"It's impossible to speak the truth and be honest" OK MY THERAPIST AND I HAVE A LOT TO TALK ON THE NEXT SESSION
a wise poet once said 'You shouldn't let poets lie to you'
That was a fascinating reply, and you can almost understand how it could be accurate.
@@ulture hehe.
Wonder if she means 'big t' Truth. Nobody has a lock on that; something that is TRUE for everybody. You can speak to your own honesty, but that is subject to change, as it should be.
Her dancing is so enchanting 😍
She used to play open mic nights here in Christchurch, Lyttleton NZ. She has been amazing since day one xx
“I try to take it to people, they try to fight me on things… they lose” LOL Aldous is a gift
Brilliant. Both Aldous and Cheryl.
An amazing, enchanting artist.
Absolutely beautiful and great... It gives me goosebump everytime i listen to it.

19:13 "...I don't know" - she's so genuine - love u Aldous!!
Big shoutout to Kevin Suggs. The sound quality is immaculate.
I love the way Cheryl peels back the layers to try and unearth the complexities of Aldous mindset and musical talent.....like most of us, Cheryl has been taken on a musical journey but wants credence to solidify her own dreams on that journey.....if that makes sense, it's how I interpreted the interview. Just found that she is playing in London on 20th May....can't wait.
Hopefully, she'll be back when all this (gestures) is over.
She’s so weird and cool I just love her❤️
“And I sit in the dark.” That’s my favorite part. So relatable haha.
i love her. true artist.
So much more than I expected. This is just what I need right now.

Oh my gosh, it's my birthday today and this is the best birthday gift ever!! Thank you Hannah and KEXP!!
Happy birthday 🎂🍻🎈🎁
Many Happy returns Jessie....🧚♂️ 🥂
happy belated love🤍
The music is plain beautiful. Saw her live last year, and that was like top 10 of live gigs I've ever seen. During interviews she gives a hard to pinpoint kind of vibe, but weirdly what she's saying makes total sense when you think about it.
