00:00You
00:10Make 74 7 it's John Mac backstage west of the fest 2025 Melanie Furman in the house. How are you? I'm great
00:16Yeah, you just got offstage to talk about today's performance. How do you feel? Oh my god. That was so much fun
00:21I'm like such a nervous wreck when it comes to shows
00:24I was literally like this, but the second I get out there I'm like, oh I do love this
00:29So it hits you when you get on stage, it's not like when you get off and you're like, okay sweet relief
00:32It's like the pre anxiety of it and the second I'm up there. I'm like, I love this
00:36Yeah, is it like muscle memory you think it's just cuz you've sang these songs so many times. Absolutely. Yeah, it kicks in
00:41Yeah, how's your Austin experience been so far? What do you think? Have you been here before?
00:46I've never been to Austin never been to Texas in general. It's amazing
00:49I haven't really gotten to explore as much as I would like to maybe a few hours before I have to get on a flight
00:54I'll do some exploring but I love it. It's hot
00:57Yes, you're getting the full test Texas experience today
01:0090 degree weather. Do you own any cowboy hats? Is that something that's I do? Okay, but it's not like a legit one
01:06All right, it's just like from forever 21 or something. I was gonna say was it from like a bachelorette?
01:12I've been wanting to yeah, if you have a few hours
01:14There's a store on South Congress Allen's boots and they also do like cowboy hats like the legit deal there
01:20But they like frame them up for you and everything
01:22I want to talk about
01:24Okay, the single of course, we're playing it here mix 94 70 could hear it on the radio
01:28Talk about the origins of this song and how this song came about and kind of the message of the song
01:32Yeah, absolutely. So I've I've been really open about my struggles with anxiety. I started struggling with that in like 2021 and
01:38You know when you're going through something like that
01:40You really want like a deep connection to something something to grab on to and for me, that's always been music
01:45So I was searching for a song that was gonna get me through that and I couldn't find one
01:51So I decided to write one for myself. And so that's what okay is
01:55it's a song that is basically an anthem to remind you that things are gonna be okay as a light at the end of the
02:00tunnel and
02:01It's been that for me and I I hope that it can be that for someone else
02:05Have you had experiences where fans have kind of reached out to you? I mean like this song means something to me
02:09Yes, it brings me to tears immediately. I've gotten a few DMS that they heard it on the radio
02:13They like pulled over their car to Shazam it and we're like you have no idea like what that meant to me in that moment
02:19I needed that message
02:20That's the power of music, right?
02:22It's like, you know
02:22You never know what somebody's going through and then just like somebody driving in a car
02:25Here's a song and they're like I've connected with this
02:29Literally all I want even if one or two people feel that way like I feel like that's all you can really ask for
02:34Yeah, it's beautiful. What is the next few months look like for you rest of 2025 any goals any aspirations anything on the schedule?
02:42You know after doing this show today and just I've been performing over the last week and I really want to get back out there
02:47I haven't done too many shows
02:49So I think we're gonna have a lot of shows on the roster in Los Angeles or maybe all around
02:53Maybe I'll come back here and do another show
02:56I'm gonna be doing a lot of songwriting. So maybe some new music on the horizon. So we'll see awesome
03:02Finally before I let you get out of here, you're a California girl
03:05So we always have to ask the Cali people in and out versus Whataburger. Have you had both?
03:10That's the real question first. Let's start. Have you had Whataburger? I've never had one
03:13Okay, so this is like you won't be able to weigh in let's talk about in and out
03:17Are you like a pro in-and-out person? I am. Yeah. No, I'm not opposed
03:24Terrible it's like two wonderful things, you know choosing between two great things. I will try it before I leave
03:29Do you have a particular order? I do. I'm slightly embarrassed to say it. Oh, then let's get it. It's a it's a double double
03:39Nothing embarrassing so far at least according to my diet add pickles add chopped chilies animal style fries
03:44Yeah animal style always always it's the only way to do the fries. Oh, yeah, what's going on with the fries there?
03:49I know years. We're like, yeah, they're fresh
03:51Right, you can order them. Well done. You get them a little more crispy. Oh
03:56Yeah
04:00Melody Furman so good to see you. Thank you. Thank you for being here go stream. Okay, listen to it on mix 74 7
04:05Yeah, thank you for having me. We'll talk to you soon
