  Speaker 1: You have been NonStop. Obviously. This year feels like I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: don't want to say you're taking a step back, but
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you're more mindful of like your girl gonna need some time?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Was that super intensive sometime?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent. It has to be It has to
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: be intentional. It has to be like, all right, you
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: can't say yes to everything. It just felt like all
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the opportunities were coming at once, and I feel like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: just now am I starting to kind of like settle
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: into it and feel like I know what I need
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: to say yes to, what I need to say no to,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and what's even just a not a no forever but
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: not right now? You know, I want to make sure
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm present for all of these things that are happening,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and I feel more present right now than I've been
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: in a long time.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It's easier to think no before you ever say it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: out loud. What was the tipping point that made this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: year like nah, no, no, it's now.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I think it was looking up one day and just
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: being like, how did that happen? Or like did that
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: just happen? I feel like at times I haven't been
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: fair to myself. I feel like I thought I was
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: really soaking up those moments and enjoying them and whatever
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you want to call it, but you have to take
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the time and step back and really like have a
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: bird's eye view. I guess you could say of what's
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: happening in your life, not just for me with music,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: but like if you're a new mother or you just
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: got married or whatever that is. I think it's important
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: to take those moments because they pass you by quick.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So what is a moment that you weren't You didn't realize,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but now you look back, you weren't super president that
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you're still going to try and go back and soak
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: up as much as you can.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I think definitely.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: In the beginning of me, like selling tickets to a
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: show's there has been moments where I would be literally
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: on stage and be thinking about what I had to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: do the next day. And then you have to fight
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to get that like get the feeling back, you know
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So fighting to be present, not thinking
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: about what's behind you, what's way in front of you,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: just taking it like breath by breath, moment by moment, and.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I just want to feel at all.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I dig that moving forward, silent, a pause in the background.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So outside of being able to set some time aside
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and be like you know, really blocking time off for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you the same as you would rights are a tour.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: What are things you are looking more forward to work
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: wise now because you've made sure that there's pockets of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Lanny time.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm feeling very creative and it's really Americlean.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah you know what. Yeah, my name is Laney.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't put it past me.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Listen. I've seen these throw up gang side at concerts,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: so I know that was a peace sign. I don't
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: know how.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: That's my gang sign, gangang.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: But as far as the things you're looking forward to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: work wise, now that you more so, now that you've
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: made sure that there's time for you, I.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Think I'm really like in a great headspace of writing
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: right now. I'm not like writing lots and lots like
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I used to. I used to write every day, no
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: matter what. I used to come down to Music Row
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: and write two songs a day. I'd write hundreds of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: songs a year. Starting to realize that quality over quantity,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I think I needed to do that during a time
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: of my life to kind of like get the bad
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: out to get to the good, you know. But now
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: with all my eggs and a bunch of different baskets.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I kind of feel like, Okay, now I just need
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to be making sure that I'm doing whatever it takes
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: to feel grounded and centered.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So whenever I do go into.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: A co write, I can lay it all on the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: line and not be like digging around for something. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: need to be very in touch with my feelings.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Let me go back to you mentioned there's times that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you'd be on stage thinking about the next day or
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: something like that and not present in that moment. Where
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was the breaking point for that for you? Oh my gosh,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: do you remember.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Like what I just I do remember, even like being
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: on the phone with my mama at one point last year,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and I swear I think I had let her talk
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: ten minutes and didn't hear a damn word she said.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And then I thought, oh no, I.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Can't be doing that to the people I love, you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Like it's almost like I was tuning out things just
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to get through whatever I had to get through.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: My mama likes to talk, and she probably was not
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: talking about anything really important, but still I want to listen.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I want I want to be there for my people.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: And so when it starts affecting those kind of things,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: when it's affecting your friendships and your relationships with people,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, I'm not gonna
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: be sitting on the couch with my music career when
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I'm eighty five. It's going to be my people. So
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I got to take care of my people.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That or it's like if I call my mother or
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: my grandma who's my mom's mom. They will if I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: call them and they're like, how are things? And I'm like, oh,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know, if I'm like upset about this or something this,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It'll turn around within two minutes. Well, I could be like, oh,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I just found out that I'm termally ill, and my
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: grandma would be like, well, I got a paper cut
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: open in the mail. How do you think I feel?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Still? That is hilarious.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I'm like, so, I don't go to grandmar with problems anymore,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but I'd let her talk, let her talk. Celebrating another
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: number one. It's on the verge of hitting that where
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you are mentally now with life and career, and I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: can feel more balanced from you than maybe, oh yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I felt in the past. Is this one going to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: be more special than the others? Now?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Because well, I'll tell you. For me, it's going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: be special for a lot of reasons. But I'm like,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: way more excited for the people that I wrote the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: song with. So Aaron Ratier is one of the co writers,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and he just had the big Ella Riley song, so
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: he's had like two hit songs.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Back to back, and the Alice song was his first
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: right with his first Yeah, I remember she had said
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he'd just been here forever.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: He had been here forever.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And then John Deshius, one of my best friends who
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I also wrote four by four by U with, this
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: is his first number one. So it makes me excited
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: when I get to celebrate those things with my buddies,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: it gets me fired up.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: For them.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, and this is what they moved to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: town for this. You know, it was just a dream,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: It was just a thought, and then you start dreaming
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and then you start just like doing the things that
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: it takes to maybe maybe just maybe have something good happen.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: And after years and years of planting no seeds, it's
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: cool for me to watch my buddies.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Just flourish.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I know that I never want to to try and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: pull info out of you that isn't out there yet,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: but I will ask a blanket statement of at some point,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you got new music coming. Anybody who's a fan of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: yours or of country music knows that the wheels are
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: always spinning in your head and the pen is always
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: right in somewhere. So if you could give us a season.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm not asking for an album, but at least
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: maybe a song. And I don't need title, I don't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: need tempo. But like, if someone's a massive Landy Wilson fan,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: they've sat with this album already, it's like, what else,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: what else? What else? Just wait for spring, summer, fall, winter.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what season are we in right now? I'm
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: so confused?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Cold as hell it is right now.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm confused because I was in Mexico yesterday.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, thanks for bringing that back.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Me, by the way, Yeah yeah, yeah, my.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Hands froze to the car door when I went to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: open it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: But I'm glad you guys are so cold.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Just know this, when things start warming up, we're gonna
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: get to warming.
