Gatay humans. Welcome to the safe space for dangerous ideas. If you're listening to the podcast

for the first time, you should also check out the YouTube channel. It's always nice to watch

the one and only Keith Urban actually sit there and listen and see the twinkle in his eye and the

smile on his face. And if you're watching the YouTube channel, good for you. You made the right decision.

This is the show where some of the most fascinating people in the world

wrestle with some of the biggest issues in an environment that's free from censorship and political correctness,

where they feel like they don't have to tread on eggshells and worry about the tripwires that they might trigger by saying the wrong thing.

He really needs no introduction, one of the most successful and important musicians in the world.

Keith Urban has won four Grammy Awards.

His new album is called Hi.

It's out now.

He's about to start a new residency in Las Vegas and Tour Australia, Keithurbanban.com for tickets please enjoy as much as I did

the one the only Keith urban so you win you give you one not to work definitely absolutely

I mean I think it's more organic isn't that you must find that when you're on stage and you're

you know what the set list is yeah necessarily want it to be exactly the

same show every single no i i like working with um some kind of structure and then fish tailing

in and around that structure yeah yeah really and how do you determine where to go by feel

yeah what does that mean it means if i'm i'm say that i can read the room yeah that i know

if something feels like okay that's enough of that or this is this is good let's stay in this

moment for a little bit longer and is that a skill you learn or is that instinctive that's a good

question um i think like i think think Forrest Gump's summed it up because I think it's a bit of both. With everything, isn't it? Yeah. It's usually a bit of both. I mean, it's probably the 10,000 hours doesn't hurt. You need the 10,000 hours, I reckon. I think you're going to get them anyway. It's like you can be an artist that, like for me, who played all the clubs,

did my 10,000 hours in the clubs and then got to play larger places bit by bit by bit.
