That's the devil.

Yeah, that's the devil in the song.

Is that Gremlin?

Who's like, more, you must do better.

This person is more successful than you.

I'm Brian Hyatt.

Welcome to the Rolling Stone Studio live at South by Southwest, and I am so excited to be here

with Maya Hawk.

Thank you.

I'm happy to be here with you.

And you have so much going on.

Sort of a little bit, yeah.

You have a new album, and I might screw up the name, so...

It's okay.

You say it. A new album's called Mitrea Corso. The pronunciation of Mitreya is what scares me, but Mitreya Corso, it's a beautiful album. You're also here at South by Southwest with a great new movie, Wishful Thinking. Thank you. Lots of emotions and all this stuff. Yeah, lots of feelings.

I'm a big feelings person, generally, pro feelings, if I had to go one way or the other.

And on the first song of the album of my life, you sing, you know, what if I got what I wanted?

And what if I was who I want to be?

And is there a certain amount of, there's contentment and is there also a little bit

of trepidation in the idea of getting what you wanted?

Well, yeah, I think it's like the nature of, I think like whatever the human machine is that we're all inside of is like, you know, someone on a treadmill chasing a carrot.

And so I think one of the grand questions, at least in my life, is like, we're always wanting things.
