. in the waiting line

L I L Y I have to lose my concept of privacy for about the next 9 months starting now so, diving in! You'll have to keep them, I'm a terrible multitasker sometimes I'll just start reading it aloud as I type through the mic. I just bought, so the only thing I'm looking for currently is the perfect Eames chair unfortunately. But you're welcome to go dwell there while I'm away.

S Y L V I E Oh god my heart goes out to you. A good white noise playlist always helped me. Haha don't worry, my job, your job is to be your sparkling self ✨ Congrats, I bet it's stunning! So sweet of you, it's the isolation I'm worried about, I've never lived alone. How do you like it?

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y I couldn't imagine doing this if I was in a group, no offense. That had to have been so many people on top of each other. Well I prefer my own peace and quiet, so probably enjoy it much more than you would! Guess that means Jack just has to stay over more often 🤷🏻‍♀️

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L V I E Now imagine you're in a group with 2 demon spawns from hell. Aren't you ever scared? Oh for sure.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y When you're the most miserable is often when the fans loves you most. Sometimes a tree hits the window now and again but no, I like a lot of solitude! Could he come to dinner or do you think he'd be disturbed by the girl talk?

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L V I E That's incredibly true. Have you always been that way or is it something you've grown into? Oh definitely, he's not phased by girl talk one bit. I'll get him along.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y It's also when your stuff is the best, unfortunately. I bet the residuals are the best on your album you hate the most. I think I moreso grew into it - when I was younger I needed people around and a lot of things going on. Now a lot have things have changed, obviously, and I don't have a lot of time to myself so I take as much as I can. I can only write alone too, so. And good, we'll swear him to secrecy.

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L V I E Girly pop is just it's own thing... I don't love or hate any of those albums, in all honesty. Maybe some songs here and there. Your discography is a lot more respectable than mine! True, tour buses will have you craving solitude. Oh really, you aren't a collaborative writer?

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Interesting. Is there anything you wish song-wise you could have put out that you had no say in? Actually don't answer that, save it for the pod. Love to hate them! And no, not really. I kind of treat it like writing a book - get through first drafts, asks for edits/feedback, go back through and refine, send notes to my producer, studio! And obviously things transform from there, too.

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L V I E You know it. Interesting, sounds like a more drawn out process than I ever did, but then we were beholden to a million producers.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y That contract had to have been ugly.

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L V I E The ugliest. But oh well, price you pay, right? Making deals with the devil.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Still rare to see someone get out of it, you're a little world wonder. How's podcasting, comparatively? More creative freedom?

[sylvia constantinou]

S Y L V I E Not scot free! Oh the most. You'll see, maybe you'll want a career change.. I think we could have a third host.

[lily mccarthy]

L I L Y Worth it, though? I could never keep up with your humor and how quick you both move, but am excited to see you all in action. And all the clickbait TikToks.
