The latest carpool karaoke has dropped. And it does not disappoint. Billie Eilish plays ukulele, raps a little Justin Bieber and shares a little of her journey as a music artist.
Her mega-success Ocean Eyes was not only recorded when she was 13 but was written, produced and recorded in her bedroom. With her brother.
A beautiful lesson in simplicity, raw talent and parental support. Billie comments that her mother never imposed a bedtime as long as she and her brother were making music. James Cordon cheekily asks "yeah, but what about when you were just mucking around?"
"Making Music is mucking around" Eilish replies in a wonderful reference to the creative power of play. She notes that some of the songs on her first album wouldn't otherwise exist.
It's so easy to take life seriously, to make things work rather than find the play. Maybe we can all learn to embrace our inner 13 year old and muck around a little?
