Julia Stone sits down for an intimate conversation about music, family, success, grief and her extraordinary creative relationship with her brother, Angus.

She looks back on the story behind “Big Jet Plane”, the years of ups and downs, and what happened when she and Angus stepped away from their shared project. She reveals how Rick Rubin helped bring them back into the studio, the unexpected Paris encounter that reunited them, and why their connection has endured for more than two decades.

Julia also opens up about the pressures behind making music, the lessons she learned from St. Vincent, and why suffering and grief can be essential to understanding others.

From Karaoke Bar, “The Cherry Farm” and the meaning of loss, to the way “Big Jet Plane” became the soundtrack to other people's lives, this is a deeply personal conversation about why music connects us.
