Born in South London, Dan started as a shy teenager, quietly composing music in his bedroom, far from the limelight.

Weird!? Whoa, it is a real contrast for me to hear Dan say he has a "weird voice" when in my opinion he has the most beautiful male voice I have ever heard
I agree. His voice easily portrays deep emotion. Maybe it's weird in the way that instead of just pretty or nice his voice has personality and it is comforting to hear.
Dan is the most humble, kind, talented and overall incredible human being alive 🥺😭 I love him so much
Saw them 16 times live and then suddenly in Germany outside a coffee shop I heard a familiar voice and shouted Dan. And it were Dan and Kyle. They were really nice.
Omg I'm SO envious 🤩
Wow!!!!! 16 times I saw my favorit band Placebo 13 times !!!!!!
This interview sends out the most positive vibes and provides a great role-model for anyone who wants to make it through in music industry. Also, love how his parents supported him when he struggled trying to earn his living while keeping making music at the same time. Made my day.😊
Dan’s so humble… And his VOICE!.. So underrated omfg
its so true that the media/award shows has never been behind them. they have such a big fanbase who all know they deserve much more than they ever get
Bastille are the most lovely, unproblematic and genuine people in the music industry I know
He has such a beautiful voice. It's funny that the most talented people can suffer from the worst dysmorphia.
Dan Smith was my celebrity crush as a teenager😭
He is my favorite human being on the planet!!!!
I just discovered your podcast today. June 14, 2023 and this was the episode in that. As soon as I found out you have a youtube version of that I went here
i’ve been their fan for 10 years now, they’ve literally helped me to develop my personality traits, and i’m the person I am today because of their music, Love em wholeheartedly
Confession : I am a hardcord placebo fan.
Discovered Bastille 6 mounth ago .
Saw them live in Hamburg last week...
Gave me goose bums ...
Second favorit band!!!!!
One thing I ask my self :
Who the f❤😂k needs
Coldplay anymore?????
how did they do that
@@scottchegg828 idk, lyrics of their songs perhaps? music videos? the whole idea behind their music?
@@kaitan5756 Why you getting funny lmao I only asked a question. I also asked "how" not what. How does a music video shape a personality for example?
@@scottchegg828 im mean and annoyed thats why, don't let it get to ya. I answered you, i shaped my personality on their lyrics, music videos, etc,
This is the loveliest interview I've heard! Been a massive fan of Bastille and Dan for years and it's always a huge treat hearing him talk about, well, anything really!! xxx
He's just so real... the way he addresses his dilemmas... It's so good to see someone "non fabricated" putting on good music. Love Bastille!
I love Bastille! I have seen them twice now and they definitely dont disappoint. Dan's voice is a gift to this world.
But who is this CHRIS Martin guy again ?????
I love how the quick questions are not quick at all😭
Excellent interview with the extraordinarily thoughtful and articulate Dan Smith.
I absolutely love this interview. Dan looks the most comfortable I've ever seen him. Love Dan, love the rest of the guys. ❤
Love all the insights into Dan's creative process and dealing with really tough criticism. Made those lemons into soooo much lemonade!
Very grateful to have been able to bring “Ignoring Messages” to the masses with my friend Jens. It’s a lovely song and remains one of Dan’s most well-written lyrically!
I really loved that podcast! Dan is so humble 🥺♥️
This was very lovely to listen to. I’ve been listening to bastille since 2013 and seen them 3 times. I would love to have a conversation with Dan, he seems like the most reflective and kind dude :)
Interviews like this make me wanna be a better artist - so good!
this is such a great 80 minutes. awesome questions and i love that you really give dan the space to think and answer them. it's always neat to hear about his process and the efforts he makes to stay as down-to-earth as possible.
Their genre is not something I typically care for but I've been a fan of Bastille for years. There's just something special about the way they deliver their craft as well as how they play off each other in love performances. I got all four albums.
thanks for Dan Smith! gonna watch it with pleasure in hte upcoming days!
Just randomly come across this interview but I have to give this a watch!! I’m a big fan of Bastille, Dan is incredibly talented & candid.
Thanks so much for this interview ❤️🔥🙌🏻
This is absolutely brilliant that Dani’s back
Great interview. And I really enjoyed hearing about the other projects that he was working on. He really is prolific, and that is so inspiring.
I love getting to hear insight like this from dan, wonderful questions and conversations ❤
Dan is a really gorgeous! Kind and tender. I love him so much.
Thank you Dan Smith...I see myself in your mirror. I see myself as the "grey man"...and thats ok. Love every thing you do. cheers.
Hello Dan! So much love from Texas.
So much respect for Dan
Overjoyed! Such a great song best lyrics ❤
Thank you for this❤❤
The reochestrated versions are some of my favorite songs
Listened to as much of Bastille as I could handle prepping to cover 'Pompeii'. Not a fan of the band, in the same vein as Coldplay (blah UK pop) but Dan seems to be a good, humble guy. Rare these days for artists.
My boy!❤
59:00 to me every album has always been unique and differently sounding despite it being the same vocals. Their music is an escape.
@1:42 .... It's probably because they are a UK band
Great interview! one word Beabadoobee, interview her!
💝🤩

My goodness what took you so long to get into my life Dan Smith / Bastille.?
Please put josh kiszka's interview on here. Thanks
38 but looks 48.
What's a chart battle? Who is Justin Timberlake?
Do they still have a record contract? Their album sales in steep decline and I dont think any of their singles have bothered the charts in a few years?
They changed my life. I found them in 2013 and I didn’t have a favorite band before them. The impact they've made on not just me but so many others it's astounding. The connection I share with the lyrics, the way bad blood soundtracked my teenage years. I grew up with bastille and I'm entirely grateful. Dan is such a lovely role model to always have had to look up to. They're all great lads, love Bastille with all my heart. ☮️ ❤
Such a good and humble guy, one day he'll truly appreciate how talented he is, but I hope he always retains such humility and openness. So unlike most artists today.
Now that I think about it, I’ve been listening/known about their music since 2013…this was a strange time for in my life..but I remember hearing Pompeii all the time. Then liking their music. It’s crazy how time has passed.
We love you dannn 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Honestly man it’s my first time seeing you but I loved this interview a lot! Probably the same questions I would have asked Dan! And I love your inside knowledge about the band, seriously man, I enjoyed the interview like never had. Great job
Thank you
