I met Hayley last year at Bonnaroo. I went up to her and said I’m so sorry I know you’re busy can I grab a photo. She touched my shoulder and said “don’t ever be sorry”. This woman is incredible

Nicole Brown Sis... is you blind? (Vine reference, not trying to be rudeeeeee) Ksksksksksksk basically the whole interview feels like a therapist talking to a patient in a more relaxed and edited setting, seeing how they dive so much deeper than your average interview (well, to me at least) ✨

It’s a rework of a quote written by Anthony Marra. To be fair, it’s been used in so many different contexts now that I’m not sure whether Hayley would’ve seen it from him or not, but nevertheless it’s a superb and very poignant quote indeed

I didn't know what to expect before seeing this interview...... .Such a beautiful soul, with the courage to be transparent....Im not sure it's wise, as many people don't have the best intentions. I heard she is a person of faith...if that's true, the answers are there if she'll only allow it.....

[@kaderobinson8671]

Honestly I think my favorite definition of after laughter is "depression with maracas"

[@jamaljones5647]

32:36 is this moment in the video, btw. To add on; one thing I often knock Zane for is how mad positive he is about every artist that comes through; almost like they do no wrong. Yet, I stand corrected here. He found a way to light-heartedly critique Hayley. Which is smart and bold all at once. Zane really knows how to do this ting yo. Respect.

THE FORESHADOWING IS REAL

[@FueledFromFiction]

Part III by Hayley Williams when????

[@ardraimmortal09]

Paramore and Hayley have been there for me since middle school, and their music GREW WITH me and thats something im so grateful. their changes mirrored my own. they have been the soundtrack of my life and I'm ready for hayley to create music for 26 year old me. lets get there together hayley!!

[@faaaa__]

I’ve know of them since elementary school and I truly believe that their music has helped me not to be so dark and to grow up on a better perspective, I don’t know how I would be if I hadn’t known them. I believe I would have a lot more problems with depression and anxiety even suicide without their lyrics guiding me through some rough stuff of my teenage years. And that’s why I always recommended them to people to try and help them too but it didn’t stick like it did with me but I’m glad. Now I’m almost out of college and I’m proud of who I’ve become and I still thank the moment I know about them. 😌💕

[@lilorange0x]

Same gurl❤

[@BG12sofia]

I know, right? Maybe it's just us projecting onto them or maybe we're all in the same train, going through the same things, but ever since I got into Paramore (and I admit I got into them a little late, right around the time Zac and Josh left) I feel like we're growing up at the same time and their music tells me what I need to hear at that stage of my life. I get my life lessons from the lyrics Hayley writes! I'm feeling the same thing happening now, with Simmer and Leave it Alone.

[@willowg.9210]

Honestly... Hayley should write a book. Just about her life (doesn’t even have to be about her life) just the way she’s overcome things and the mindset she has would be such an interesting read. She’s such a strong, smart and growing up with her music: role model. Her growth as an artist is one of the most inspiring yet relatable things and I would seriously love to see her write about it.

[@arlinaguilar5087]

Honestly the fact that after laughter had such sad and depressing lyrics with an upbeat tone made me love it even more. It kind of mirrors the feeling you have when you’re depressed and want to show everyone that you’re okay but deep down you’re going through a lot. People who aren’t paying attention or can’t relate to the feeling don’t realize what you’re going through but if they’re really listening and paying attention they know. I’m not sure if I explained that very well but I’m sure someone knows what I mean.

I will never understand how she has the strength to keep on fighting while being so genuine and humble to the fans. Many fans are so ruthless and invade artists privacy like it's a job. They also take joy in it. I have been a fan since 2005. I've seen them over 50 times. I've met them over 10 times. I couldn't be more proud of ALL of them. Wherever the members of paramore goes, I will follow.

We find it so strange that shes so humble and genuine cause it's so freaking rare. Its crazy. And like you said, people and fans cross boundaries for these artists that make them not wanna be so warm and open to their fans. So in reality we cant put all the blame on these artists for being cold or distant with their fans, but at the same time, those who take their fame and fans for granted do need to be held accountable. From a wider lens, its all subjective.

Zane and Hayley are really out here doing this. It's kind of crazy because when After Laughter came out, I was in a similar place where everything felt empty and I was dancing in my toxic behavior, depression, and anxieties. When the cycle ended, it's when, in my life, I fell from the absolute highest of falls. It took me so long to put the pieces back together and the experiences I've gone through have no words. Except Hayley comes out with two singles that explain to a T some of the crap that goes on through people's heads during a time so dark you forget the meaning of light. And Zane has SUCH a natural way to get these topics to the surface without making it feel forced, nosy or invasive. This interview made me cry and feel a lot of things I wasn't expecting to feel. I'm grateful to both of them for being so open and honest. It helps a substantial amount. xo

And you know, I’ve looked up to you so much during my adolescence because of your music, your voice, and your style and your power but I’ve found out that what I love the mots of having you as a role model is that you’re just as vulnerable as me and you really give voice to my thoughts and sometimes it even freaks me to see that we had the same life experiences and that we went trough the same shit and you don’t even know who I am, yet I feel like I am in someways connected to you, and I know you probably get this from a lot of people but I just couldn’t help sharing this after this meaningful interview that I thank you and Zane for.

[@flowerforvase]

@YoStefan Oh, for sure there's lots of artists that are really open as well. Demi Lovato, another favorite of my own, for example. But, the way that Hayley does is different. Since the beginning of her career until now she has a transparency that's really peculiar, her interviews just evolved even more, it's literally an open therapy session almost. It's *all* about *her* , just purely her life and her thoughts in a way that's so intimate and specific but still so relatable, this is a kind of connection with the fanbase that's just so rare and difficult to achieve. And the way she talks, so vulnerable, humble and honest, like... jeez.

The fact that she has felt so low may be hard for me to understand, because I would love to have half of the positive experiences she has had in life, but I also know that depression is something anyone can go through. I just hope she is able to feel the happiness she deserves. She is such a beautiful soul 🌺

Authentic human connection is by far my favourite thing on this planet and I understand more now why I've always been drawn to Paramore, by their lyrics mostly, it seems to me that it has been written from an honest place and hearing that interview has the same effect on me as the songs : it helps me to remember I'm not alone, we're all in this together.

Like can I just hug her tight 🥺🥺🥺

[@sasukeItachi131313]

I wish I could sit down and talk with them

[@rumid2332]

hayley has the best laugh ok

[@rosedydetayson521]

"My dog is the reason I'm alive." - Hayley Now I literally wish to be a dog 😭😭😭 Alf, thank you for being Hayley's reason for living 💕💕💕 Guys let's protect Alf at all costs 🥺🥺🥺

[@zurianayupanqui7314]

In what minute she say this?

[@trapnellcreative]

Zane Lowe is such an intelligent communicator. It’s a fascinating listen.

[@Benjermin7]

Zane & Hayley's conversation about how you keep climbing ladders and eventually the altitude gets too high and you just fall makes me think of Turn It Off. And the worst part is before it gets any better we're headed for a cliff And in the free fall I will realize I'm better off when I hit the bottom I wonder if Hayley ever listens to the old albums like brand new eyes and relates to them still.

[@TreDay444]

Love that song!

[@ricardomino6408]

She probably still listens to her older albums cause this year she sang “in the mourning” on her instagram, which was beautiful. Also when she performed I caught myself in the AL era it seems like she was really feeling the lyrics. So, I guess she stills relate to her old stuff, idk

[@jessicavarias7280]

When Hayley started talking about Alf, I started bawling 😭 she's so precious! We gotta protect her at all costs!

[@iwillnevergetone5]

at 14:40 like how she just casually said that Paramore makes 500,000 a show. damn let me play in the set

[@pedrovicnt_]

before this interview ive never seen zane lowe's interview, now i honestly want to spend 3 days discussing life with him happy bday hayleeeeey!

[@danyalucero1144]

Hayleys laugh gives me life

[@thenathchapter]

Oh Hayley... this is so pure.

[@wumethree]

OMG When Hayley talked about her dog, that's every pet owner's feelings.

[@ajimit8669]

2005: I fell in love with her 2020: I fall in love with her (again)

[@jordanalexalong]

hayley, thank you for being so open and vulnerable.. i feel like i could never be so open in an interview for the whole internet to see. you're so beautiful and strong. and i am so proud of you

[@dandelionburdock04]

She's growing and that is glowing, all over her face. I grew up with Hayley and I wish she has nothing but laughs in her life and that she keeps making rad music. Great interview.

[@ryuzheaven]

Her laugh in the beginning just made my whole day

[@mateap.736]

I feel so bad reading all these comments saying like "I've been a fan since like 2004" because I've only been a fan for like 3 months, and I feel bad I couldn't experience that too, but on the bright side, I found out about them in my teenage years and many other people have too, so at least I can experience growing up with their music. I really wish I knew them when they started the band but I wasn't even born then soo...

[@alexia6107]

Don't worry about that, the journey is always there whether in the begging, middle, or end. You came along, now let's enjoy it together. ❤️

[@pantherz9103]

Same with me. I’d heard of Paramore and thought Hayley seems nice and talented but I never became a fan until this past year. Then I realised how much I like their music and relate to the lyrics. I’m just blown away by Hayley’s talent especially and her story. She’s been through ‘Hard Times’ but she’s still making great music and is an amazing woman.

[@shainapangal6390]

Her voice really makes me calm:(

[@livrush__]

I love how sweet he is with her. Like he just wants to let her know that she can keep going forward and that she is welcome to feel whatever emotions come to her and there just seems to be such respect and I love it.

[@abrgbltzr]

I come over to replay this interview as if it were a song. I feel at home. It's gut wrenching at points and downright therapeutic.

[@fayatar432]

abrgbltzr me tooo, I have it watched 7 times and I only know about it for a month

[@nonapiper6033]

I have idolized this woman since I was 13. I'm almost 30 and she never ceases to amaze me and her music has gotten me through so much. I honestly feel like I owe my drive and dedication to self improvement and acceptance of change to her and her team. I have always dreamed of meeting her. Maybe one day. Hayley, if you ever read this, I am in therapy and going through some heavy shit. I'm always listening to you and following your strong and respectable example.

[@muppetlover02]

If I ever become a famous musician, having an interview with Zane Lowe will be my peak.

[@farrahschneider]

I'm so happy that Hayley is opening up about her struggles and is giving us Petals For Armor it's so heartbreaking to hear what she went through. Can't wait to hear the record I'm so excited for it.

[@RyanStorey1231]

Hayley talking about "what's the point in loving someone if we're just going to lose them?" really matches up with how I feel about the idea of everlasting love, in that I don't really believe in everlasting love anymore. I believe that people are only meant to be in your life for a certain amount of time and then they leave - whether through circumstances causing you to drift apart, a severe falling out, or through death. Even if I do find someone to spend the rest of my life with and we're madly in love all our lives, eventually one of us is going to die and we'll leave one or the other. And that doesn't mean that time wasn't special or that it was pointless. I'll always cherish the friends that I used to have that I simply grew apart from and the relationships that fizzled out. But this idea that I'll someday find my soulmate and that our love will be everlasting, or that my best friend is my "BFF", just rings false to me now. This isn't me being cynical, because I've come to find this fact truly beautiful. People aren't in your lives forever, so enjoy the time you do have with them because it really is special. On the other hand, this is also why I don't get too emotionally attached to people anymore because I know that they'll either someday leave me or that they'll die. I've had a lot of loss in my life, and a lot of death (my aunt when I was 10, my mother when I was 18, more deaths in between), as well as friends just abandoning me or growing apart from me. It truly feels like that every person I ever love either leaves me or dies. So I have had to reevaluate how I view human relationships in order to mentally survive. When I meet people now or make new friends, I always have to remind myself: "Hey, there's a strong possibility that this person won't be in your life five years from now, but this relationship is still worth having so enjoy your life."

[@andrewluzincourt3832]

This really impact my life

[@andrewluzincourt3832]

Likely people don’t wanna talk to me I feel lonely and worthless.

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

@Jamie Ryan thank you very much for sharing this, I’m so relating and struggling with my own grief over multiple losses, being adopted/former foster child. Parentless, dating certain individuals also thought liked me as I liked them and they didn’t it turned out. How do I open my heart or love fully or authentically which is a huge part of me. Without also suffering the deep wound of grief, betrayal, & deep sadness because people literally come and go or abandon you. At times when you least expect it, it’s very hard...😔🥀💔

[@lazybugger]

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” - some poet

[@Ateka9]

That quick little mention of Chino Moreno made my heart skip a beat

[@kirstenhartwig4485]

This right here is why Hayley's music is already speaking so much to me. Living through depression and finding your inner strength is so weighing that it takes everything to be able to find your light and lift off that pressure and shield.

[@anathematizzed]

i’m around the minute 20 and i’m tearing up holy shit i’ve never felt this weak

[@LonesomeKingdom]

Every time I've been close to taking my life it's always the thought of others losing me that stops me. And my best friend committed suicide so I know exactly how painful that loss is. Still I struggle but music helps. I honestly believe Paramore has saved my life and has made me feel like I'm not alone, and I don't want to put that responsibility on Hayley, Zac, Taylor and the band. But their music got me through... hard times. I don't expect anything from you guys, I'm just thankful. 🙏

[@nicoleramos2068]

literally the most authentic and open artist. This is why so many people love her.

[@saramartin2702]

I didn't want this interview to end. Hayley has always been my favorite artist and I relate to her so much. So excited to hear even more.

[@Badboy7full]

I have to say that this interview was very special and sincere, I don't even understand English very much but I felt every word, keep going Hayley you're an inspiring person

[@Singleballtheory]

Fascinating interview. Not the typical "So you've got a new album" fodder. The brief commentary on suicide resonated particularly close to home. Specifically, my dog was the only reason I didn't try last year. But I digress. I appreciate these types of conversations regardless of my own personal tastes in music. Lowe's a great interviewer and Williams gave an in-depth and honest interview which seems rare these days. For anyone who deals with depression (and other complicated emotions) I'd say it's worth a listen. Perhaps it will help you understand something about yourself. It may also help you understand something about someone else.

[@muellersphilip]

Also great interviewer - rather than just asking questions he contributed to the interview and left haley exactly the time she needed to answer and gave her the space to answer the questions as in comforting her. Great job!

[@patrickzajic]

26:23 you just want to hug her... she needs it

[@KanadeTachibana]

This was fucking wonderful to watch. I love how open Hayley was during this. As far as interviews go, this is by far the best I've heard/seen.

[@gabbylmonster]

Hayley is just such an incredible women, everything about her, how she carries herself, talks about the past and opens herself up like that is truly incredible and my god is it inspirational

[@MatheusCoimbraa]

18:54 "everyone is a good and a bad guy, like honestly, and I still have to learn to make space for that too, cause I'm a villain in someone's story just the same someone is in mine." THAT HIT ME HARD Y'ALL

[@TheBodokejk]

This are the best 46 minutes and 44 seconds I've spent ever since I learned about internet. You're such a talented and intellectual part of my life, growing up hearing you, learning where you come from is something else, feels like growing more attached to you. I now this might just stay as a comment here, but if you ever need a friend or someone you will just leave everything aside so you can just let go, let me or most of us here commenting know. We'll be there.

[@kidsfromthenorth3191]

TheBodokejk you should go on the Internet more

[@artemisailanthus]

15:15 - 15:30 omg that hits hard. that's exactly what's happening to me. i thought i was getting better, but honestly i was just ignoring it, now that i have to deal with again i realise that. i wasn't going through it, i just paused it to resume after i really had to think about it. and i guess it's okay, because i probably would not be here if i didn't pause.

[@abrown5526]

Wow. I can't remember the last time I watched an interview this inspiring. What a tear-jerker.. It has encouraged me to get back into therapy. I need it.

[@JoshChristiane]

This guy is consistently one of the best interviewers ever. Every single interview with him is deep, meaningful, and he manages to bring the best out of everybody.
