'when you take away all of my defenses and i tell you exactly how im feeling how could you possibly hurt me.' Its like she's reading my soul. A lot of love for this girl.

[@SheIsMuvaaa]

Her submission to the "it is" moments of life is highlighted by the way she uses the word inevitably. Trusting in the inevitability of life allows you to just flow freely, and if you listen to her story, thats exactly how she got to where she is. Trusting in the inevitable and submitting to it.

[@inserviceofthesublime]

The interviewer finds her real intense, she is, she's is bold and couragous which i love

[@fokisgaming3745]

I love this gal... would love to meet her. Take a shot for every time she says "inevitably" in this interview lol.

[@bluesoulreggae1356]

I've got a crush with someone I'll never meet : bright , gorgeous , musical , empathetic , great communication skills , good sense of humour

[@Lord_Sammy]

You never know... i went to see her live today in NY. One of the best concerts ive been to.

[@mahery3000]

well done on navigating the questions so expertly - I'm in PR and this was a masterclass in how people should handle and interview - honest, measured, tight. i wish you all the best maggie! xx

[@katielarsen4836]

inevitably

[@katielarsen4836]

no but she's cool tho

[@ellensiwek9453]

Katie Larsen hah! I would be drunk on that "word game". What an impressive young woman!

[@Helping.Homless]

I scrolled down to make a comment about her using that word...glad I see someone else noticed how much she used tithe word...the bitch obviously just learned that word

[@vigilant545]

probably

[@justchickenstrips]

i started to hate that word after the third time it was used

[@andresaldana6163]

@3:57 Dang, I love her now. “If I take away all my defenses and tell you exactly how I’m feeling, how could you possibly hurt me?”

[@darkstar000]

I love the dynamic of this interview, great conversation. Thanks for posting q on CBC!

[@QwithTomPower]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@QwithTomPower]

Cheers! You're welcome!

[@chetblueychristiansalinaso2738]

I could listen to her for hours, because she is so smart, honest and so so kind. I really love her music and she seems like a very understanding and well spoken person. I'm so happy that I found out about her.

[@Nick-lh7wi]

She was amazing when she played in Toronto, we cheered so hard for her; I know what she means by "unity" in live performance, she cast her spell over all of us with that solo opening number. She's cool :)

[@simeonismyname2982]

She's so genuine, I love how honest she is.

[@michaeldavinci6599]

Inevitably...... She will be A STAR ⭐⭐⭐

[@TimHoefer]

I feel for Maggie, having to talk about that video at nearly every interview, answering the same questions. Nothing against the interviewer here though...just part of the promotion business..although... "When did you start writing music?" states for the third time that it was when she was 13. Not sure if he's star-struck or just not listening.

[@Devachandra9]

An incredible insight that she realized and speaks to when saying that genre only exists to sell music; it doesn't really exist when you're creating it. This is the essence of what inspiration really is; i.e., inspiration doesn't 'think' about genre when the muse amazes the mind and sets the heart ablaze.

[@stevegabe]

Great interview got really deep quickly and yet answered a lot of questions long articles skipped over. Of course it's Maggie Rogers sincerity that brings real tears of joyous insight but O Canada the CBC delivered the goods.

[@lauriechambers8335]

Love her soul!!! Beautiful!!

[@kATiEBABi0X]

she is so genuinely intense

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

This is just the most amazing interview with an artist, in large part because Maggie is just so herself. Which is something we all can do and be. She gives so much hope in some of the most simple, basic ways. But also, kudos to the interviewer. :)

[@childofagape]

because we all connect to that what maggie is to herself.. we love her so much.

[@Bomber411]

Maggie Rogers I love your music, I love you.. your uniqueness.. fabulous. what a beautiful human being. I'm obsessed with your music and wanting everyone to hear it.. but I'm totally content with also just keeping it for myself

[@jjayneartworkx]

I love people who are and advocate authenticity.😍

[@41yearoldnewdriver]

Cool idea! I'm a poet. I have written poems since I was in the 5th grade to deal with my feelings or to process my emotions. Songwriting for mental health sounds dope.

[@santisouk1924]

She's a gem

[@lancebuttercream9817]

"I'm not good at retaining memory" " I learned how to be bored " She's pretty cool.

[@MultiBrooke17]

stellar interview

[@kamenshepard1110]

I learned “how to be bored”. That’s deep

[@viciousLUA]

My dad always said if you’re bored then you’re boring.

[@bingoboy91]

she's very deep and humble about everything !!

[@360.Tapestry]

her singing voice is so mature and older-sounding, but her speaking voice could work as a voice actor for a younger character

[@connieconstance7252]

wow props to Maggie for soaring through a horrendous interview with this guy. erugh so many brilliant answers

[@fulltiltmusic8436]

More people should see this

[@nicolawiekamp5559]

omg I love her music and I love Carly Rae Emotion

[@Migtopia]

Love her to death, but if uses that word one more time, I’m INEVITABLY going to go insane! 😂😂

[@danielyouden9793]

Please Come To Newfoundland Maggie! :)

[@PeterMuskMusic]

beautiful people :)

[@JerryAndJulieMusic]

Haha I wonder what those other kids that were in the video is up to now. Maggie is awesome!

[@IHMadeThis]

She is probably a pleasure to work with in the studio.

[@tatestubbles7876]

Maggie "Inevitably" Rogers

[@ThePartymonster88]

This guy sounds exactly like the narrator in the film Stand By Me

[@QwithTomPower]

Like Richard Dreyfuss? Cool!

[@lozzybozzy234]

He's a brilliant interviewer

[@Alterbridge321]

There's no way Joni Mitchell isn't one of her influences.

[@deathmetalpotato]

UncleJohn72 Joni Mitchell is like Prince, they’ve influenced everybody that came after even if the person doesn’t realize it.

[@halbrenner8635]

The next Lauv...one and done NYU student.

[@sarahs1821]

i've never met a Canadian that says about like aboot where do they live

[@FeelTheRainOnYourSkin]

I do NOT say AG'EH'NST! LOL

[@kristophershinn4420]

Thumbs up for the Ghost tee shirt

[@QwithTomPower]

That comment is going straight to Tom.

[@tompower532]

I am on the square. I am on the level.

[@shelbydelong991]

he has the same voice as the guy that makes the tutoring videos haha

[@dstorfer]

Not sure I buy the synesthesia thing - it's just too convenient. But then again, maybe it's just inevitable.

[@sebastiansantander9365]

I've got it too - I don't think it's that rare though, it's probably just an aspect of the way most creative people think

[@victoriao7039]

It's incredibly real. I've had it since I can remember, and I remember being a kid and realizing that not everyone interprets the world that way. Just a facet of our multi-dimensionality, I believe anyone can open themselves to it.

[@lotusflower29]

isn't the song called " dog days"?? he said dog years

[@putriputri-nu6jd]

What he said is right, it's Dog Years. I don't know why they wrote it as Dog Days..

[@QwithTomPower]

In a way, you're both right, and we're wrong. Typo on our part - it's Dog Years. Good catch on both your parts!

[@leilael-dana4734]

If it counts you probably thought it was dog days because there is a song called dog days by florence and the machine

[@b.k8051]

I love her. I don't like him.

[@ros100200]

fuck haters. keep it up

[@riles97]

Garbage host..beautiful mAgs

[@MrMonsterkaraoke]

LOL...how long can you milk that Pharrell critique video

[@Mawson6492]

long enough to start a career

[@MrMonsterkaraoke]

Think she has peaked already lol

[@WaitingForTheHook]

What's she gonna do, not answer questions when all the interviewers ask her about it? Don't be dumb. She's not milking anything. If anything, you can tell she's kinda past it.

[@inspireAson]

Christian I agree. She didn’t ask for that master class experience, but now that’s what people keep talking about. At this point it’s a little unfair to her talent to make that such a big deal.

[@MarkSHogan]

It's clearly the other way around and Maggie is trying to be kind about it.

[@jwtimleck]

bring back Shadd as the host this guy....not so much

[@triplepeanut]

inevitably
