Perfectionism, expectations, and weddings with Tom Odell | Happy Place Podcast

The character trait you feel most tortured by is probably your best one too. Musician Tom Odell feels his perfectionism can make life challenging, but acknowledges it also plays a part in his success.
In this chat, Tom talks about feeling fewer physical symptoms of anxiety since his last chat with Fearne in 2019, as well as how music helps him feel emotions more deeply, and understand them with more clarity. Plus, they talk about how a wedding day can bring out real tenderness in people.
Tom is playing a gig at Alexandra Palace Park on July 19th, and new dates have been announced in Halifax and Dublin too. His new album, Black Friday, is out on January 26th.

I don't think i've ever been so connected to a soul. I appreciated you as an artist but your open-hearted talk was so honest, bold, and brave. I know my comment will go unnoticed, but you have fans even if you don't have faith in yourself. You're appreciated and loved, and without you, we'd all be worse off.

Im the same. I’m 51 and he blew into my life 3 days ago when my Spotify randomly played Another Love. He’s such a beautiful soul.

I really enjoyed this, thank you.
It's always refreshing to hear someone who is a performer but is genuine and has no pretense or hype.

I can really relate to having an obsessive brain.. it makes life hard.. loved the conversation

[@victoriacoultas8509]

I can relate to that too the over thinking and not being able to sleep. Then struggling to be kind to myself.
