- 3:19you
- 3:19see,
- 3:19you

- 3:21like,
- 3:21meeting
- 3:22with
- 3:22Barbra
- 3:22Streisand,
- 3:23and
- 3:23she

- 3:29stage.
- 3:29Like,
- 3:29sometimes
- 3:30she
- 3:30throws
- 3:30up.
- 3:32So
- 3:32sometimes
- 3:32you
- 3:33see
- 3:33somebody
- 3:34who
- 3:34looks
- 3:35like
- 3:35the

- 3:35confident
- 3:36badass
- 3:36in
- 3:36the
- 3:36whole

- 3:37they're
- 3:37up
- 3:37on
- 3:37stage
- 3:38in
- 3:38an
- 3:38arena,
- 3:38but
- 3:38this
- 3:39person
- 3:39is
- 3:39struggling.
- 3:40As
- 3:40we
- 3:41know,
- 3:41we've
- 3:41lost
- 3:41so
- 3:41many
- 3:42artists
- 3:42early.
- 3:42So
- 3:43there
- 3:43is
- 3:43this
- 3:44interesting,
- 3:44like,
- 3:44dichotomy
- 3:45where
- 3:45artists
- 3:46are
- 3:47working
- 3:47with
- 3:47the
- 3:47most
- 3:48profound
- 3:49gift,
- 3:50that
- 3:51universal
- 3:52love.
- 3:52Language,
- 3:53in
- 3:53a
- 3:53way.
- 3:53But
- 3:54at
- 3:54the
- 3:54same
- 3:54time,
- 3:54there's
- 3:55also
- 3:55darkness
- 3:55and
- 3:56pain
- 3:56and
- 3:56trauma
- 3:57there.
- 3:57And
- 3:57a
- 3:58lot
- 3:58of
- 3:58the
- 3:58industry
- 3:58kind
- 3:59of
- 3:59fuels
- 3:59that
- 4:00because
- 4:00there's
- 4:01this
- 4:01idea
- 4:01that
- 4:02you
- 4:02have
- 4:02to
- 4:02be
- 4:02in
- 4:02pain
- 4:03to
- 4:03write
- 4:03a
- 4:03good
- 4:03song
- 4:04or
- 4:04you
- 4:04have
- 4:04to
- 4:04be
- 4:04at.
- 4:05So
- 4:05there's
- 4:06not
- 4:06really
- 4:06a
- 4:06support
- 4:06mechanism
- 4:07around
- 4:07how
- 4:08to
- 4:09heal
- 4:10through
- 4:10that.
- 4:10So
- 4:10I
- 4:10found
- 4:11myself
- 4:11at
- 4:11the
- 4:11intersection
- 4:12of
- 4:12that
- 4:12and
- 4:12a
- 4:12lot
- 4:13of
- 4:13my
- 4:13relationships,
- 4:14and
- 4:14I
- 4:14felt
- 4:14like.
- 4:16I
- 4:16just
- 4:16felt
- 4:16a
- 4:16sense
- 4:16of
- 4:17responsibility
- 4:18there.
- 4:20That
- 4:21reminds
- 4:21me
- 4:21of
- 4:22when
- 4:22Selena
- 4:22Gomez
- 4:23canceled
- 4:24her
- 4:24massive

- 4:25because
- 4:25of
- 4:25anxiety.
- 4:26Yeah.
- 4:27And
- 4:28that
- 4:28seemed
- 4:28to
- 4:28have
- 4:28come
- 4:29as
- 4:29a
- 4:29big
- 4:29surprise
- 4:30to
- 4:30everyone.
- 4:30But
- 4:30it's.
- 4:31It
- 4:31can
- 4:31be
- 4:31terrifying
- 4:32even
- 4:32if
- 4:32you
- 4:32do
- 4:32it
- 4:33every
- 4:33day

- 4:38You
- 4:38should
- 4:38just
- 4:38have
- 4:38to
- 4:38cancel
- 4:38the
- 4:39whole
- 4:39thing.
- 4:39So
- 4:40Barbra
- 4:40Streisand
- 4:40has
- 4:40that.
- 4:41True.
- 4:41She's
- 4:41just
