  pursue
• 0:16
  it
• 0:16
  as
• 0:16
  a
• 0:16
  career?
• 0:17
  Because
• 0:18
  I
• 0:18
  wanted
• 0:18
  to
• 0:18
  be
• 0:18
  like
• 0:18
  my
• 0:18
  mom.
• 0:19
  I
• 0:19
  just
• 0:19
  wanted
• 0:19
  to
• 0:19
  be
• 0:20
  like
• 0:20
  my
• 0:20
  mom.
• 0:20
  That's
• 0:21
  all
• 0:21
  I
• 0:21
  wanted.
• 0:21
  I
• 0:21
  wasn't
• 0:22
  even
• 0:22
  thinking
• 0:22
  career
• 0:23
  or
• 0:23
  anything
• 0:23
  like
• 0:23
  that.
• 0:24
  I
• 0:24
  was
• 0:24
  like,
• 0:24
  I
• 0:24
  just
• 0:25
  want
• 0:25
  to
• 0:25
  be
• 0:25
  just
• 0:25
  like
• 0:25
  my
• 0:26
  mom
• 0:26
  when
• 0:26
  I
• 0:26
  grow
• 0:26
  up.
• 0:26
  I
• 0:27
  think
• 0:27
  that's
• 0:27
  what
• 0:27
  every
• 0:27
  little
• 0:27
  girl
• 0:28
  wants,
• 0:29
  you
• 0:29
  know,
• 0:29
  to
• 0:29
  be
• 0:29
  like
• 0:29
  their
• 0:30
  moms.
• 0:31
  I
• 0:31
  don't
• 0:32
  think
• 0:32
  everyone
• 0:32
  wants
• 0:33
  to
• 0:33
  be.
• 0:33
  Like,
• 0:33
  okay,
• 0:34
  you
• 0:34
  know
• 0:34
  what?
• 0:35
  That
• 0:35
  was
• 0:35
  maybe.
• 0:35
  I
• 0:36
  think
• 0:36
  you
• 0:36
  had
• 0:36
  a
• 0:36
  special
• 0:36
  mom,
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  maybe
• 0:37
  that's
• 0:38
  probably
• 0:38
  why.
• 0:38
  Oh,
• 0:39
  wait,
• 0:39
  you
• 0:39
  what?
• 0:39
  Elaborate.
• 0:41
  She
• 0:41
  was
• 0:41
  a
• 0:41
  cool
• 0:41
  person.
• 0:42
  Okay.
• 0:44
  Yeah,
• 0:44
  but.
• 0:44
  Yeah,
• 0:45
  okay,
• 0:45
  but
• 0:46
  as
• 0:46
  a,
• 0:46
  like
• 0:46
  a
• 0:47
  performing
• 0:47
  mom,
• 0:47
  like,
• 0:47
  seeing
• 0:48
  your
• 0:48
  mom
• 0:48
  performing,
• 0:48
  that
• 0:49
  looks
• 0:49
  pretty
• 0:49
  cool.
• 0:49
  I
• 0:49
  would
• 0:50
  probably.
• 0:51
  Absolutely.
• 0:52
  That's
• 0:52
  more
• 0:52
  what
• 0:53
  it
• 0:53
  was
• 0:53
  that
• 0:53
  would
• 0:53
  draw
• 0:54
  her
• 0:54
  to,
• 0:54
  you
• 0:54
  know,
• 0:55
  wanting
• 0:55
  to
• 0:55
  continue
• 0:55
  performance,
• 0:56
  watching
• 0:56
  how
• 0:56
  awesome
• 0:57
  it
• 0:57
  looks
• 0:57
  and
• 0:57
  how
• 0:57
  much
• 0:57
  fun
• 0:57
  she
• 0:58
  probably
• 0:58
  was
• 0:58
  having.
• 0:58
  Yeah.
• 0:59
  Yeah.
• 0:59
  But
• 1:01
  when
• 1:02
  you
• 1:02
  decided
• 1:03
  that,
• 1:03
  did
• 1:03
  you
• 1:03
  talk
• 1:04
  to
• 1:04
  your
• 1:04
  mom
• 1:04
  about.
• 1:04
  And
• 1:05
  did
• 1:05
  she
• 1:05
  have
• 1:05
  any
• 1:05
  trepidation
• 1:06
  about
• 1:06
  her
• 1:06
  daughter
• 1:07
  doing
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  exact
• 1:07
  same
• 1:08
  thing
• 1:08
  that
• 1:08
  she
• 1:08
  was
• 1:08
  doing?
• 1:09
  No,
• 1:10
  she's
• 1:10
  just
• 1:10
  proud
• 1:10
  of
• 1:11
  me.
• 1:11
  Yeah.
• 1:11
  Like,
• 1:11
  just
• 1:12
  encouraging
• 1:12
  and
• 1:12
  smiling.
• 1:13
  She
• 1:13
  never
• 1:13
  said
• 1:13
  anything
• 1:14
  negative.
• 1:15
  She.
• 1:15
  I
• 1:15
  was
• 1:15
  going
• 1:15
  to
• 1:16
  say,
• 1:16
  except
• 1:16
  for,
• 1:16
  you're
• 1:16
  great,
• 1:17
  but
• 1:17
  that's
• 1:17
  not
• 1:17
  negative.
• 1:19
  She
• 1:20
  just
• 1:20
  looks
• 1:21
  at
• 1:21
  me
• 1:21
  and
• 1:21
  she's
• 1:21
  proud
• 1:21
  of
• 1:22
  me
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  she
• 1:22
  encourages
• 1:23
  me.
• 1:24
  Wow.
• 1:25
  So.
• 1:25
  So
• 1:25
  after
• 1:25
  kindergarten,
• 1:26
  when
• 1:26
  did
• 1:26
  this
• 1:27
  start
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  become
• 1:27
  a
• 1:28
  thing
• 1:28
  or
• 1:28
  more
• 1:28
  of
• 1:28
  a
• 1:29
  thing?
• 1:30
  Well,
• 1:33
  during
• 1:34
  school.
• 1:34
  Like
• 1:35
  every
• 1:35
  year
• 1:35
  in
• 1:35
  school.
• 1:36
  A
• 1:36
  lot
• 1:36
  of
• 1:37
  times
• 1:37
  I
• 1:37
  was
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  new
• 1:37
  kid
• 1:38
  and
• 1:39
  I
• 1:39
  was
• 1:39
  a
• 1:40
  loner
• 1:40
  a
• 1:40
  lot
• 1:40
  of
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  times.
• 1:42
  And
• 1:42
  I
• 1:42
  would
• 1:43
  probably
• 1:43
  sit
• 1:43
  and
• 1:44
  hum
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  myself
• 1:45
  like
• 1:45
  a
• 1:45
  weirdo.
• 1:46
  And
• 1:46
  then
• 1:47
  somebody
• 1:47
  would
• 1:48
  always
• 1:48
  say,
• 1:48
  oh,
• 1:49
  you
• 1:49
  could
• 1:50
  sing.
• 1:50
  And
• 1:50
  then
• 1:51
  they'd
• 1:51
  bring
• 1:51
  me
• 1:52
  over
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  bigger
• 1:52
  group
• 1:53
  of
• 1:53
  kids
• 1:53
  and
• 1:53
  say,
• 1:53
  sing
• 1:54
  for
• 1:54
  these
• 1:54
  guys
• 1:54
  and
• 1:55
  sing
• 1:55
  for
• 1:55
  these
• 1:55
  guys.
• 1:56
  And
• 1:56
  then
• 1:56
  I'd
• 1:56
  start
• 1:56
  singing.
• 1:57
  And
• 1:57
  then
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  kids
• 1:57
  realized
• 1:58
  that
• 1:58
  I
• 1:58
  could
• 1:58
  sing
• 1:59
  and
• 1:59
  then
• 1:59
  they
• 1:59
  turned
• 1:59
  on
• 2:00
  me.
• 2:00
  Like,
• 2:00
  she's
• 2:00
  a
• 2:00
  show
• 2:01
  off.
• 2:02
  Oh,
• 2:03
  my
• 2:03
  God.
• 2:03
  I
• 2:04
  went
• 2:04
  through
• 2:04
  that
• 2:04
  so
• 2:05
  many
• 2:05
  times.
• 2:06
  Really?
• 2:06
  That
• 2:06
  same
• 2:07
  thing
• 2:07
  happened
• 2:07
  over
• 2:07
  and
• 2:07
  over,
• 2:08
  over
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  over.
• 2:08
  That's
• 2:09
  interesting.
• 2:09
  That
• 2:10
  is.
• 2:10
  So
• 2:10
  they.
• 2:11
  They
• 2:11
  would
• 2:11
  bring
• 2:11
  you
• 2:12
  out.
• 2:12
  What
• 2:12
  grade
• 2:12
  would
• 2:12
  that
• 2:13
  be?
• 2:13
  Every
• 2:14
  grade.
• 2:15
  Every
• 2:15
  great
• 2:15
  story
• 2:16
  of
• 2:16
  my
• 2:16
  life
• 2:16
  would.
• 2:16
  Bring
• 2:17
  you
• 2:17
  out
• 2:17
  and
• 2:17
  parade
• 2:17
  your
• 2:18
  skills.
• 2:19
  Yes.
• 2:19
  And
• 2:19
  then
• 2:19
  turn
• 2:20
  on
• 2:20
  me.
• 2:20
  Same
• 2:20
  kids
• 2:21
  would
• 2:21
  get
• 2:21
  upset
• 2:22
  that
• 2:22

  talented
• 2:22

  Let's
• 2:26
  call
• 2:26
  them
• 2:26
  out.
• 2:26
  We
• 2:26
  have
• 2:26
  a
• 2:27
  podcast.
• 2:28
  What
• 2:28
  are
• 2:28
  their
• 2:29
  names?
• 2:30
  Emily
• 2:30
  Flores.
• 2:31
  And.
• 2:31
  No,
• 2:32
  I'm

  joking.
• 2:34
  That
• 2:34
  name
• 2:34
  sounds
• 2:34
  too.
• 2:35
  There's
• 2:35
  an
• 2:35
  Emily
• 2:35
  Flores
• 2:36
  crying
• 2:36
  somewhere
• 2:36
  right
• 2:36
  now.
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  didn't
• 2:37
  even
• 2:37
  know
• 2:38
  her.
• 2:40
  Amazing.
• 2:41
  Were
• 2:42
  you
• 2:42
  always
• 2:42
  writing,
• 2:42
  too?
• 2:44
  You
• 2:44
  know
• 2:44
  what?
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  wouldn't
• 2:46
  write
• 2:46
  things
• 2:47
  down,
• 2:47
  but
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  would
• 2:48
  create
• 2:49
  my
• 2:49
  own
• 2:49
  version
• 2:49
  of
• 2:50
  songs
• 2:50
  that
• 2:50
  I
• 2:50
  liked,
• 2:52
  Whether
• 2:52
  it
• 2:52
  was
• 2:53
  just
• 2:53
  manipulating
• 2:53
  the
• 2:54
  melody
• 2:54
  or
• 2:54
  singing
• 2:54
  an
• 2:56
  alternative
• 2:56
  harmony.
• 2:57
  Alternate
• 2:58
  harmony.
• 2:59
  Yeah.
• 3:01
  So
• 3:01
  I
• 3:01
  was
• 3:01
  always
• 3:01
  creating
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  some
• 3:02
  way.
• 3:03
  Yeah.
• 3:04
  And
• 3:04
  then
• 3:04
  I
• 3:05
  would.
• 3:06
  I
• 3:06
  had
• 3:06
  a
• 3:06
  tape
• 3:07
  recorder.
• 3:07
  It's
• 3:07
  actually
• 3:08
  two
• 3:08
  tape
• 3:08
  recorders.
• 3:09
  And
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  would
• 3:09
  hold
• 3:09
  it
• 3:09
  up
• 3:10
  to
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  radio
• 3:10
  and
• 3:12
  tape
• 3:12
  it.
• 3:12
  Yeah.
• 3:13
  And
• 3:13
  then
• 3:13
  I
• 3:13
  would
• 3:13
  sing
• 3:13
  a
• 3:14
  harmony
• 3:14
  and
• 3:14
  then
• 3:14
  do
• 3:15
  doubles
• 3:16
  with
• 3:16
  the
• 3:16
  other
• 3:16
  one.
• 3:16
  And
• 3:16
  then
• 3:17
  stacked.
• 3:17
  Right.
• 3:18
  Stacking
• 3:19
  with
• 3:19
  tape
• 3:19
  recorders.
• 3:20
  But
• 3:20
  I
• 3:20
  didn't
• 3:21
  know
• 3:21
  what
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  was
• 3:21
  doing.
• 3:21
  I
• 3:22
  just,
• 3:22
  you
• 3:22
  know,
• 3:22
  I
• 3:22
  was
• 3:22
  like,

• 3:22
  is
• 3:23
  cool.
• 3:23
  This
• 3:23
  is
• 3:23
  fun.
• 3:24
  That's
• 3:24
  funny.
• 3:24
  Yeah.
• 3:25
  Mellie,

• 3:25
  you

  how
• 3:26

• 3:28
  invented?
• 3:28
  No,

  I
• 3:29
  really
• 3:29
  did.

• 3:33
  up
• 3:33
  there,
• 3:33
  he
• 3:33
  also
• 3:33
  invented
• 3:34
  multi
• 3:34
  track
• 3:34
  recording.
• 3:35
  And
• 3:35
  the
• 3:35
  way
• 3:35
  he
• 3:35
  did
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  was
• 3:36
  he
• 3:36
  got
• 3:36
  two
• 3:36
  tape
• 3:37
  machines.
• 3:37
  I
• 3:37
  seen
• 3:38
  this
• 3:38
  video
• 3:38
  into
• 3:39
  one,
• 3:39
  and
• 3:40
  then
• 3:40
  he
• 3:40
  would
• 3:40
  play
• 3:41
  that
• 3:41
  back
• 3:42
  record
• 3:42
  into
• 3:43
  another
• 3:43
  while
• 3:43
  he
• 3:44
  played
• 3:44
  something
• 3:44
  on
• 3:44
  top.
• 3:45
  So
• 3:45
  you
• 3:45
  just
• 3:45
  reinvented
• 3:47
  multi
• 3:47
  tracking.
• 3:47
  That's
• 3:48
  incredible.
• 3:48
  I
• 3:49
  didn't
• 3:49
  know
• 3:50
  at
• 3:50
  a
• 3:50
  young
• 3:50
  age.
• 3:51
  Where's
• 3:51
  my.
• 3:53
  Get
• 3:54
  something
• 3:54
  for.
• 3:55
  Have
• 3:55
  you
• 3:55
  ever,
• 3:55
  like,
• 3:55
  had
• 3:56
  an
• 3:56
  amazing
• 3:56
  idea
• 3:57
  and
• 3:57
  it
• 3:58
  really
• 3:58
  was
• 3:58
  your
• 3:59
  idea,
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  then
• 3:59
  you
• 3:59
  look
• 3:59
  it
• 3:59
  up
• 3:59
  and
• 4:00
  somebody
• 4:00
  else
• 4:00
  came
• 4:00
  up?
• 4:00
  Yeah,
• 4:01
  that
• 4:01
  happened
• 4:01
  very
• 4:01
  soon.
• 4:02
  That's
• 4:02
  a
• 4:02
  billion
• 4:02
  dollar
• 4:03
  idea
• 4:03
  that
• 4:03
  you
• 4:03
  came
• 4:04
  up
• 4:04
  with
• 4:04
  yourself
• 4:04
  before
• 4:04
  you
• 4:05
  knew
• 4:05
  it
• 4:05
  was
• 4:05
  a
• 4:05
  thing.
• 4:05
  Yeah.
• 4:06
  Amazing.
• 4:06
  Great
• 4:07
  mind.
• 4:07
  He's
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  genius.
• 4:08
  That
• 4:08
  was
• 4:09
  seven.
• 4:09
  Yeah,
• 4:09
  both
• 4:10
  seven.
• 4:12
  That's
• 4:12
  hilarious.
• 4:12
  Who
• 4:13
  did
• 4:13
  you
• 4:13
  listen
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  back
• 4:13
  then?
• 4:14
  Who
• 4:15
  were
• 4:15
  your
• 4:15
  favorite
• 4:15
  artists?
• 4:17
  You
• 4:17
  know
• 4:17
  what?
• 4:17
  I've
• 4:17
  always
• 4:18
  listened
• 4:18
  to
• 4:19
  old
• 4:19
  school
• 4:19
  music
• 4:20
  that's
• 4:20
  older
• 4:20
  than
• 4:21
  me
• 4:21
  because,
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  mean,
• 4:23
  I
• 4:24
  like
• 4:24
  my
• 4:24
  mom's
• 4:25
  favorite
• 4:25
  stuff
• 4:26
  and,
• 4:26
  like,
• 4:26
  Motown
• 4:27
  stuff.
• 4:28
  So
• 4:29
  I've
• 4:29
  always
• 4:30
  been
• 4:30
  listening
• 4:30
  to,
• 4:30
  like,
• 4:31
  Stevie
• 4:31
  Wonder,
• 4:32
  Aretha
• 4:33
  Franklin.
• 4:36
  Geez.
• 4:36
  The
• 4:36
  Supreme,
• 4:37
  Steiner
• 4:37
  Ross
• 4:37
  and
• 4:37
  Supremes.
• 4:38
  Gladys
• 4:38
  Knight.
• 4:40
  Do
• 4:40
  you
• 4:40
  remember
• 4:41
  what
• 4:41
  song
• 4:41
  you
• 4:41
  were
• 4:41
  trying
• 4:41
  to
• 4:42
  record
• 4:42
  off
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  radio?
• 4:45
  No.
• 4:46
  No.
• 4:47
  And
• 4:47
  it
• 4:47
  wasn't
• 4:47
  one
• 4:48
  time.
• 4:48
  Oh,
• 4:48
  I
• 4:48
  was
• 4:48
  like,
• 4:49
  yeah,
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  bunch
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  times.
• 4:50
  Do
• 4:50
  you
• 4:50
  have
• 4:50
  any
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  those
• 4:51
  tapes?
• 4:51
  Practice.
• 4:52
  No,
• 4:52
  I
• 4:52
  don't.
• 4:52
  Like,
• 4:53
  Come
• 4:53
  on.
• 4:53
  Tapes.
• 4:54
  Right,
• 4:54
  Tapes.
• 4:56
  I'm
• 4:57
  looking
• 4:57
  for
• 4:57
  some.
• 4:57
  If
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  do
• 4:58
  find
• 4:58
  them
• 4:58
  somewhere,
• 4:59
  bring
• 4:59
  them
• 4:59
  here.
• 4:59
  We'll
• 4:59
  restore
• 5:00
  them.
• 5:01
  There
• 5:01
  you
• 5:01
  go.
• 5:02
  Thank
• 5:02
  you.
• 5:02
  I
• 5:03
  don't
• 5:03
  think
• 5:03
  I'll
• 5:03
  find
• 5:03
  those.
• 5:04
  You
• 5:05
  have
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  Believe.
• 5:07
  And
• 5:07
  then.
• 5:08
  So
• 5:08
  what
• 5:08
  happened
• 5:09
  next
• 5:09
  in
• 5:09
  your
• 5:09
  journey?
• 5:09
  You
• 5:10
  went
• 5:10
  to
• 5:10
  an
• 5:10
  art
• 5:10
  school,
• 5:10
  right?
• 5:11
  I
• 5:11
  did.
• 5:11
  I
• 5:11
  guess
• 5:12
  that
• 5:12
  was
• 5:12
  high
• 5:12
  school.
• 5:12
  Earl
• 5:13
  Hagg
• 5:13
  School
• 5:13
  of
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  Arts.
• 5:14
  But
• 5:14
  before
• 5:15
  that.
• 5:17
  Okay.
• 5:17
  Because
• 5:17
  my
• 5:18
  mom
• 5:18
  was
• 5:18
  touring
• 5:18
  so
• 5:18
  much,
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  had
• 5:19
  a
• 5:19
  babysitter
• 5:20
  that
• 5:20
  I
• 5:20
  actually
• 5:21
  lived
• 5:21
  with.
• 5:21
  Oh,
• 5:22
  wow.
• 5:22
  And
• 5:23
  her
• 5:23
  kids
• 5:24
  would.
• 5:25
  They
• 5:25
  took
• 5:26
  music
• 5:26
  lessons.
• 5:26
  So
• 5:27
  every
• 5:27
  morning
• 5:29
  for
• 5:29
  half
• 5:29
  an
• 5:29
  hour,
• 5:30
  one
• 5:30
  of
• 5:30
  the
• 5:31
  kids
• 5:31
  would
• 5:31
  be
• 5:31
  practicing,
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  they
• 5:32
  would
• 5:33
  wake
• 5:33
  up
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  whole
• 5:33
  house.
• 5:34
  One
• 5:34
  played
• 5:34
  piano
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  other
• 5:35
  played
• 5:36
  guitar.
• 5:37
  And
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  was
• 5:37
  hearing
• 5:38
  this
• 5:38
  every
• 5:38
  morning.
• 5:39
  Every
• 5:39
  morning?
• 5:39
  Every
• 5:39
  morning.
• 5:40
  So
• 5:40
  then
• 5:40
  I
• 5:40
  went
• 5:41
  over
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  piano,
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  I
• 5:42
  figured
• 5:43
  out
• 5:43
  how
• 5:43
  to
• 5:43
  play
• 5:43
  what
• 5:43
  the
• 5:44
  other
• 5:44
  kid
• 5:44
  was
• 5:44
  playing.
• 5:45
  Because
• 5:45
  it's
• 5:46
  like,
• 5:46
  how
• 5:46
  many
• 5:46
  times
• 5:46
  can
• 5:46
  you
• 5:46
  hear
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  same
• 5:47
  thing
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  not.
• 5:48
  It's
• 5:48
  like,
• 5:48
  okay,
• 5:48
  how
• 5:49
  are
• 5:49
  you
• 5:49
  doing
• 5:49
  this?
• 5:49
  Even
• 5:50
  though
• 5:50
  I
• 5:50
  didn't
• 5:50
  ask
• 5:50
  him,
• 5:51
  I
• 5:51
  just
• 5:51
  went
• 5:51
  and
• 5:51
  started
• 5:52
  doing
• 5:52
  it.
• 5:52
  So
• 5:52
  then
• 5:52
  I
• 5:53
  was
• 5:53
  like,
• 5:53
  she
• 5:54
  needs
• 5:54
  lessons.
• 5:54
  It's
• 5:55
  like,
• 5:55
  why?
• 5:56
  Why
• 5:56
  do
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  need
• 5:57
  lessons
• 5:57
  if
• 5:57
  I
• 5:57
  could
• 5:58
  do
• 5:58
  what
• 5:58
  he's
• 5:58
  doing?
• 5:58
  And
• 5:59
  he's
• 5:59
  been
• 5:59
  taking
• 5:59
  lessons
• 5:59
  for
• 6:00
  five
• 6:00
  years.
• 6:02
  But,
• 6:02
  yeah,
• 6:02
  I
• 6:03
  ended
• 6:03
  up
• 6:03
  having
• 6:04
  piano
• 6:04
  lessons,
• 6:06
  and
• 6:08
  it's
• 6:09
  terrible.
• 6:09
  I
• 6:09
  would
• 6:09
  say
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  was
• 6:10
  nice,
• 6:11
  but
• 6:11
  I
• 6:11
  was
• 6:12
  using
• 6:12
  my
• 6:12
  ears
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  whole
• 6:13
  time.
• 6:14
  And
• 6:14
  then
• 6:14
  my
• 6:14
  teacher
• 6:15
  realized
• 6:15
  it,
• 6:15
  like,
• 6:16
  three
• 6:16
  years
• 6:16
  in.
• 6:17
  Because
• 6:17
  she's
• 6:18
  like,
• 6:18
  three
• 6:18
  years
• 6:18
  in.
• 6:19
  Yeah.
• 6:19
  It's
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  long
• 6:20
  time
• 6:20
  not
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  catch
• 6:21
  on
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  that.
• 6:22
  Well,
• 6:22
  that's
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  thing.
• 6:23
  I.
• 6:23
  Who's
• 6:23
  this
• 6:23
  teacher?
• 6:25
  I
• 6:25
  don't
• 6:25
  remember.
• 6:25
  Let's
• 6:26
  call
• 6:26
  everybody
• 6:26
  out.
• 6:27
  I
• 6:27
  don't
• 6:28
  remember
• 6:28
  her
• 6:28
  name,
• 6:28
  but
• 6:29
  I
• 6:29
  remember
• 6:29
  she
• 6:29
  said,
• 6:30
  play
• 6:30
  it
• 6:30
  from
• 6:30
  this
• 6:31
  part.
• 6:31
  And
• 6:31
  I
• 6:32
  start
• 6:32
  from
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  beginning.
• 6:32
  She
• 6:33
  goes,
• 6:33
  no,
• 6:33
  from
• 6:33
  this
• 6:33
  part.
• 6:33
  And
• 6:34
  I
• 6:34
  turned
• 6:34
  her
• 6:34
  and
• 6:34
  I
• 6:34
  said,
• 6:34
  I'll
• 6:35
  get
• 6:35
  there.
• 6:38
  I'm
• 6:39
  approaching
• 6:39
  there,
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  know,
• 6:40
  because
• 6:40
  it
• 6:40
  was
• 6:40
  a
• 6:40
  muscle
• 6:40
  memory
• 6:41
  thing.
• 6:41
  And
• 6:41
  I'm
• 6:41
  listening.
• 6:42
  It's
• 6:42
  like,
• 6:42
  okay,
• 6:42
  it
• 6:42
  goes
• 6:43
  like
• 6:43
  this.
• 6:43
  It
• 6:43
  goes
• 6:43
  like
• 6:43
  that.
• 6:44
  You
• 6:44
  know
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  music
• 6:44
  progression.
• 6:46
  She
• 6:46
  goes,
• 6:46
  wait
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  minute.
• 6:48
  Play
• 6:48
  it
• 6:49
  right
• 6:49
  from
• 6:49
  this
• 6:49
  part.
• 6:50
  And
• 6:50
  I
• 6:50
  was
• 6:50
  like,
• 6:50
  oh,
• 6:51
  Lord.
• 6:51
  And
• 6:51
  I
• 6:51
  started
• 6:52
  going,
• 6:53
  every
• 6:53
  good
• 6:53
  dog
• 6:54
  deserves
• 6:55
  that.
• 6:57
  Counting
• 6:57
  what
• 6:57
  it
• 6:57
  is.
• 6:58
  Measuring.
• 6:59
  It's
• 6:59
  like,
• 6:59
  I
• 6:59
  hate
• 7:00
  counting
• 7:00
  and
• 7:00
  measuring.
• 7:00
  It's
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  worst.
• 7:02
  And
• 7:02
  then
• 7:03
  she
• 7:03
  realized
• 7:03
  that
• 7:03
  I
• 7:03
  was
• 7:03
  faking
• 7:04
  it,
• 7:04
  but
• 7:05
  faking
• 7:05
  the
• 7:06
  reading
• 7:06
  part.
• 7:06
  But
• 7:06
  you
• 7:06
  know
• 7:07
  what?
• 7:07
  A
• 7:07
  lot
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  greatest
• 7:08
  musicians,
• 7:08
  they
• 7:08
  don't
• 7:09
  read.
• 7:09
  Like
• 7:10
  Oscar
• 7:10
  Peterson.
• 7:11
  He
• 7:11
  didn't
• 7:11
  read.
• 7:11
  He
• 7:11
  just
• 7:12
  played.
• 7:13
  Stevie
• 7:13
  Wonder
• 7:14
  doesn't
• 7:14
  read.
• 7:14
  Doesn't.
• 7:15
  Yeah,
• 7:16
  I
• 7:16
  guess
• 7:16
  not.
• 7:17
  Wow.
• 7:17
  Good
• 7:17
  point,
• 7:20
  because
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  did
• 7:20
  that
• 7:21
  too.
• 7:21
  I
• 7:21
  was
• 7:21
  like,
• 7:21
  wait.
• 7:23
  Record
• 7:23
  scratch
• 7:24
  control.
• 7:25
  Yeah,
• 7:25
  you're
• 7:25
  right.
• 7:25
  Are
• 7:26
  there
• 7:26
  Braille
• 7:26
  notations?
• 7:27
  There's
• 7:27
  got
• 7:27
  to
• 7:27
  be.
• 7:27
  There's
• 7:28
  got
• 7:28
  to
• 7:28
  be.
• 7:28
  Okay,
• 7:29
  100.
• 7:29
  We'll
• 7:30
  look
• 7:30
  it
• 7:30
  up.
• 7:30
  Yeah.
• 7:30
  That
• 7:31
  is
• 7:31
  interesting.
• 7:31
  That
• 7:31
  is
• 7:32
  interesting.
• 7:32
  There's
• 7:32
  gotta
• 7:33
  be.
• 7:33
  But
• 7:33
  then
• 7:33
  you
• 7:33
  can't
• 7:33
  play
• 7:34
  with
• 7:34
  both
• 7:34
  hands.
• 7:34
  Read.
• 7:34
  Yeah.
• 7:35
  Oh,
• 7:36
  no.
• 7:37
  Or
• 7:37
  maybe
• 7:38
  you
• 7:38
  like
• 7:38
  take
• 7:38
  a
• 7:38
  couple
• 7:39
  bars
• 7:39
  in.
• 7:40
  You'd
• 7:40
  be
• 7:41
  taking
• 7:41
  sections
• 7:41
  and
• 7:41
  memorizing
• 7:42
  probably.
• 7:42
  Yeah.
• 7:44
  Interesting.
• 7:45
  You
• 7:45
  always
• 7:45
  ask
• 7:45
  these
• 7:46
  questions
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  just
• 7:46
  make
• 7:47
  us
• 7:47
  all
• 7:47
  just
• 7:47
  sit.
• 7:48
  I
• 7:49
  want
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  think
• 7:49
  more,
• 7:49
  but
• 7:49
  I
• 7:50
  gotta
• 7:50
  keep
• 7:50
  talking.
• 7:51
  We'll
• 7:52
  get
• 7:52
  Steve
• 7:52
  on
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  next
• 7:53
  episode
• 7:53
  and
• 7:54
  we'll
• 7:54
  ask.
• 8:40
  We'll
• 8:40
  ask
• 8:40
  him.
• 8:41
  Maybe
• 8:41
  not
• 8:41
  next,
• 8:41
  but
• 8:42
  soon
• 8:43
  two
• 8:43
  or
• 8:43
  three.
• 8:46
  So
• 8:46
  back
• 8:46
  to
• 8:47
  art
• 8:47
  school
• 8:47
  because
• 8:47
  I
• 8:47
  think
• 8:48
  that's
• 8:48
  where
• 8:48
  you're
• 8:48
  leading
• 8:48
  up
• 8:48
  with
• 8:49
  your.
• 8:49
  Oh,
• 8:49
  yeah.
• 8:50
  Find
• 8:50
  some
• 8:51
  piano
• 8:51
  lessons.
• 8:51
  Yes.
• 8:52
  After
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  piano
• 8:53
  lessons
• 8:53
  and
• 8:53
  all
• 8:53
  that
• 8:54
  stuff,
• 8:55
  I
• 8:55
  went
• 8:56
  to
• 8:56
  Earl
• 8:56
  Haig
• 8:56
  School
• 8:57
  of
• 8:57
  the
• 8:57
  Arts
• 8:57
  where
• 8:57
  I
• 8:58
  met
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  lot
• 8:58
  of
• 8:58
  like
• 8:58
  minded
• 8:59
  people
• 8:59
  that
• 9:00
  I
• 9:00
  still
• 9:00
  know
• 9:00
  today.
• 9:01
  Did
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  perception
• 9:02
  of
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  change?
• 9:02
  Because
• 9:03
  I
• 9:03
  know
• 9:03
  you
• 9:03
  were
• 9:03
  saying
• 9:03
  before
• 9:03
  everyone
• 9:04
  was
• 9:04
  kind
• 9:04
  of
• 9:04
  making
• 9:05
  fun
• 9:05
  of
• 9:05
  you.
• 9:05
  When
• 9:05
  you
• 9:06
  went
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  art
• 9:06
  school,
• 9:08
  were
• 9:08
  you
• 9:08
  still
• 9:08
  being.
• 9:09
  Wait,
• 9:09
  wait,
• 9:09
  when
• 9:09
  you
• 9:10
  say
• 9:10
  making
• 9:10
  fun
• 9:10
  of
• 9:10
  me,
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  didn't
• 9:11
  mention
• 9:12
  that
• 9:12
  I
• 9:12
  was
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  tomboy
• 9:13
  and
• 9:13
  I
• 9:13
  was
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  strongest
• 9:14
  and
• 9:14
  fastest
• 9:15
  and.
• 9:16
  Yeah.
• 9:17
  So
• 9:17
  there
• 9:17
  was
• 9:17
  no
• 9:17
  more
• 9:17
  fights.
• 9:19
  I
• 9:19
  actually
• 9:19
  didn't
• 9:20
  need
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  fight.
• 9:21
  Oh,
• 9:21
  they
• 9:21
  just
• 9:21
  knew.
• 9:22
  They
• 9:22
  just
• 9:22
  knew
• 9:22
  what
• 9:22
  time
• 9:22
  it
• 9:22
  was.
• 9:23
  Because
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  was
• 9:23
  quiet.
• 9:24
  I
• 9:24
  was
• 9:24
  very
• 9:25
  shy.
• 9:26
  But
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  was
• 9:27
  into
• 9:27
  sports
• 9:29
  a
• 9:29
  lot.
• 9:30
  And
• 9:30
  I
• 9:30
  100
• 9:31
  meter
• 9:32
  long
• 9:32
  distance
• 9:33
  high
• 9:34
  jump.
• 9:34
  I
• 9:34
  could
• 9:35
  jump
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  highest
• 9:36
  till
• 9:36
  grade
• 9:36
  six.
• 9:36
  Everybody,
• 9:38
  they
• 9:38
  outgrew
• 9:39
  me.
• 9:39
  I
• 9:39
  was
• 9:39
  still
• 9:39
  the
• 9:39
  little
• 9:40
  one,
• 9:40
  but
• 9:40
  I
• 9:40
  could
• 9:41
  jump,
• 9:41
  man.
• 9:43
  Girls,
• 9:43
  like
• 9:44
  before
• 9:44
  puberty,
• 9:45
  girls
• 9:46
  would
• 9:46
  always
• 9:46
  kick
• 9:46
  my
• 9:47
  ass.
• 9:47
  I
• 9:47
  feel
• 9:47
  like
• 9:47
  girls
• 9:48
  are,
• 9:48
  are
• 9:48
  naturally
• 9:49
  stronger
• 9:49
  until
• 9:49
  we
• 9:50
  have
• 9:50
  that
• 9:50
  advantage.
• 9:51
  Until
• 9:51
  you
• 9:51
  get
• 9:51
  a
• 9:52
  little
• 9:52
  older.
• 9:52
  Right?
• 9:53
  That
• 9:53
  is
• 9:53
  hilarious.
• 9:54
  So
• 9:54
  true.
• 9:55
  Yeah.
• 9:55
  Where
• 9:56
  were
• 9:56
  we?
• 9:56
  Art
• 9:56
  school.
• 9:57
  Oh,
• 9:57
  okay.
• 9:58
  Yeah.
• 9:59
  Meeting
• 9:59
  like
• 9:59
  minded
• 10:00
  individuals
• 10:00
  there.
• 10:01
  Yes,
• 10:01
  it
• 10:01
  was,
• 10:02
  it
• 10:02
  was
• 10:02
  really
• 10:03
  nice.
• 10:04
  And
• 10:04
  then
• 10:07
  I
• 10:07
  skipped
• 10:07
  a
• 10:07
  lot
• 10:07
  of
• 10:07
  classes.
• 10:10
  But
• 10:10
  you
• 10:10
  know
• 10:10
  what?
• 10:10
  Going
• 10:11
  to
• 10:11
  art
• 10:11
  school
• 10:11
  is
• 10:11
  amazing
• 10:12
  because
• 10:12
  it
• 10:12
  was
• 10:12
  like
• 10:12
  Fame.
• 10:13
  There's
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  dancers,
• 10:15
  there's
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  musicians,
• 10:16
  there's
• 10:16
  somebody
• 10:17
  sitting
• 10:17
  in
• 10:17
  the
• 10:17
  hall
• 10:18
  playing
• 10:18
  like
• 10:18
  a
• 10:19
  big
• 10:19
  upright
• 10:19
  cello.
• 10:21
  And
• 10:21
  it
• 10:21
  was
• 10:22
  mandatory
• 10:22
  for.
• 10:23
  I
• 10:24
  mean,
• 10:24
  I
• 10:24
  was
• 10:24
  a
• 10:25
  singer,
• 10:25
  right?
• 10:26
  And
• 10:26
  I
• 10:26
  was
• 10:26
  taking
• 10:26
  vocal
• 10:28
  classes,
• 10:28
  but
• 10:29
  it
• 10:29
  was
• 10:29
  mandatory
• 10:30
  to
• 10:30
  take
• 10:30
  dance
• 10:30
  classes
• 10:31
  too.
• 10:31
  And
• 10:32
  it
• 10:32
  actually
• 10:32
  reminded
• 10:33
  me
• 10:33
  of
• 10:35
  Fame
• 10:36
  because
• 10:36
  the
• 10:36
  dancers
• 10:37
  would
• 10:37
  be
• 10:37
  in
• 10:37
  their
• 10:37
  dance
• 10:38
  gear
• 10:38
  and
• 10:38
  you
• 10:38
  know,
• 10:38
  walking
• 10:39
  down
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  hallways
• 10:40
  and
• 10:40
  stuff.
• 10:40
  And
• 10:40
  you
• 10:40
  know,
• 10:41
  ballerinas.
• 10:41
  Ballerinas
• 10:42
  are
• 10:43
  like
• 10:43
  their
• 10:44
  posture
• 10:44
  and
• 10:44
  everything.
• 10:45
  They're
• 10:45
  just
• 10:45
  graceful
• 10:46
  and
• 10:46
  beautiful
• 10:47
  and
• 10:47
  intimidating.
• 10:49
  But
• 10:50
  you
• 10:50
  know
• 10:51
  what
• 10:51
  I
• 10:51
  was
• 10:52
  saying
• 10:52
  was
• 10:52
  that
• 10:52
  it
• 10:53
  was
• 10:53
  mandatory
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  take
• 10:54
  a
• 10:54
  dance
• 10:54
  class
• 10:54
  and
• 10:54
  I
• 10:55
  had
• 10:55
  never
• 10:56
  done
• 10:56
  choreographed
• 10:57
  dance
• 10:57
  ever.
• 10:58
  Right.
• 10:59
  So
• 10:59
  I
• 10:59
  was
• 10:59
  taking
• 11:00
  jazz
• 11:00
  and
• 11:01
  something
• 11:01
  else
• 11:01
  and
• 11:02
  made
• 11:03
  me
• 11:03
  realize
• 11:03
  I'M
• 11:03
  not
• 11:04
  a
• 11:04
  dancer.
• 11:04
  The
• 11:04
  teacher
• 11:05
  would
• 11:05
  be
• 11:05
  like,
• 11:05
  okay,
• 11:05
  this
• 11:05
  is
• 11:05
  the
• 11:05
  choreography.
• 11:06
  Show
• 11:06
  us.
• 11:07
  And
• 11:07
  she'd
• 11:07
  go,
• 11:07
  okay,
• 11:07
  five,
• 11:08
  six,
• 11:08
  seven,
• 11:08
  eight.
• 11:08
  And
• 11:09
  everybody
• 11:09
  go
• 11:09
  this
• 11:09
  way.
• 11:09
  And
• 11:09
  I'd
• 11:10
  be
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  way.
• 11:10
  And
• 11:10
  I
• 11:10
  was
• 11:10
  like,
• 11:10
  oh,
• 11:11
  no.
• 11:11
  And
• 11:11
  I'm
• 11:11
  chasing
• 11:11
  after
• 11:12
  them,
• 11:12
  trying
• 11:12
  to
• 11:12
  catch
• 11:13
  up.
• 11:13
  I'm
• 11:13
  like,
• 11:13
  what
• 11:13
  are
• 11:13
  we
• 11:14
  doing?
• 11:14
  I
• 11:14
  was
• 11:15
  like,
• 11:15
  what
• 11:15
  did
• 11:15
  you
• 11:15
  stop?
• 11:16
  That's
• 11:16
  a
• 11:16
  big
• 11:16
  part
• 11:16
  of
• 11:17
  school,
• 11:17
  too,
• 11:18
  especially
• 11:18
  art
• 11:18
  school,
• 11:19
  is
• 11:19
  learning
• 11:19
  what's
• 11:20
  not
• 11:20
  your
• 11:20
  strength
• 11:21
  but
• 11:21
  still
• 11:21
  understanding
• 11:22
  why
• 11:22
  it's
• 11:22
  not
• 11:22
  your
• 11:22
  strength.
• 11:23
  So
• 11:23
  you
• 11:24
  know
• 11:24
  who
• 11:24
  to
• 11:24
  hire
• 11:24
  later,
• 11:25
  right?
• 11:26
  100%.
• 11:28
  Oh,
• 11:28
  my
• 11:29
  gosh.
• 11:29
  But
• 11:29
  I
• 11:30
  did
• 11:30
  really
• 11:30
  enjoy
• 11:30
  it.
• 11:31
  Was
• 11:31
  it
• 11:31
  really
• 11:31
  competitive?
• 11:33
  No,
• 11:35
  I
• 11:35
  didn't
• 11:35
  find
• 11:36
  it
• 11:36
  competitive.
• 11:37
  Do
• 11:37
  they
• 11:37
  teach,
• 11:38
  like,
• 11:38
  how
• 11:38
  to
• 11:38
  write
• 11:39
  songs
• 11:39
  in
• 11:39
  art
• 11:40
  school?
• 11:40
  Not
• 11:40
  at
• 11:41
  all.
• 11:41
  What?
• 11:42
  What?
• 11:43
  I
• 11:43
  always
• 11:43
  wonder.
• 11:43
  They
• 11:43
  didn't
• 11:44
  teach
• 11:44
  me.
• 11:44
  But
• 11:44
  then
• 11:44
  again,
• 11:45
  like
• 11:45
  I
• 11:45
  said,
• 11:45
  I
• 11:45
  was
• 11:45
  doing
• 11:45
  a
• 11:45
  lot
• 11:46
  of
• 11:46
  skipping,
• 11:46
  right?
• 11:47
  You
• 11:48
  might
• 11:48
  not
• 11:48
  have
• 11:48
  known.
• 11:49
  So
• 11:49
  when
• 11:49
  did
• 11:50
  you
• 11:50
  start
• 11:50
  actually,
• 11:51
  like,
• 11:52
  putting
• 11:52
  pen
• 11:52
  to
• 11:53
  pad.
• 11:58
  As
• 11:58
  an
• 11:58
  adult?
• 11:59
  I
• 11:59
  went
• 11:59
  out
• 11:59
  with
• 12:00
  some
• 12:00
  girlfriends,
• 12:02
  and
• 12:04
  we
• 12:05
  were
• 12:05
  at
• 12:05
  a
• 12:05
  party.
• 12:07
  No,
• 12:07
  we
• 12:07
  were
• 12:07
  at
• 12:08
  a
• 12:08
  party.
• 12:08
  And
• 12:08
  it
• 12:08
  was
• 12:08
  like,
• 12:08
  there
• 12:09
  was
• 12:09
  basketball
• 12:09
  players
• 12:10
  or
• 12:10
  something.
• 12:10
  And
• 12:10
  the
• 12:11
  girls.
• 12:11
  I
• 12:11
  wasn't
• 12:12
  single.
• 12:12
  I
• 12:12
  was
• 12:12
  just
• 12:12
  kind
• 12:12
  of
• 12:13
  sitting
• 12:13
  there,
• 12:13
  and
• 12:14
  the
• 12:14
  girls
• 12:14
  are
• 12:14
  like,
• 12:14
  oh,
• 12:14
  let's
• 12:15
  go
• 12:15
  talk
• 12:15
  to
• 12:15
  those
• 12:15
  guys
• 12:16
  and
• 12:16
  these
• 12:16
  guys.
• 12:16
  And
• 12:16
  I
• 12:16
  was
• 12:16
  just
• 12:16
  like,
• 12:17
  oh,
• 12:17
  my
• 12:17
  God,
• 12:17
  I'm
• 12:17
  so
• 12:17
  bored.
• 12:18
  Ended
• 12:18
  up
• 12:18
  sitting
• 12:19
  next
• 12:19
  to
• 12:19
  this
• 12:19
  dude
• 12:20
  who
• 12:20
  is
• 12:21
  I
• 12:21
  ended
• 12:21
  up
• 12:21
  talking
• 12:22
  to,
• 12:22
  and
• 12:22
  he
• 12:22
  was
• 12:22
  like,
• 12:23
  oh,
• 12:23
  I
• 12:24
  make
• 12:24
  music.
• 12:24
  I
• 12:24
  was
• 12:24
  like,
• 12:25
  oh,
• 12:25
  really?
• 12:26
  I
• 12:26
  said,
• 12:26
  I'm
• 12:26
  a
• 12:26
  singer,
• 12:27
  right?
• 12:27
  Like,
• 12:28
  that's
• 12:28
  really
• 12:28
  cool.
• 12:28
  So
• 12:28
  I
• 12:29
  exchanged
• 12:29
  numbers
• 12:30
  with
• 12:30
  him,
• 12:31
  and
• 12:32
  he
• 12:32
  ended
• 12:33
  up
• 12:33
  sending
• 12:33
  me
• 12:33
  some
• 12:33
  beats.
• 12:34
  So
• 12:35
  even
• 12:35
  though
• 12:36
  I've
• 12:36
  always
• 12:36
  been
• 12:36
  a
• 12:36
  singer
• 12:37
  and
• 12:37
  I've
• 12:37
  always
• 12:37
  been
• 12:37
  able
• 12:37
  to
• 12:38
  sing,
• 12:38
  I've
• 12:38
  never
• 12:38
  had
• 12:39
  to
• 12:39
  create
• 12:40
  music,
• 12:40
  like,
• 12:41
  write
• 12:41
  a
• 12:41
  song,
• 12:41
  right?
• 12:43
  So
• 12:43
  I
• 12:43
  just
• 12:43
  tried,
• 12:45
  you
• 12:45
  know?
• 12:45
  And
• 12:46
  the
• 12:46
  first
• 12:46
  song
• 12:47
  was
• 12:48
  Housework
• 12:48
  Makes
• 12:49
  Me
• 12:49
  Sick.
• 12:51
  And
• 12:51
  how
• 12:51
  that
• 12:52
  came
• 12:52
  about
• 12:52
  was
• 12:53
  that
• 12:55
  I
• 12:55
  was
• 12:55
  cleaning
• 12:55
  the
• 12:56
  house,
• 12:57
  and
• 12:57
  I
• 12:57
  was
• 12:57
  listening
• 12:57
  to
• 12:58
  these
• 12:58
  beats,
• 12:58
  and
• 12:59
  I
• 12:59
  just
• 12:59
  started
• 12:59
  singing
• 13:00
  about
• 13:00
  what
• 13:00
  I
• 13:00
  was
• 13:00
  doing,
• 13:01
  and
• 13:02
  I
• 13:02
  wrote
• 13:02
  it
• 13:02
  down.
• 13:02
  Makes
• 13:02
  sense.
• 13:03
  Yeah.
• 13:03
  Put
• 13:04
  harmonies
• 13:04
  behind
• 13:04
  it.
• 13:05
  So
• 13:05
  being
• 13:05
  musical
• 13:07
  in
• 13:07
  the
• 13:07
  first
• 13:07
  place,
• 13:08
  the
• 13:08
  harmonies
• 13:08
  and
• 13:09
  stuff.
• 13:09
  Easy,
• 13:10
  easy.
• 13:10
  Remember,
• 13:11
  that
• 13:11
  was
• 13:11
  my
• 13:11
  thing
• 13:12
  with
• 13:12
  my
• 13:13
  tape
• 13:13
  recorders
• 13:13
  and
• 13:13
  stuff.
• 13:14
  But
• 13:14
  to
• 13:15
  actually
• 13:15
  write
• 13:15
  a
• 13:15
  song,
• 13:16
  I
• 13:16
  was
• 13:16
  like,
• 13:16
  whoa.
• 13:17
  And
• 13:17
  I
• 13:17
  do
• 13:17
  have,
• 13:17
  like.
