EDEN.
>> RACHEL PLATT E
EN TOUCHED A CORD
SONG.
AN ANTHEM FOR SURVIVORS.
AND SHE'S JOINING US NOW BECAUSE
SHE HAS TAKEN ALL OF THAT ENERGY
AND ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT
CAME OUT OF THAT SONG AND HAVE
JOINED UP FOR THE WARRIORS IN
PINK.
HI RACHEL.
>> HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> DOING JUST GREAT.
WHEN YOU FIRST WROTE AND
RECORDED FIGHT SONG, DID YOU
EVEN HAVE A CLUE THE IMPACT IT
WOULD MAKE?
>> NO.
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE SOME TINY LITTLE BRAVE,
YOU KNOW, CONFIDENCE PLACE BUT
THERE WAS SO MUCH SECURITY AND
FEAR I WAS DEALING WITH.
I HAD TRIED FOR YEARS TO MAKE IT
WORKING.
AND FIGHT SONG WAS MY WAY OF
SAYING I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP
ON THIS DREAM JUST BECAUSE I HAD
SO FAR.
IMAGINE THAT THIS
INCREDIBLE -- THE INCREDIBLE
THREE YEARS THAT HAVE HAPPENED
SINCE COULD HAPPEN.
BUT I THINK I BELIEVED IT IN
HEART.
>> IT'S A SONG THAT WORKS IN ANY
SITUATION, WHETHER IT BE
FRUSTRATION.
THINGS.
BUT I KNOW AND I'VE HEARD YOU
SAY THIS, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE EXPERIENCED BREAST CANCER
IN PARTICULAR HAVE TOLD ME THAT
SONG.
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT WARRIORS
AND HOWE HOW YOU GOT INVOLVED?
>> I FEEL SO GRATEFUL THAT MY
MUSIC TOUCHES PEOPLE AND YOU
KNOW, HELPS PEOPLE EXPERIENCE A
LOT OF EMOTIONS.
AND I'VE HAD INCREDIBLY
EMOTIONAL ONE-ON-ONE EXPERIENCE
WITH PEOPLE THAT SHARE WITH ME
STORIES ABOUT BATTLING THINGS
AND CANCER KEPT COMING UP, AND
BREAST CANCER IN PARTICULAR.
I WANTED TO FIND A WAY TO
PARTNER AND GIVE BACK.
>> WHAT SPECIFICALLY, THOUGH, DO
YOU -- WARRIORS IN PINK,
?
>> RESEARCH AND PATIENT SUPPORT.
AND I LOVE THAT THEY PARTNERED
WITH WONDER LUST FESTIVAL AND
MEDICATION APP.
I KNO
I KNOW IN WRITING THIS RECORD, I
JUST FINISHED WITH LAST NIGHT,
ACTUALLY WHICH IS CRAZY, THAT
I'VE DEALT WITH A LOT OF
FEELINGS I THOUGHT WOULD GO AWAY
ONCE I REACHED THESE GOALS LIKE
INSECURITIES AROUND ME FOR
APPROVAL AND FEAR AND MEDITATION
IS THE WAY I CALM ALL OF THAT
DOWN AND ABLE TO CENTER AND ABLE
TO GIVE.
I LOVE THAT THEY PARTNER WITH
THE MEDITATION APP THAT I USE.
>> THAT IS SO COOL.
FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER TRIED
MEDITATION, IS IT SOMETHING THEY
CAN DO ON THEIR OWN AND GET HELP
WITH THIS APP.
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
I GOT TOLD BY SOMEONE ONCE THAT
INTIMIDATE
ING BECAUSE YOU THINK
YOU'RE A PERSON SITTING THERE
AND WITH AND -- IT'S REALLY NOT
THAT AT ALL.
YOU CAN LOOK AT IT CONNECTING
INWARD AND GETTING QUIET AND
QUIETING YOU WILL OF THESE
VOICES IN SURE HEAD THAT TELL US
WE'RE NOT ENOUGH, NOT GOOD
THAT DOWN.
WAVES OF AN OCEAN.
AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SPILL
THE WAVE EVER.
BUT JUST SNEAKING BENEATH THE
WAVE AND FINDING THE STONE
PROVIDING THE QUIET.
IT'S HOW I WRITE SONGS HONESTLY.
IF I DIDN'T DO THAT, I WOULDN'T
BE ABLE TO CHANNEL MUSIC.
AND I WOULD GET IN THE WAY OF
THE MUSIC, AND WHEN I WAS
WRITING THIS RECORD, IT WAS
REALLY IMPORTANT AND QUIET THAT
I GOT STILL EVERY DAY SO I COULD
DO THE BEST JOB POSSIBLE TO
THE WAY.
>> WE'RE SO ANXIOUSLY AWAITING
THE RECORD BY THE WAY.
DATE IT WILL COME OUT?
>> WELL, I DO.
BUT I HAVEN'T ANNOUNCED IT YET.
BUT I WILL VERY VERY SOON.
