There was this feeling the entire time when I was looking back at the record that something
was missing from the record.
I didn’t know what it was.
And then I went into the studio and that song came very quickly.
It was like a 4 to 6 hour endeavour.
It’s not that I was looking for that feeling but once the song was finished, then I realized
I’d been looking for that feeling the whole time.
To me, it’s a really beautiful song about appreciating someone and appreciating yourself
with that person.
And having the respect for your past experience to know that everything’s okay because it
brought you to this moment that you’re in now and this is a good moment.
There’s this exterior that people present to the whole world, to you even.
And when you get to know someone intimately, that projection of themself breaks or fades
in a really good way and you see the real them.
"Tear falling from that grace" is starting to understand who the person I’m singing about
really is.
Gienveve carries herself with a lot of grace.
So it's seeing that grace, not disappear, 'cause she always has it, but understanding
the levels underneath that.
It’s not supposed to be like a linear timeline in that way where I fell in love and then
she fell in love with me ‘cause I fell in love with her.
It’s not like that.
It’s more just… stating.
It’s a statement.
I fell in love.
And then it’s a bigger statement to be like, “We fell in love.”
Starting to understand that I have a huge part to play in failures is important to not
be overly stubborn about that.
"I make mistakes."
"I know things break.”
I know I can damage things.
And it's accepting that in myself as well.
I think it's really important to allow a relationship to grow and be something beautiful and whole.
I’m really interested in the idea of multiple lives that I’ve personally lived.
Cause I feel I've lived multiple lives and not in a karmic way.
I'm talking, specifically, like I've lived in multiple countries.
I've lived in Thailand.
I've lived in Germany.
I've lived in Holland.
I grew up in Canada.
I lived in twos cities in Canada.
Then I moved to LA.
And there's different versions of yourself in every place, especially when you're confronted
with speaking a different language or learning a different language.
You also realize how much that language influences the way you even think about life.
Trusting and being the person that can be trusted with someone’s emotions.
The heart, you know.
That’s probably what love is.
What do you need from me?
What do you need to feel safe?
What do you need to feel comfortable?
When you’re singing something with intention versus reciting essentially just words, they
don’t feel magical.
They don’t feel as special as when you’re singing them and you’re unloading and you’re in it.
