00:00 Does anybody else feel that when you write, you're almost manifesting things that are
00:03 about to happen?
00:04 Completely.
00:05 Like when you're about to write something and you're like, "Should I be putting this
00:08 in a song?
00:09 I'm going to be saying this all along."
00:10 Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy?
00:11 Yeah, exactly.
00:12 I feel that so much.
00:13 I feel like I look back at songs that I relate to now more than I ever did.
00:19 When I write them.
00:22 And some songs take on completely new meanings.
00:24 That's the one thing.
00:25 That's what I've always said.
00:26 That's true.
00:27 I think it's evidence that songs come from the divine, that sometimes they know things
00:30 that we don't know.
00:31 It's so true.
00:32 It's so true.
00:33 We call it sometimes.
00:34 Yeah.
00:35 We really call it.
00:36 I was like, "Yeah."
00:37 Hello, vessel.
00:38 I got something for the day.
00:39 Hello, vessel.
00:40 I got something for the day.
