That's a great song, yeah.

from the very beginning,

I'm 27 years old,

When I turned 18 years old,
my mom came out as a lesbian,
366

a lot of judgment.

So it was a hard time
for my parents, of course,

that feeling of self‐identity.

First of all,
2041
01:21:52,783 --> 01:21:55,702
the fact that you
chose that song
2042
01:21:55,744 --> 01:21:58,414
means that you just set the bar,
and it's pretty high,

and how you sustained them.

is so crazy cool

a lot of words,
