I LOVED the Freudian slip moment when she said "an awarness of the kind of dynamic you're *destructing*" instead of *constructing*. It makes sense though, Cheryl was talking about their individuality vs the collaborative work and said they don't sound like their solo work selves in this record, and Julian started talking about the construction of that collaboration but for that to happen somehow they needed to lo 'destruct' their solo dynamic!

I can't normally watch live performances. But Julien is so cathartic it's beautiful. There's these moments after Me & My Dog when she just sort of looks at the piano, then up at Phoebe and Lucy, and it's like she's winded. This good kind of winded you see marathon runners get after a race. It's amazing stuff and I love that these moments are captured.

Julien, Phoebe and Lucy remind me of a time when, as a creative person, I worked on a project with a team of other creative people and discovered how truly remarkable (and very uncommon) it is to complete / experience a solution that is better because each member came together and fully trusted one another. The experience that Phoebe speaks of when she walks outta the room is so commonly universal….and destructive and unnecessary.
