9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: such a blast.

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 3: I'm watching Zara Larson and she's such a Nordic queen.

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 3: I love that there's a Nordic takeover of jingle Ball.

12

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: She's incredible and speaking of your world.

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: A matter of time was released and it's pretty much

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: like a.

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: Diary of sorts. It definitely all does it.

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: Feel releasing your diary and then watching people interpret it

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: however they interpret it and sing along with you.

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: It's so rewarding.

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: I think it just you know, it's like you said,

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: it's like a diary, so it's very honest and getting

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: to when you put that out into the world, it

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: can be a little scary, but the second people respond

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: to it saying that they feel heard or seen from it,

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: or it makes them feel better in some way.

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: That makes me feel better. Oh, I'm one of those people.

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: So do you ever put out a song though and say, oh,

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't have put that out it's too personal.

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: I think I have moments where I'm like, oh, did

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: I go too far? But ultimately no, because it's there's

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: always a little bit of, you know, of decoration around it.

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: It's never like one hundred percent accurate. And also, I

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: think if all the artists that I look up to,

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 3: all the great artists, you know, we're trying to hold

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: back parts of their emotions or thoughts and their art,

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: they wouldn't be the great artist that we know today.

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: You know, absolutely not. So the other day we interviewed you.

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: You were on the show The Elves Around Morning show

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: with us, and when the MIC's shut off, I.

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: Asked you a question. I thought your answer was fascinating.

41
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I said, what was the biggest culture shock for you

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: coming from Iceland to the United States?

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: Do you remember what you said? You said, two things. Yeah,

44
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: I was.

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: I was very taken aback when I moved to the States,

46
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: how open people were with their emotions and how willing

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: they were to talk about how they felt at any

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: given moment, and also how often they ask you how

49
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: you feel. It is like a lot of regard for

50
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 3: how people around them are feeling, which I think is

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: it's a good thing.

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: At first, I was.

53
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: Like, whoa I to know that you were crying.

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: I didn't need to know that you were crying at breakfast.

55
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: And now I'm like the biggest open book and I

56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: tell I, very loudly, tell everyone.

57
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: I was crying at breakfast.

58
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: I was going to say, do you feel like we

59
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: Americans have made you a little bit more open?

60
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

61
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: I became a writer after I moved to the States

62
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: because I think it really allowed me to feel comfortable

63
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: in my skin. It's you know, it was my first

64
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: time being around diverse people and not needing to I

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: wasn't always the odd one out anymore, which I think

66
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: gave me this space to be able to write about

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: my feelings and open up about my feelings.

68
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: The US is a big country, oh misfits, So well,

69
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,920
