Alicia Keys

Surely we get upset or we disagree, but there's not like a yelling and screaming and an arguing and a chaos and a slamming and a throwing. There's not that. We respect each other too much for that. And I really appreciate that that's the energy because I do also appreciate that many people have to or choose to or find themselves in the place of experiencing that type of interaction.

And man, I mean, that is just so stressful and hard all around. So I'm proud that we can find that place. And it is possible. It is possible.

Right.

Right.

I'll find it. At least I'll send it to you. But I'll find it. I really like it. It's special. It's a special song. I wrote it when I came back from Egypt. And so it was a while ago, but I took a special trip to Egypt and I did a lot of songwriting right after that. And that was kind of one of them. And it was actually in honor of my godmother who did experience quite an abusive relationship.

And so the line was, the tightest grip is an open hand.

So many that just half done or didn't quite just come together or just didn't have that special thing enough to go to the next level or time passes and your relationship to yourself is changing. So what you were expressing at one point just doesn't represent where you are now. And so then that kind of has its own. In fact, one of my albums, Keys has a song on it called Is It Insane?

And Keys came out in like 2023. And Is It Insane was written in like 2000. But it was not ready until that moment. And then it was ready. So back to that whole thing where nothing's ever ready when you think it's time. And then finally you're like, oh, it's time. I get it.

I learned that going to these crystal shops, there's something so beautiful about the process. And I remember doing a beautiful book called The Artist's Way. Julia Cameron, I believe her name is. It's like tried and true book, like classic.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And one of the things that was beautiful about it is she says, take yourself on an artist date. So once a week, you were meant to take yourself on an artist date, which meant you could go with no one except yourself. And you had to think of what would serve you on that date, which is quite hard for many of us. Like, what will make me happy? Where would I like to go? In crystal shops.
