Ah, the video that I submitted
is a video of our two girls.
They are two of five.
These two are on this side
of heaven
the other three are
on the other side.
I think in the video I sent
our oldest was about to turn 12
and our youngest was four.
And they were just goofing off
and just being sisters.
And that was it.
I ended up submitting a video
of my friends and I
playing in the snow at midnight
two days after my long-term
boyfriend and I had broken up.
Like, I'm happy now
and I think that's, like,
the most important thing.
And I hope that he's happy too.
The video is me
and my grandmother dancing
at a wedding.
She had so much life,
so much joy in her heart
and her spirit.
And we're just moving around
like it's just us two
in the world.
And I miss her.
She passed away a couple
of years ago, but she's amazing.
[WOMAN]:
It was really cool...
to watch that and to be able
to just share with him
some of our stories.
That was nice.

I wanted to just make it feel
like the song does, which is...
yeah, raw, stripped back
emotional, nostalgic
and special.
