A Cry That You Answered - Talking Break - Live From Webster Hall

Oh, yeah
Is everybody okay?
I said, is everybody okay?

I wish I could explain to you guys like
What it's like to just do that
'Cause being on stage is a really beautiful thing and like
Gives me this opportunity to perform my thoughts
And perform my words in front of you
But I feel so fucking far away from you
So one of my favorite things to do is just jump down there
And look at you up close

I'm gonna be honest with you guys
It's really hard to perform this album because I wrote this
A rogue Romeo and Juliet story
And it's set in a place where there's guns and fire
And blood and magic, and all this amazing cinematic stuff
And I'm expected to get on stage and perform it
And I'm like a five-foot-four girl from New Jersey

So sometimes it feels hard to do this record the justice that it deserves
Um, but it also makes me think really, really hard about the songs
And about how if you strip all that magic back
If you strip away the fucking music videos and whatever else

This album was
Two things
It was a cry for help, which you answered
But, it was also this
This beautiful story that I made for you
So that you would know that you're not alone

If you are a proud member of the LGBT community
Can you put your hands up in the sky?
Put it up higher
Are you proud?
Do you feel safe?
Do you feel seen?
Do you know that you are fucking beautiful?
Well, then this one's for us
