New Video! Behind The Songs Ep. 9: Souvenirs

Hello and happy Friday! Episode 9 of Behind The Songs is here!

I can't believe we're nearly done with this series! (And yet--it HAS been almost 5 months since I kicked it all off... so I guess I can believe it 😂) Thank you all SO MUCH for allowing me to go back and revisit all these songs before moving on to new things--it's meant the world to me and I feel so much more peace around coming to the close of this chapter.

Below is the short version of this episode and a little time guide in case 7 minute-long videos overwhelm you!

In this episode: why the "bad" is often "good", recreating my life in Jakarta, and why we should probably all quit our jobs and just hug for the rest of our days.

0:08 When did you write this song?  

2:05 Can you talk about the significance of different parts of the music video?  

5:17 Can you talk about the lyric: "Now all the scars seem like souvenirs"

Hope you enjoy the second to last video of this series! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and talk sooooon <3

Whoa, I knew the 'Souvenirs' video was about Jakarta, but not that it was the first time you looked at the granny squares again! I appreciate all the effort you put into recreating your experience. ♥️

What a great lesson in how to practice gratitude which is so very important in staying happy and healthy!

Before I properly read the paragraph I thought it said like "here is a short 7 minute version" and for half a second I got excited for a 30 minute long uncut version 😅 We'd watch that too you know! (some of us at least)

I just want to say how incredibly happy I am that you are still with us! I'm sending you a million hugs, you're the best Kina ❤❤❤

Wow! I’ve listened to this song (and the entire album) dozens of times, but I never suspected it was about that. I’m so glad you all got through that experience and that you came out the way you did from it.

I always love behind the song videos and this is one of my favorite songs ever. Thank u for inspiring us to be better humans💕

I remember trying to find out what happen to you during those 100 days, I didn't knew who you were but I just adored your music. I was googling to find out why you've had just vanished, I was going to ask Marié at her next stageit show if you were okay. I stumbled on a article on what happen and I remember being really worried for both you and Jesse but a couple of weeks later it was over. Anyways I'm sorry for my rambling and incoherent mess that I probably typed but THANK YOU!!, I just think your brilliant!
