[Music] today from New York City Bradley Cooper the Grammy Golden Globe Tony and Oscar nominated actor has expanded even further into a Visionary filmmaker the nominations the attention the accolades mean what to you his first try at directing a film became the box office smash A Star is Born the fact that I had an opportunity to co-write and direct a movie and see it from an idea in my head or a feel inspir of my soul to showing you the story are you kidding me that's like praise God A Star is Born has earned over
$400 million at the box office and received eight Academy Award nominations including Bradley for best actor Lady Gaga for best actress best adapted screenplay and best picture what does it mean to be able to fulfill your dreams and be able to just live out the greatest artistic expression it's expanded my my my uh inspiration to create and later in today Super Soul short the soul stirring thrill of risking a dive into the unknown fire the simplest of choices sink or swim float or flounder to transform from ordinary to briefly extraordinary hello Bradley Cooper you oh
good wow wow good thank you for being here so I know you were at the Oscar nominee luncheon you've been several times I will tell you the first time uh well yes the first time I was ever there I was nominated for a color purple and Jean Cisco remember Jean Cisco of course Jean Cisco famous movie critic sisol and Ebert said to me you're not going to win you're not going to win the Academy Award so go to that luncheon enjoy it and if I were you I'd take the bun and bronze it and that
will be your thing so I actually did at the end of the lunch I took the roll I put it in a napkin I put it in my purse I bronzed it and that that bronzed biscuit rooll is now at the Smithsonian wow you showed them I showed them show them I didn't get the Oscar but I got my bun okay so tell us about that experience I saw some video in the room and you're talking to Spike Lee and oh yeah uh it was it's incredible you know uh and Nicole Kusa who's here is
my friend and publicist said you know there are 12 people that have Nom have nominations yesterday from a stars born and I just thought wow you know that's just it's just icing on the cake to be able to work with people and have them be recognized by the academy for that for a stars born is uh incredible so it's been a four-year ride for you will you finally be able to breathe and sort of Let It Go let what Go the movie Yes uh um will it feel like done the movie felt done a while
ago oh really yeah yeah this you know the truth is this plays into things that have nothing to do with creating art um it's it's a whole other element of the business so it's really reconciling its effect on you that that's the thing that I tend to deal with is like because you you don't ever do it for I never thought ever doing anything for first of all just takes too much it's too hard like you said you have to have love to put the work in so if it's love to get an Oscar that
that's not enough love to to put the work that's needed nobody who ever gets one is thinking about when you're making that movie OG this is going to be Anar it's the joy of doing I mean that's why it's and then and that's why thank God you're able to put so much work in uh this is more about just getting through it really this phe yeah yeah and and and and just taking all the goodness out of it and um and that's it so so the nominations the attention the accolades mean what to you where
do you have that in perspective it's so surreal uh you know to be able to to to to grab Lee yesterday and talk to him a guy who made a movie that changed my life uh do the right thing when I saw that movie it it really yeah it really made me rethink what I thought I knew even as a Young Man growing up in Philadelphia so to be in that world you I remember the first time I was nominated Daniel de Lewis I was in the same same category with Daniel de Lewis and Denzel
Washington and and Hugh Jackman and it was just you know to be there this year with Christian Bale vgo mortson and Ramy Malik you know and and to be a director now it's so surreal op to be honest mean it doesn't make any sense um so I just try to breathe through it be present for it and take all the goodness I can that's a great experience in that room though because there's no pressure nobody's going to be announced who's a winner so nobody has to lose luncheon is so great for that reason right but
the truth is it never feel you only feel like you're a loser when people treat you like it afterwards that that's the only downside because the the award show ends and people are like they sort of first of all they avoid you a little bit and then they they they do say like you know it was a good movie like oh thanks thanks thanks thanks I was surprised I got to admit that you were not nominated for best director oh thank you were you surprised by that disappointed by that or did you just take it
in stride uh I was not surprised uh you were not never surprised about not getting anything uh but but I did feel you know and it's funny you ask that cuz I have thought about this cuz I was with my friend I was in New York City at a coffee shop and I looked down at my phone and Nicole had texted me and they said you know congratulations on these other things but they didn't tell me the bad news yes you know and I went oh wow and and the first thing I felt was embarrassment
actually oh well think about it it's I felt embarrass that I didn't do my part so I'll work on that it'll be yeah but but that was the first I was well I'm glad you at Le sense think about it I mean but but my thing is I would I'm at least glad you said that because if I were you I would be feeling some kind of way about it yeah embarrassment I went I went oh gosh I didn't I didn't I didn't do my job but you know you did I do yes CU how
do you get my thing is how do you get nominated for best picture when the director has to direct it if you if you aren't a Best Director but the truth is even if I got the nomination that should not give me any sense of whether I did my job or not that that's the trick yes that's the trick yes the trick is to make something that you believe in and you work hard and then you have the product and you say okay I remember going the first time we ever showed the movie was at
the Venice film festival and I remember riding in the boat up there really uh at this stage in my life I tend not to get too terrified about things and I was really I felt I was sick and I thought oh yeah I really do care about what people are going to feel cuz it was a very personal thing it was a very personal thing this movie and I really did show myself in a way that I thought oh wow this is vulnerable and the thing I said to myself is if people don't like it
whatever they say please don't let that stop inspiring you to make art because do not give that power away that's what you were saying to yourself to myself yes people did like it they did like it but but but it goes back to my answer about the Oscars is you can't give up that much power to things that really have nothing to do with why you're creating art or why you're doing something and so when you're in the midst of doing it you don't lose track of that it's only after you come out well there's
too much joy that's the great thing yeah and you found joy in everything oh yes Bradley worked on a star as born for over four years he wrote produced directed starred in and even composed music for the film that has captured the world's imagination he spent months learning to play the guitar and surprised audiences with his world weary voice he intuitively cast the incomparable Lady Gaga to step into the shoes of the iconic role famously played by Judy Garland and Barbara stren the fact that I had an opportunity to co-write and direct a movie and
see it from an idea in my head or a feel inspiration in my soul to showing you the story are you kidding me that's like praise God from going to Gaga's house and she made you spaghetti and then you on the phone you all filmed your first moment she says you can sing what did that feel like when wrong I had to work hard she was kind uh it was a song it was like the only song I could sing it was the one I asked her to sing coming [Music] up Bradley Cooper grew up
in Philadelphia his mother worked at the local NBC station his father was a stock broker after graduating from Georgetown University Bradley received a master's degree from the famed actor Studio at the new school in New York City he got his start with a small role on HBO's Sex in the City and hit it big big big with the hangover Trilogy Bradley earned three consecutive Oscar nominations for his roles in Silver Linings Playbook American Hustle and American Sniper on Broadway his haunting portrayal of Joseph of Merck and the Elephant Man earned him a Tony nomination can
I completely do a segue yes cuz I just want to say this um you changed my life and just talk about doing something you believe in and no matter what and of course you've received so many accolades but of course it was a huge thing to have your own television show 1986 yeah I'm 11 years old in PH I mean I'm I'm going to try not to lose it here but I'm 11 years old with my grandparents in Philadelphia watching Days of Our Lives and another world soap oppers and and I was there every afternoon
and when your show started it just provided for me a a like the sense of watching somebody you're so authentic you're so present and for you to come through that television for me and then I was able to watch it all through my adolescence really gave me such a beautiful lesson in life about how to behave in life what I want to that I can dream and achieve my dreams and I'm one of the millions of people so thank you for that really and you never know you never know who you're going to impact you
never no that's the beautiful thing you know you never know and then fast forward II my parents and I when I first moved to LA I think she lives in Santa Barbara and we're driving and I and I and I think there's a TV in front of her gate so that's how we'll know and we drove around trying to find your house he could have just called me I'd have had you over I definitely would have would have had you over it's true it's true that first of all I didn't know you were out there
watching yeah and it it is also true because one of the things that has impressed me so much was my lesson from Maya Angelou when I had finished my school and I was sitting and she was teaching I was in her kitchen and she was teaching me how to do biscuits and I said oh my uh my school's going to be just my greatest Legacy and she said you have no idea what your legacy will be because your legacy is every life you touch it's not one thing it's everything it's everybody who's ever watched a
show and decided from watching that show that they were going to go back to school or leave an abusive relationship it's every so it's you who was inspired so you're part of my legacy that's right hello thank you speaking of that have you seen some of the responses on social media from audiences about the movie I I I saw this thing from a person named Pablo who wrote can't stop crying I'm a man and this movie made me realize how much I love my wife oh wow that was one of the things I read another
man tweeted that it's been a long time since I have cried and during the last song all my depression he said manage to leave my soul a woman named Lisa posted on Facebook I have never in my life been so deeply affected by any movie ever ever ever it was really cathartic for people and I'm wondering how that response in the vein of every life you touched everybody who saw it who was moved whose heart was expanded Who Loved a little bit more that's now a part of your legacy I'd say it it reinforces the
hope and the good of people and how much we need each other uh the only thing I set out to do was to tap into an as an authentic place as possible and myself and everybody I asked to make this movie to tell the story of a human story of people that are going to deal with their family life uh trauma as a child Addiction in a real way and love in this life and finding your voice I thought even from the beginning why why am I going to make this movie at 40 years old
why am I going to direct cuz I thought if I can do this if I can really tap into what it is for me all of those things in a story make it cinematic oh singers that's a way and and that in that world that could be cinematic but if I could really hone in and always the anchors are all these things that I personally can relate to and everybody in the movie The Hope is you will relate to it and movies for me since I was a child have always uh shattered me in a
way that broke me apart and then I was able to put myself back together because it it it tapped something in me that I didn't feel alone and I thought if I could do that for you then that's a reason why I'm here and and that Al all comes down so when I hear when I hear you read that it reinforces my deep feeling that how much we need each other and how much we actually do love each other and what was said here and how much we actually do relate to each other no matter
what so I believe and I know you know this too that people are craving this authenticity people are craving a sense of goodness and and conviction and I think people both outside and inside of Hollywood see that in you it's what Lady Gaga and Sam Elliott have said about working with you how did you cultivate that personal character uh me come right away parents yeah upbringing um age uh going through Strife going through a failure and then coming out the other side um you know I think all those things meditation massive huge huge thing for
me meditation is big prayer re regularly real yeah regular meditation the real deal yeah I don't know what I mean real for me yeah 20 minutes a day yeah yeah um I need structure yeah yeah so yeah my hope is that the thing that I realized when I was in my late 20s is that oh gosh if I don't get my stuff together I'm not going to fulfill my potential as a human being and and I think that started a path that I just every day I wake up and I try to be present and
we spoke right before here what was the what was I wanted to show my gratitude today that's the fact that I want to show my gratitude to you today and I don't want you to like me or fear me or think a certain way about me or show you a person that I think I'm trying to show you but just be myself yeah is such a blessing uh and that's the goal I just want to be here for you cuz I asked I asked uh Bradley before when we met earlier like what is your because
I do this for all the guests what is your intention tell me what you want to get out of this conversation so that at the end of the convers ation we don't leave and I say oh you wanted this and he said why didn't you ask me that he said I just want gratitude so but I learned that from you yeah did you learn that from me coming [Music] up so much of what we saw on the the screen with the character that you created also felt like it was coming from this really authentic space
of you how much of you was him and him was you I mean that's a tough question you know all of me was him right because I literally am him uh um but oh that's right yeah no no but but no it's a hard thing to answer you know but it is true all and because I wrote co-wrote it I was able to make things much much easier for myself that I wouldn't have to act or create an imaginary circumstances little things about Jackson I could beine a relationship to and some sometimes it was as
practical as casting my dog to play Jackson's dog or Jackson's ear doctor to be my ear doctor but but um then at the same time and the one thing I learned from I went in in Las Vegas I went and sang with Lady Gaga it was crazy but the thing that I realized it just reinforced when I watched the video I thank God I created a character because that was like some dorky guy from Philadelphia up on the head and I so I always was not that was not Jackson M yeah not even for a
second cuz people have drawn parallels to your life and Jackson M's life uh with the character and you've said that in creating this particular piece of art that you actually hope people did learn more about you or a lot about you I mean I think anytime your art is uh you put your art out there and it's as personal as you can make it you can learn everything uh about that person uh by the art that they make you know rain Wilson said this to me once that art is just another form of prayer and
that's what I felt when I was watching wow your film that it was it was like a prayer it was an offering that it came out of a Sacred Space that you were offering the story this work every single piece of information that you laid there on the screen in a in a in a sensual way that it was like an offering It Felt Like a Prayer it it that's very accurate yes I would say that's that there what it felt like yeah and and the beautiful thing about it was it was a communal offering
and that's what I love film making so much so it wasn't just me it was everybody who had anything to do from with the movie and what did this movie say about who you are as a person yeah you mean the story itself or all of it the making of it all of it that I know that I at the end of this at the end of this journey as you you said you've already laid it down but at the end you you came into what part of yourself by doing this oh oh oh uh
well I found myself in a place of uh utter Serenity artistically where I was in the right place at the right time every day I was working on this movie that was a wonderful feeling um it also gave me the confidence to keep doing it uh and also made me realize just how much how much more powerful we are when we work together the fact that I could have a dream and then all of these people that helped and worked on the movie and put all of themselves and I demand it a lot they they
we all work together to fulfill that dream I mean that that gave me a lot of confidence about community and about going further what what we can all create together when we work together because it that is the thing I love about film making it is a collaborative art form so does Lady Gaga have any advice for you about singing live in front of tens of millions and millions and almost a billion people you know her best advice and she gave it to me when we were shooting the drag bar scene when Jackson sings when
he's waiting for her to come out of the the dressing room um I sang it once and she came up to me and just whispered she said you don't have to don't don't try to sing it and and it it was the best it was the best Direction and just when I just just saying if I'm actually like acting I'm actually talking when you're talking you're you're telling a story when you sing and then all of a sudden all the work just comes through without you trying to force it so her best advice to me
about singing was just try not to sing will you which is interesting which is kind of like acting cuz you're trying to get people not to act just to to actually just behave and get out of your head will you be the most nervous you've ever been when you're singing up there on the you know my hope is that I won't be nervous at all okay you know my hope is that cuz I no because I want to enjoy it I want to enjoy it that's true and if you're nervous you you'll miss yeah you
tend not to enjoy it if you're your yeah your mind's raising I just want to be completely present I think you're going to be you're just going to ride that wave right into the moment because you would have rehearsed the day before you're going to know what you're doing so the only and we did sing Everything live in the movie so it's not like I haven't had that experience it is much different on live television at the Oscars and Jackson main doesn't exist anymore um uh but but you what was terrifying was going in Vegas
when there was no rehearsal and I was watching the show and just got up there uh and also I just felt like I didn't want to let her down because she had just done this incredible show for two hours and I'm going to ruin it in the last five minutes um but no I'm going to put the work in yes and so the hope is when you put the work in then you can just enjoy it and then you give it away and that's the whole thing is people want to hear that song I have
no desire to sing that song at the Oscars but I have a desire for people to hear something they want to hear and you're doing that for us that's right thank you so Lady Gaga said this about you she said she ran from Stephanie for a long time and then she put on a superhero cape and called herself Lady Gaga and that you challenged her to do a deep dive into a place where she had to see herself again where I had to be Stephanie again again she said how did you do that I hope
I did that through example that she saw that I was holding her hand and we were doing it uh walking down the path together uh and that was part of the the benefit of being able to act in the movie I directed she put the work in you know I I actually knew that she wasn't in that place and I asked the studio if we could wait two months which as you know is a big deal and we just doubled down and we worked with two acting coaches that I that I've learned that I've Loved
over the years Susan Batson yeah and Elizabeth Kemp who has since passed who was a major influence and teacher in my life um and she just put the work in uh because all I was interested as I said was having something real and authentic and I thought that Eric uh will and I wrote a character that if she dug deep she could find a real authentic way to inhabit that role of Aly and uh and she put the work in and then she was just magnificent best actress nominee yeah hello and that must have been
rewarding to you too having her get nominated and Sam and Sam oh okay so when Sam got nominated oh no come on come on it amazing amazing and yesterday the it was a great thing so they they ask you all to go on these risers and they take a photo and it takes a long time to for everybody to go up yeah yeah and Stephanie was two people to my left and then Sam was like 10 and I was just and Tom o Sandage the sound mixer and Mark Ronson who wrote a song was over
there but I was just watching I spent a lot of the 45 minutes while they were calling names and were're just standing there just looking at the two of them and thinking like this is I felt just so grateful it was amazing yes and seeing Sam Elliott who's been in this business for over half a century just you know up there and I could tell that he was he I I think he was really proud enjoying it yeah comment up [Music] I think this is so important too the critics say you redefine how masculinity actually
is portrayed in a film it feels fresh and we get to see a variety of male characters as being vulnerable did you notice that when you're watching it's an emotional U Sam Elliot and Dave Chappelle and Andrew Dice Clay and Anthony rone and dra dragar yeah Shangela Shangela yeah and Willam yeah so was that one of your intentions yeah absolutely uh and specifically Sam Elliott I thought there was a meta aspect to Sam to Watching Sam Elliott who we've seen in so many movies play this sort of wise Sage it's got it all together what
happens when we watch that actor with that voice just had to endure life filled with resentment uh and that was one of the things I when I first pitched the movie to Sam and I asked him to come over I said listen I want to see you play a guy who has that is the thing that you've been holding on to your whole life that that that interests me um Andrew Dice Clay uh I wanted to just strip him completely and place somebody just filled with love you know and be vulnerable and and he was
very vulnerable in this movie you know his left eye he can't see out of barely and that's why he always wears glasses so for him to take his glasses off and you can see that he calls it the Dead Eye that was a very vulnerable thing for an actor to do and he was willing to do that Dave Chappelle always that was the case I wanted him to play noodles just because of what Dave's gone through in his life that I thought that he could really tap into a real place for himself when he's giving
Jackson that advice at the crossroads of what to do and the choices that noodles SL Dave has made in a lot of ways but I think you know that's just the way men have behaved in my life you know I was thinking about my uncle and my father I didn't see a lot of emotion and and there were a lot of pauses before emotional moments growing up watching Men and and and that always Crush me as a child watching my father cry you literally see them choking oh yeah I remember when my grandfather died and
we were in the hospital and my uncle who I idolized was there and he came and my father was there and him touching my father's shoulder and my father was sort of the serate child from my mother's side of the family she had a wonderful Italian family he was sort of adopted by them in a lot of ways and my uncle said to him he loved you like a son and and and and that was just a moment seeing them both break down that was ingrained in my brain forever your father passed your father Charles
passed away in 2011 yeah the two of you I have read were very close and you describe this as a seminal moment in your life that actually shifted into a new reality uh I read that he died in your arms yeah yeah what was it like for you to to to Bear witness to that um yeah yeah it was everything it was the biggest gift he gave me the second biggest gift having me bringing me into this life and then him allowing me to be witness to his passing was equally as huge and it really
honestly felt like he was cradled his head was right here and when he took the last breath I honestly felt like it went into me and I never seen anything the same since and I stopped sweating stuff that I was sweating before that uh it changed the way I was as an actor by like the next day and I just started to live my life in a different way it was I had W I'd seen someone die before but but losing my father in that way it it was um yeah it was it was was
changed everything yeah I I I knew that that would be a tough question for you but I wanted to ask it because I I wanted to have this conversation I just believe I have seen it so many times myself and feel that when somebody who loves you dies and I'd never heard you talk about like his last breath going into you but I feel and know in my spirit that that's what happens that people who have loved you here in this dense plane when they pass the energy of them abides with you in a way
that it absolutely could not when they were in the dense body that something happens in the transfer that's how I experienced it if I if you told me I I can't even believe you're saying this cuz this is what I know to be true yeah I mean I could I can tell you exactly I remember his head and his bald balding head the the the the the texture of his Linens and then I remember raising my head and my dog Charlotte at the time was there at the bed and it was night time and exactly
the clock everything I remember that moment and I looked up and I thought everything was different and I think that's because you actually if you're open to receive it you become more expanded you become bigger that the spirit of that person comes in and abides with you in a way that was not possible in the density of the of the Earth plane I hope so and so you actually become the better for it yes did you feel that question oh no question stronger more open more willing to fail because of him and because of that
transference and there's a knowingness that happens that you didn't know before right there's a lot of knowingness I mean the the reality of mortality uh hits you like a ton of bricks and grows you up right there coming [Music] up so you're a father now and you said that your father comes to you in your dreams are those dreams healing for you oh yeah I I I I I cherish them oh I love when he's when he's in my dreams oh yeah yeah it's funny in the beginning he was very sick in my dreams and
now in my dreams he's healthy really yeah yeah he was very sick in my dreams the first couple years and now um when he comes he he he's like 50 years old he's he's pretty healthy yeah you said that having a family has been a miracle how so how is how is how has that changed you it's changed everything yeah I mean uh our daughter is uh she's incredible and I see my father and her quite often and I can't believe I'm going to admit this but I have in moments when she was a child
and I was just in the room with her I would say uh I I would say [Laughter] dad cuz some there's some moments where she looks just like my father and I like like Dad is this you I've watched too many movies so you shared with us earlier about what you do that it's meditation every day you seem pretty grounded like you're handling this whole lifestyle Hollywood all of it it it has its place with you it also is like you you know that movie I think it was a Broadcast News yeah sure yeah when
William Hurt looks at Albert Brooks and uh ask what do you do when your real life exceeds your dreams and uh I think Albert Brooks answered keep it to yourself that's good advice so you've had the quite the you've had quite this rise what what does it mean to be able to fulfill your dreams and be able to as you were saying with this film just live out the greatest artistic expression of it provides uh the the uh the courage to keep going and expanding you know it's funny I was when I was in the
audience I never even when I was a kid I never had you know where do you see yourself in 5 years or a board for some reason that never that never was something that spoke to me but maybe that's because I knew I wanted to make movies since I was 12 and I was almost burdened by that knowledge in some ways but the thing the thing that that I feel like for examp like if this movie gave me anything it's almost like if my if my like landscape of vision was like this before it just
went like that and I feel like okay now oh I almost now I see other potential you know other an an ability to tell stories to keep telling stories that I think that fear had made it you know put blinders on and now so it's expanded it's expanded my my my uh inspiration to create you you just can't do better than that and a lot of people as you know think people become actors because they want to be famous and you've described Fame as I think you called it a a song and cacophony of noise
yeah and then silence what do you mean by that what is well in terms of this this property at stars born and how there an element of it which as unavoidable as how do you deal with Fame and I and I didn't want to have any I just didn't have an interest of showing like a press conference or being chased by Paparazzi but so I thought what is the sort of impact of Fame and I thought sonically is how I think about Fame where you're with a cacophony of noise at the beginning of the movie
and then a and silence so that you're you know I'm here with you with all of you and it feels wonderful and I'm filled and then I'm going to leave and then you know you have to readjust and and that that that's a transition that that you have to make and that's why family is everything and and that was part of why I wanted to tell the story of Jackson is because he didn't curate any other aspect of his life and because this is that's that's going to go and so that that's how I the
fame part yeah the fame part yeah but personally I had the benefit of Hangover was really the first time that I felt that shift um and I was 36 at the time I think and I had also been working as an actor for so long and I'd seen so many people go through it that I I I was very lucky that it didn't it didn't happen when I was like 20 so I always knew the reality of that it's never going to give me anything that I want nor does it have anything to do with
me really but isn't it interesting that you have also cultivated meditation and being able to Center yourself because when the silence comes you have to be able to be comfortable with the silence and okay with yourself in order to do that you have to be I want to be comfortable myself no matter what whether I became famous or not would have nothing to do with whether I needed to do the work on myself as a human being just being alive I think necessitates the work that's needed yeah we can see you've been doing some work
there Mr Cooper thank you so much a great thank you comment up [Music] in today's Super Soul short we traveled to the United Kingdom to meet the founders of the outdoor swimming Society two women who became friends after challenging their fears to dive deep and Chase the sublime [Music] there is always that element of the unknown on a swim of discomfort and risk fear of the cold of the deep of not being fit [Music] enough but that plunge into shared silence is a coming home everything's lips away [Music] [Music] [Music] we have been swimming together
for years all over the country we met in the river and there was an immediate [Music] empathy our thing is discovering we enjoy the freedom of a good Adventure when we try and you swim we look at where we're going the tides the weather the route but at some point we just get in [Music] [Music] people have always swam but when we started the outdoor swimming Society most people thought rivers and lakes were dirty dangerous or illegal that's all changed it's the getting we find hard not the being in that step forward from the shoreline
Ki calls it her eore moment when we stand on the water's edge warm and dry and regret what's ahead but we love the intensity in deep water your life is always in your right hands [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] there's a beauty out there and a purity which I think we both embrace it's good to swim with someone with a poet's heart [Music] we will continue to seek these discomforts to get cold and too tired to find an over come fears but simultaneously to experience what feels like life's biggest Freedom fire the simplest of choices
sink or swim float or flounder to transform from ordinary to briefly extraordinary [Music] [Music]
