0:00
I come into your room, there's stuff everywhere,
0:05
there's clothes everywhere, I come in,
0:07
there's stuff everywhere, you're in the bathroom,
0:09
I just hear, I don't know how to talk to you,
0:12
it's like playing so loud, I'm a speaker,
0:14
suddenly we're rolling around on the floor,
0:17
like the best way to describe it.
0:18
Because you caught me, I felt like that I need,
0:21
a song hadn't been calling to me until that moment
0:23
and I felt I needed to listen to that song.
0:25
And then like what proceeded after was,
0:29
I can only describe it as like a tantrum,
0:31
like we were on the floor.
0:33
We were on the floor, like rolling.
0:35
We were rolling around, we were screaming.
0:39
It was good though, like I don't want it to sound,
0:41
like it was bad, like anyway,
0:42
we were in the living room, we fell to the ground
0:46
and we were rolling around and I was like,
0:48
I need to listen to, too good,
0:52
I need to listen to, too good by Drake.
0:54
And I was trying to play, I was like,
0:55
is it Drake generally, is it other Drake songs?
0:58
It was kind of just specifically that song,
1:00
but then we were listening to it and it was like,
1:02
we were delving into his teachings.
1:04
Last night I got high as the expectations
1:07
and I was like, whoa, Nick, we really do get high
1:09
as the expectations, I guess it's high as your expectations,
1:12
but like that really moved me in that moment.
1:15
I was like, whoa, like sometimes we get as high as our expectations.
1:20
We expect so much, so that's how high we have to get.
1:22
I was really needing to work something out
1:24
and I was like, I cannot believe like my songs
1:27
in previous Shrooms Trip, I'm not even a Drake fan, you guys.
1:30
Like I don't even like Drake like that.
1:31
Like my previous songs I'd listen to air,
1:34
the air soundtrack from the Virgin Suicides,
1:37
I'd listen to American Teenager, I'd listen to Kelly Uchis,
1:39
like I've listened to like me flying all the way to California
1:43
to take it to a place of Toronto.
1:45
The Shrooms were demanding that I go mentally
1:47
to a place of Toronto.
1:49
They were trapping you in Toronto.
1:50
They were trapping me in Toronto.
1:52
But then we were listening to lyrics and I was like,
1:54
I don't know that like I even relate to these lyrics that much.
1:58
I feel like I am processing Drake's pain right now.
2:01
Like I feel like I was just realizing that Drake was in a lot of pain
2:05
and I was carrying like a lot of his pain
2:08
and like then we started playing American Teenager
2:10
which we wept and we cried and I saw that I had a battle in the mirror.
2:14
Oh, we think no other like my face.
2:16
I was like my face is wet and I didn't realize that I was crying
2:19
and then I was crying, I was weeping, we were laughing.
2:21
But as I was working out all this stuff in myself,
2:24
I do also feel I was working something through for Drake.
2:27
I thought about DMing him afterwards.
2:28
I thought about saying Drake.
2:30
We were saying like we as a society like carries so much of Drake's pain.
2:34
We carry so much of Drake's pain and like I don't think that we realize
2:37
how much of Drake's pain we carry on it on a day-to-day basis and like
2:42
he's in a lot of pain.
2:43
It was a major theme of our trip you guys.
2:45
It was like a roommate like working it out.
2:48
Like we are going to get those demons out.
2:50
Oh yeah, that was the other thing as well.
2:52
We were in the tantrum room and I was freaking out.
2:54
I was like I have a lot of demons inside of me and you were like
2:57
we're going to get them out.
2:59
We're going to get them out.
3:02
I just felt like things were like coming from me.
3:07
I genuinely felt like I was giving birth and Nick was my doula.
3:10
And then Nick was giving birth and I was his doula.
3:14
We were both working through something,
3:15
but we were also working through something for Drake.
3:18
Like I feel like a major spiritual shift for Drake occurred last night.
3:22
And I don't know if he knows what work we did for him.
3:25
I think his melancholy is so relatable.
3:28
Like it really touched us.
3:30
It really touched us.
3:31
There was something like he called out to us in our altered state.
3:34
And also we said, Drake, if you wake up tomorrow
3:38
and you're feeling a few pounds lighter, you're welcome.
3:41
I know I was like, I'm going to DM him like Drake,
3:43
you might notice you will begin to cough in four days.
3:46
Things have changed for you in ways you cannot understand.
3:50
I just feel like I do, I feel like Drake should maybe compensate me
3:54
for the healing I did for him because I did a healing for myself too.
3:57
But I wasn't expecting to be called to Drake.
4:00
We were rolling on the floor of the living room like,
4:02
oh, oh, Drake, Drake, like, we were like straight.
4:10
Because what was happening is I was trying to understand if the lyrics
4:12
applied to me, but then I was like, he's just in a lot of pain.
4:15
It's just, it's just, it's not my pain.
4:18
No, my pain is Drake's pain and like you said,
4:23
how much of us have been unknowingly carrying Drake's pain for years.
4:27
That was more of a like, it was a different pain than Ethel's pain.
4:31
It was a, well Ethel was the conduit for our pain.
4:34
Like Ethel actually was transforming me.
4:38
That was all Drake's pain.
4:40
That was like, I don't think any of it.
4:42
You guys, if you want to understand like a fraction of what was going on,
4:46
like play American teenager.
4:48
On a loop 10 times and just imagine the things that would come up for you.
4:51
Picture like you're literally laying in the dirt, like,
4:55
spread out, watching the sunset over a hillside that's in front of like,
5:00
At the sobbing felt so good.
5:02
I feel like I learned so much.
5:04
I felt so connected with my grandfather who passed several years ago.
5:07
I felt like I felt him so much like around me.
5:11
I felt so much love.
5:12
I felt so much peace.
5:13
I felt so much acceptance.
5:16
I felt so much beauty and joy alongside the things I was feeling for Drake.
5:20
But for myself, it was just like,
