Male DJ:
Hey, welcome back,
and thanks for joining us.

3
00:00:40,610 --> 00:00:42,360
I'm here with Nina Brokaw.

4
00:00:42,443 --> 00:00:44,527
If you're anything like me,
you know her as the maker

5
00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:48,360
of atmospheric,
wildly emotional, dreamy music.

6
00:00:48,443 --> 00:00:50,735
Her last album "Tethered"
was certainly a hit

7
00:00:50,819 --> 00:00:52,068
around our parts.

8
00:00:52,151 --> 00:00:53,485
Nina, thanks for joining us.

9
00:00:53,568 --> 00:00:54,902
Nina:
Thanks for having me.

00:00:54,985 --> 00:00:57,026
DJ:
So, are you out on tour

11
00:00:57,110 --> 00:01:00,026
still supporting "Tethered"?

12
00:01:00,110 --> 00:01:02,902
Nina:
This is just
like a little mini-tour.

13
00:01:02,985 --> 00:01:05,235
I'm opening for
some friends of mine.

14
00:01:05,318 --> 00:01:08,276
You know, "Tethered" came out
about three years ago, so--

15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,944
DJ:
Well, yeah, you said it,

16
00:01:10,026 --> 00:01:12,443
I didn't say it, but now
that you brought it up,

17
00:01:12,527 --> 00:01:14,860
the fans are curious
and wondering

18
00:01:14,944 --> 00:01:16,652
is there something percolating
in there?

19
00:01:16,735 --> 00:01:19,485
I know your records
are often very personal,

20
00:01:19,568 --> 00:01:22,985
but can we get a little teaser,
anything?

21
00:01:23,068 --> 00:01:25,819
Nina:
Well, I'm still kind of
dreaming it up at this point,

22
00:01:25,902 --> 00:01:28,527
so, yeah, I don't know.

23
00:01:28,610 --> 00:01:31,944
DJ:
Cool, cool.
So you're taking your time.

24
00:01:32,026 --> 00:01:35,527
But I know that you actually
wrote and recorded "Tethered"

25
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:38,610
in, like, 48 hours, so...

26
00:01:38,694 --> 00:01:41,652
Nina:
Yeah, but it doesn't
always happen that way.

27
00:01:41,735 --> 00:01:44,527
DJ:
Oh, of course. Totally.

28
00:01:44,610 --> 00:01:46,026
Nina:
I mean, yeah,

29
00:01:46,110 --> 00:01:48,819
sometimes it comes
and it's simple

30
00:01:48,902 --> 00:01:50,610
and it just spills out,

31
00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:54,068
and sometimes it comes
and it's not easy, it's hard,

32
00:01:54,151 --> 00:01:58,235
and it's...
it's just fucking hard,

33
00:01:58,318 --> 00:02:00,110
so can you just--

I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to keep asking about--

57
00:05:39,235 --> 00:05:41,610
Nina:
No, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to be defensive.

58
00:05:41,694 --> 00:05:44,527
It's just for me,
it's almost like--

59
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:47,777
there's, like,
a shadow or something

60
00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:50,860
that's following me around
and pulling me towards it.

61
00:05:50,944 --> 00:05:53,193
And I've been resisting it
for a long time,

62
00:05:53,276 --> 00:05:56,026
but you just can't live
with a shadow, you know,

63
00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:59,527
so I think I just
have to dive in.

64
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:02,360
But I don't know,
it's terrifying.

65
00:06:02,443 --> 00:06:05,193
I'm scared
I'm not gonna get it right.

66
00:06:05,276 --> 00:06:07,735
I'm scared of what's in there.

67
00:06:07,819 --> 00:06:10,443
It's just--
Yeah, I don't know.

for three months.

114

115

Go ahead.

121
00:16:57,568 --> 00:17:01,360
When I met you
three years ago...

122
00:17:01,443 --> 00:17:04,443
I just knew that I had met
the love of my life.

123
00:17:04,527 --> 00:17:07,944
And I'm pretty sure
you felt the same way.

124
00:17:09,735 --> 00:17:12,068
We were so in love.

125
00:17:12,151 --> 00:17:16,151
We talked about
getting married...

126
00:17:16,235 --> 00:17:18,068
and having kids.

127
00:17:20,235 --> 00:17:22,777
But you just destroyed it.

128
00:17:26,068 --> 00:17:29,568
When I became successful...

129
00:17:29,652 --> 00:17:30,819
you just--

130
00:17:32,485 --> 00:17:34,735
you became jealous,

131
00:17:34,819 --> 00:17:38,151
petty, resentful,

132
00:17:38,235 --> 00:17:41,318
angry...

133
00:17:41,402 --> 00:17:44,318
and you destroyed
what we had.

134
00:17:46,819 --> 00:17:50,151
I felt like
you stopped loving me.

135
00:17:51,985 --> 00:17:55,360
You made me feel terrible
about myself.

136
00:17:55,443 --> 00:17:59,568
And you took away
the most important
thing to me--

137
00:17:59,652 --> 00:18:01,026
us.

138
00:18:40,568 --> 00:18:42,944
Well, it's difficult

139
00:18:43,026 --> 00:18:46,944
when the person you're with
is more successful than you

140
00:18:47,026 --> 00:18:50,860
and...
more talented than you...

141
00:18:53,819 --> 00:18:57,985
...just generally
a better person than you.

142
00:18:58,068 --> 00:19:00,068
It changed me.

143
00:19:03,902 --> 00:19:06,527
I didn't recognize myself.

144
00:19:08,402 --> 00:19:10,735
I was jealous.

145
00:19:14,694 --> 00:19:16,860
And I'm sorry.

146
00:19:18,276 --> 00:19:20,068
But I need to get over you.

147
00:19:25,568 --> 00:19:27,235
I see these images.

148
00:19:27,318 --> 00:19:30,902
They're everywhere.

149
00:19:32,568 --> 00:19:37,151
Like, I'll be taking a walk...

150
00:19:37,235 --> 00:19:40,735
and I'll see the image of us.

151
00:19:42,652 --> 00:19:46,568
Or even if
I'm at a coffee shop,

152
00:19:46,652 --> 00:19:50,735
I'll turn around
and it'll be playing
on the wall.

153
00:19:52,485 --> 00:19:55,110
I can't get away from it.

154
00:19:57,402 --> 00:19:59,819
It's like
you're haunting me.

155
00:20:02,610 --> 00:20:05,485
And I understand why
you don't want to talk to me.

156
00:20:07,026 --> 00:20:09,110
But you can't
just shut me out.

157
00:20:12,902 --> 00:20:15,443
I still carry you with me.

158
00:20:18,694 --> 00:20:20,777
I don't know what to do.

159
00:20:36,819 --> 00:20:39,902
So...

160
00:20:39,985 --> 00:20:42,485
is there any chance for us,
or...?

161
00:20:45,318 --> 00:20:47,318
