There is something I find so profoundly beautiful with the lonely spaceman.
You know, whether it's jury Gagarin or if it's David Bowie's major Tom, you know, these kind of, the idea of that person floating around outside of our world and the planet just keeps on doing whatever it's doing, completely irregardless of the fact that one, it really points out to our own insignificance, doesn't it?
You know, individually?

Listen on for their spoiler filled conversation.
I'm so happy to be here with Johan.
I watched a cut like a year and a half ago, and it's really blossomed into such a beautiful meditation.
Just, I cried.
I felt so many things.
But the main thing was just completely immersed into this world, and I was there with them.
And we were talking about this earlier, that the cut that I watched before, it was more focused on Adam, but this cut really just was about both of them.
And the love story came through so well, and it was just beautiful.
I really like it.
Again, to talk about a couple of things.
