thanks leena your the best !!

'A Beautiful piece of music feels like I'm experiencing life for the first time, every single time' 🙌 This is how Better Days & Never Leave make me feel. You've already 'left something beautiful', but I cant wait to hear or see what else you have to give to the world ✨

I’m happy for you Josh. To say yes to what you want in life at 35 is a blessing. I look forward to seeing what you do next on your creative journey. You got this 😊

Thanks Amy! Very kind of you. As with everything, it's always a work in progress, but recent months felt significant enough for me to make a record of my thoughts in this video. It's as much for me to look back on as it is to share with everyone

This was gorgeously shot, and so intimately poignant ;-; Living life in pockets of permission is truly something worth breaking free of.

Dude, Im so glad i
I got to watch this. I resonated with a lot of this especially as I'm turning 34 this year. I love how you reference wanting to leave something beautiful behind and connect with the divine. Great video and great work. Keep at it.
