Thats what ive been singing all my life. And i wanted to work with seymour stein. I finally got to work with seymour stein. Not only that but that was a bucket list thing . Yeah. And i think you have to be able to finally, you know its a singers record but its really a fun show. The way it mixed together. You know, i was worried. The only thing is when i first started, i would play, like because this album goes through pretty easily and its pleasant and its got emmy lou on it, its got vince gill. My gosh. Its got Willie Nelson and Allison Krauss and jewel. Actually jewel. I texted jewel, i still have the text. This is cyndi, big fan. She probably died. Got your number from allison. Do you still yodel . And if this isnt jewel just chalk this up to another crazy thing. I swear to god. She yodels on it with you . Yeah.

Did you think you would be on the cover of aarp . No. But what i wanted was to project life. And livelihood and, you know, if you keep yourself first of all, im a singer so singers have to be athletes. You got to take care of yourself. If you dont you cant sing and its not good.

I think a breakup pretty much makes sense with the words. So we kind of built the whole me. It reveals itself, doesnt it . Exactly. And theres also a lot of depth in this cd. A lot of heart ache i think its fair to say. Yeah. I lost my mom. I went through a divorce. I had a lot to mourn. And i was trying to figure out how to do that. And when i realized that when i try to stop making sense of everything, i was able to breathe, i was able to have joy. And so i just tried to stop defining everything and controlling everything. Because im very controlling. And it ended up being the best decision i could make. Thats why i named the record that.
