Welcome All You Pop Stars!
It’s great to have you here with us today.
Let’s do The Work as a group, popcorn style. First we’ll pick a stressful thought that everyone can relate to. Then I’ll ask the four questions of The Work and you’ll pop in with your answers as they come up for you.
There’s only one condition. You have to answer with a lyric from one of your songs. Is that cool with you guys?
Rihanna: Work, work, work, work, work, work.
Ok, Let’s Pick A Stressful Thought
Chainsmokers: I need you, I need you, I need you right now. Yeah, I need you right now. So don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me down.”
Todd: Ok, good one! Can everyone identify a time when you had this thought, “I need you”? Yeah? Ok, great! Let’s do The Work. Get really really close to that situation when you felt you needed someone. “You need them, is that true?
Adele: Yes.
Selena: Yeah.
Daya: Yep.
Justin: Yes.
Todd: Can you absolutely know it’s true that you need them?
The Weekend: No.
Chainsmokers: Yes.
Flo Rida: No.
G-Eazy: No.
Todd: How Do You React, What Happens, When You Believe That Thought That You Need Them?
Salina: I’m so sick on that same old love, my body’s had enough!
Justin: I’m sorry, yeah, sorry, yeah, sorry.
Twenty One Pilots: We’re stressed out.
Alessia: I’m stand-offish, don’t want what you’re offerin’.
Salina: Too hard to breath, I’m on my knees right now ‘ow.
Fetty Wap: Every night I’m losing sleep. I don’t want to live my life without you. Can’t go on another night without out you.
Adele: My God, this reminds me of when we were young. It was just like a movie. It was just like a song.
One Direction: Now my heart’s breaking and I don’t know what to do.
Tori: I’m hollow.
Todd: Who Would You Be Without The Thought That You Need Them?
Meghan: I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you. I’m gonna hold you like I’m saying goodbye.
Justin: And baby I be moving on.
John: My head’s underwater, but I’m breathing fine.
Todd: Let’s Turn It Around To “I Don’t Need Them.” Any Examples How This Could Be As True?
G-Eazy: Oh, it’s just me, myself, and I, solo ride until I die, ’cause I got me for life.
Ed: Hearts were never broken, and time’s forever frozen still.
Zara: I will never forget you, and you’ll always be by my side till the day I die.
Dierks: I wish it could’ve worked out
But I’m gettin’ over you now
On a beach towel
With my shades on
My drink’s up
And the sun’s out
Huh, I’m somewhere on a beach
Have a great week,
Todd
