Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so let's get to this trending report.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Tanya okay so Dochi was on the cover of Cosmopolitan,
where she opened up about why she needed to process
a breakup before writing her song Denial as a River.
It's clear in the lyrics that this song explores the
pain of heartbreak, self deception, and the complexity of moving on.
So she says, sometimes I have to process things before
I can talk about them, because if I try to

(00:23):
do it immediately, I'm going to say the wrong thing.
That song took a year to process, and I talked
about three different x's in that song. People think it's
just one, but it really opened my mind to the

just trying to like find the clues on who it's
about and all the drama, but we're not actually thinking
about the human that is, like the artist and what

a suit. Whoa wow.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
So if you were to release a song, would you
tell everybody what the inspiration was or leave it up
to interpretations on you?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I feel like, knowing me, I would elude like there's
no way I would make it secretive or in any
way shape or form. But then I feel like it
bites you and ends up biting you.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
