      It's funny. One of the reason I love him so much is that I am autistic and music is the main way I connect with my emotions. I really can't interpret my emotions in my day to day life. Fred's music has allowed me to experience more complex emotions that I didn't think possible. It's incredible. I don't know how he does it, but man.

      So true. A lot of us amateur producers walked so Fred could run. The concept of this performance isn't new by any means, but Fred has it polished in a way that only someone who came at the time he did, could do. The promise of this was sold to a generation of Beta testing bed room producers who gave up, grew up etc before they could put their 10k hours in, with the tools that actually did the job. That takes absolutely nothing away him, but just saying he is standing on the shoulders of many. And it's a beautiful thing.

My husband watched this and was very touched. He insisted I take some time to watch. I totally teared up too. We laid in bed, closed our eyes and listened again together with the lights off. We don't get much peace or time alone together with 2 little kids. This was a magical moment though. Electronic music has never touched our souls quite like this. This tiny desk concert was powerful. Our 3 year old also just adores Fred's music. She dances and sings her little heart out to it during our family dance parties. Thank you Fred for being a light to these parents this year. It takes a lot to be vulnerable and put yourself out there, so happy for your success.

I don’t know what you have been through but I feel like you found and sustained some incredible strength to share you life with us. This session will become more organic, and important to everyone who hears it the longer they enjoy this life. God bless.

Now, I've sat down through this whole video with tears in my eyes, feeling happy, sad, nostalgic, grateful, and completely out of myself. Fred himself is art at its purest form, I am just glad to be alive at the same time he's doing all of it.

I have been glued to the screen for it's entirety. I was a bit bummed out to be at work today, I am mildly hungover, quite tired, and yet the past 27 minutes feel like they are the perfect proper intro to what will be a monumental and fantastic year ahead.
