(Music)

00:00:27,000 --> 00:03:35,599
(Violin music)

3
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:41,997
(Applause)

4
00:03:41,997 --> 00:03:44,270
Thank you.

5
00:03:44,270 --> 00:03:46,316
Thank you so much.

6
00:03:46,316 --> 00:03:48,001
Got to catch my breath.

7
00:03:48,001 --> 00:03:49,744
I am out of shape but --

8
00:03:50,142 --> 00:03:53,343
I am going to play for you one more song tonight,
or this afternoon.

9
00:03:53,343 --> 00:03:55,238
And this is a really meaningful song to me

10
00:03:55,238 --> 00:03:58,951
and I just wanted to tell you a little about 
what it means to me.

11
00:03:58,951 --> 00:04:00,965
This song is called "Transcendence."

12
00:04:00,965 --> 00:04:03,978
And I wrote it at the time of my life,
I was kind of, probably,

13
00:04:03,978 --> 00:04:05,167
at the lowest point of my life.

14
00:04:05,167 --> 00:04:07,097
I didn't quite know who I was.

15
00:04:07,097 --> 00:04:10,742
And I was surprised at
the person that I thought I was finding.

16
00:04:10,742 --> 00:04:14,200
And I wrote this song
and I called it "Transcendence"

17
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,152
because 'to transcend' means not just

18
00:04:16,152 --> 00:04:19,402
to get through something
or get passed something,

19
00:04:19,402 --> 00:04:21,887
but it means to completely
overcome something

20
00:04:21,887 --> 00:04:23,523
and become better for it.

21
00:04:23,523 --> 00:04:28,532
So in my own life I found that
during that time period

22
00:04:28,532 --> 00:04:33,856
I found passion and I found that I was able 
express myself through something I love.

23
00:04:33,856 --> 00:04:38,807
And I really think that's kind of what saved me, 
and helped me in that time of my life.

24
00:04:38,807 --> 00:04:41,062
And I love being able to share it
with other people now --

25
00:04:41,062 --> 00:04:43,096
And just like it's been said
over and over again,

26
00:04:43,096 --> 00:04:46,123
by finding passion and
by sharing with other people

27
00:04:46,123 --> 00:04:48,670
we are able to work from the inside out.

28
00:04:48,670 --> 00:04:50,385
And that's how we find happiness.

29
00:04:50,385 --> 00:04:53,383
So I just want to encourage you all
to take what you've learned today

30
00:04:53,383 --> 00:04:56,321
and to transcend.

31
00:04:56,321 --> 00:05:04,188
(Applause)

32
00:05:04,188 --> 00:05:06,056
(Music)

33
00:05:06,056 --> 00:08:48,323
(Violin music)

34
00:08:48,323 --> 00:08:52,323
