- Vanessa May: Maybe some will think we're cursed.

Maybe some would think we're lucky to be from California.

We're from a part of California that is, I swear, forever plagued by wildfires.

And now we have that whole atmospheric river thing going on.

It's wild out there, you guys.

[chuckles] But I wonder whether or not we can call natural disasters "natural" anymore.

They all seem much more ominous.

More people die, they come more often.

In this song, this next one, it's just a prayer, basically, that we can get our #### together.

LOL.

That's how I felt.
