[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=42) What is It's Okay about? Uh, It's Okay is the story of the last year of my life. [0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=48) All right. And who are you here with? I'm here by myself. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=52) It's okay. And what do you do for a living? [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=57) Um, I have not been working for quite a few years. [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=59) I've been dealing with cancer. Oh, sorry. Oh.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=67) Can, can I ask you a question? How are you now? [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=70) Uh, last time I checked, I had some cancer in my lungs, my spine, and my liver. [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=76) Wow. So you're not okay. Uh, well, not in every way, no. [1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=82) You got a beautiful smile and a beautiful glow. Mm-hmm. You do. And nobody would know. Thank you. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=85) You got a beautiful smile and a beautiful glow. Mm-hmm. You do.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=87) It's important that, uh, everyone knows I'm so much more than the bad things that happened to me. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=91) Yes. Yes. All right. Sing for us. Good luck. [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=100) Nightbird. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=127) I moved to California in the summertime. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=135) I changed my name thinking that it would change my mind. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=143) I thought that all my problems, they would stay behind. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=149) I was a stick of dynamite and it just was a matter of time, yeah. [2:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=157) Oh dang, oh my, now I can't hide. Said I knew myself, but I guess I lied. [2:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=165) It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=169) If you're lost, we're all a little lost, and it's all right. [2:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=173) It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. [2:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=177) If you're lost, we're all a little lost, and it's all right.

[3:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=191) I, I wrote a hundred pages, but I burned them all. [3:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=196) Yeah, I burned them all. I blow through yellow lights and don't look back at all. [3:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=203) I don't look back at all. Oh dang, oh my, now I can't hide. [3:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=209) Said I knew what I wanted, but I guess I lied. [3:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=213) It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. [3:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=217) If you're lost, we're all a little lost, and it's all right. [3:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=221) It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. [3:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=225) If you're lost, we're all a little lost, and it's all right. [3:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=230) Oh, it's all right to be lost sometimes. [4:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=243) Wow. [4:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=270) You know, it's funny because singers come on, and, and I, and I think about authenticity. [4:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=275) You know, when you feel it, when it moves you. [4:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=278) That felt like the most authentic thing I have heard this season. [4:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=283) That was surprising to hear. It was powerful, it was heartfelt, and I think you're amazing. [4:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=291) You gave me chills. I mean, your voice is so beautiful to listen to. [4:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=295) It was beautiful all the way around. Your voice is stunning. [4:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=299) Mm-hmm. It is. Absolutely stunning. And I, I totally agree with what Howie said, you know, about authenticity. [5:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=307) There was something about that song after the way you just almost casually told us what you're going through, and, oh, you know... [5:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=317) You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy. [5:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=343) Um, there are, however... There have been some great singers this year. [5:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=351) Um, and I'm not gonna give you a yes. [5:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=358) I'm gonna give you something else. [6:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=392) Everything about that was really special. [6:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/hUS5rXi8PcX3/en/nightbirde-sings-it-s-okay-and-shares-her-cancer-story?t=396) Oh, thank you so much. Will I ever breathe again?
