Ze Frank's web playroom

Translator: Christine Hansen Reviewer: Morten Faigh

Every presentation needs this slide in it.

Hver eneste præsentation har brug for det her slide.

(Laughter)

(latter)

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Det er smukt, ikke?

Do you see?

Ser du det?

All the points, all the lines --

Alle punkterne, alle linierne

it's incredible.

Det er utroligt.

It is the network;

Det er et netværk.

and in my case, the network has been important in media,

Og i mit tilfælde er netværket blevet en vigtig del af media,

because I get to connect to people.

fordi jeg får lov til at komme i kontakt med folk.

Isn't it amazing?

Er det ikke fantastisk?

Through that, I connect to people.

Gennem det kommer jeg i kontakt med folk.

And the way that I've been doing it

Og den måde jeg har gjort det på

has been multifaceted.

har fået mange facetter.

For example, I get people to dress up their vacuum cleaners.

For eksempel får jeg folk til at klæde deres støvsuger ud.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

I put together projects like Earth Sandwich,

Jeg sætter projekter sammen. Såsom Earth Sandwich,

where I ask people

hvor jeg spørger folk om

to try and simultaneously place

at prøve på samme tid at placere

two pieces of bread

to stykker brød

perfectly opposite each other on the Earth.

præcist modsat af hinanden på jorden.

And people started laying bread in tribute,

Og folk begyndte at ligge toastbrød på jorden som hyldest.

and eventually a team was able to do it

Og i sidste ende lykkedes det et team at gøre det

between New Zealand and Spain.

mellem New Zealand og Spanien.

It's pretty incredible -- the video's online.

Det er ret utroligt. Videoen er på nettet.

Connecting to people in projects

At forbinde folk i projekter

like YoungmeNowme for example.

som YoungmeNowme for eksemple.

In YoungmeNowme, the audience was asked

I YoungmeNowme blev tilskuerne spurgt

to find a childhood photograph of themselves

om at finde et barndomsfotografi af dem selv

and restage it as an adult.

og gendanne det som voksen.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

This is the same person --

Denne samme person -

top photo, James, bottom photo, [Jennifer].

øverste billede, James, nederste billede, Jennifer.

Poignant.

Gribende.

This was a Mother's Day gift.

Dette var en mors dag gave.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

Particularly creepy.

Specielt uhyggeligt.

(Applause)

(Applaus)

(Laughter)

(Latter)

My favorite of these photos, which I couldn't find,

Mit favoritbillede, som jeg ikke kunne finde,

is there's a picture of a 30 year-old woman or so

er det her billede af en ca. 30 årig kvinde

with a little baby on her lap,

med en lille baby på hendes skød,

and the next photo is a 220-lb man

og det næste billede er en 100 kg mand

with a tiny, little old lady peaking over his shoulder.

med en lille bitte gammel kvinde kiggende over hans skulder.

But this project changed the way

Men det her projekt ændrede måden,

that I thought about connecting to people.

jeg så på forbindelser mellem mennesker.

This is project called Ray.

Det her projekt hedder Ray.

And what happened was I was sent this piece of audio

Og det der skete var, at jeg fik det her stykke med lyd tilsendt,

and had no idea who generated the audio.

og jeg havde ingen ide om, hvem der havde lavet lydstykket.

Somebody said, "You have to listen to this."

Nogen sagde, "Du bliver nødt til at lytte til det her."

And this is what came to me.

Og dette var hvad der kom til mig.

Recording: Hi, my name is Ray,

Optagelse: Hej, mit navn er Ray,

and on yesterday my daughter called me

og i går ringede min datter til mig,

because she was stressed out

fordi hun var stresset,

because of things that were going on on her job

på grund af de ting der foregik på hendes job,

that she felt was quite unfair.

som hun synes var ret unfair.

Being quite disturbed, she called for comfort,

Værende ret frastødt ringede hun til mig for at få trøst.

and I didn't really know what to tell her,

Og jeg vidste ikke rigtig, hvad jeg skulle sige,

because we have to deal with so much mess in our society.

fordi vi er nødt til at leve med so meget rod i vores samfund.

So I was led to write this song just for her,

Så jeg blev ledt til at skrive en sang til hende,

just to give her some encouragement

bare for at give hende noget opmuntring,

while dealing with stress and pressures on her job.

samtidig med at håndtere stress og pres på hendes arbejdspress.

And I figured I'd put it on the Internet

Og jeg synes, at jeg ville putte den på internettet

for all employees under stress

til alle ansatte under stress,

to help you better deal with what you're going through on your job.

som en hjælp til jer, til at håndtere det I går igennem på jeres arbejde.

Here's how the song goes.

Sådan lyder den.

♫ I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫Jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫

♫ Oh, I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫Åh, jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫

♫ Oh, if you don't leave me alone, ♫

♫Åh, hvis du ikke lader mig være i fred,♫

♫ you gonna have to send me home ♫

♫bliver du nødt til at sende mig hjem♫

♫ 'Cause I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫for jeg er er ved at smække en en flad♫

Now you might not be able to sing that out loud,

Altså du kan nok ikke synge den højt,

but you can hum it to yourself, and you know what the words are.

men du kan nynne den for sig selv, og du ved selv hvad ordene er.

And let it give you some strength to get the next few moments on your job.

Og lad det give dig midt støtte til at klare de næste timer på arbejde.

All right. Stay strong. Peace.

Okay. Forbliv stærk. Peace.

Ze Frank: So -- yeah.

Ze Frank: Så - ja.

No, no, no, shush. We've got to go quickly.

Nej, nej nej, shhh. Vi bliver nødt til at være hurtige.

So I was so moved by this --

Så jeg var rørt over det her.

this is incredible. This was connecting, right.

Det er utroligt. Det var forbindelse, ikke?

This was, at a distance,

Dette var, på afstand,

realizing that someone was feeling something,

at indse at en eller anden følte et eller andet,

wanting to affect them in a particular way,

og viljen til at påvirke dem på en bestemt måde,

using media to do it, putting it online

under brugen af et media. Sætte det på nettet

and realizing that there was a greater impact.

og indse at det har haft en større indvirkning.

This was incredible; this is what I wanted to do.

Det var utroligt. Det var hvad, jeg ønskede at gøre.

So the first thing I thought of is we have to thank him.

Så den første ting jeg tænkte på er, at vi bliver nødt til at takke ham.

And I asked my audience, I said, "Listen to this piece of audio.

Og jeg henvendte mig til mine tilskuere, jeg sagde, "Lyt til det her lydklip.

We have to remix it. He's got a great voice.

Vi bliver nødt til at remixe det. Han har en god stemme.

It's actually in the key of B flat.

Jeg er faktisk i b dur.

And have to do something with it."

Og har noget at gøre med det."

Hundreds of remixes came back -- lots of different attempts.

Hunderede af remix kom tilbage - mange forskellige forsøg.

One stood out in particular.

En stod i særdeleshed ud.

It was done by a guy named Goose.

Den var lavet af en mand der hed Goose.

Remix: ♫ I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

Remix: ♫Jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫

♫ Oh, I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫Åh, jeg er ved at smække en en flad♫

♫ Oh, if you don't leave me alone, ♫

♫Åh, hvis du ikke lader mig være i fred♫

♫ You gonna have to send me home ♫

♫bliver du nødt til at sende mig hjem♫

♫ Cuz I'm about to whip somebody's ass ♫

♫For jeg er ved at smække en en flad ♫

♫ I'm about to whip some ♫ --

♫Jeg er ved at smække♫ --

ZF: Great, so it was incredible.

ZF: Godt. Så det var utroligt.

That song -- (Applause) Thank you.

Denne sang -- (Applause) Tak.

So that song, somebody told me that it was at a baseball game

Så den sang, noget fortalte mig, at den var med til en basketbold kamp

in Kansas City.

i Kansas City.

In the end,

Til slut,

it was one of the top downloads

var den en af de mest downloadede

on a whole bunch of music streaming services.

på en hel masse internet streaming sider.

And so I said, "Let's put this together in an album."

Og så sagde jeg, "Lad os sætte der her sammen i et album"

And the audience came together, and they designed an album cover.

Og publikum slog sig sammen, og de designede et album cover.

And I said, "If you put it all on this, I'm going to deliver it to him,

Og jeg sagde, "Hvis i samler det hele på den her, så afleverer jeg det til ham,

if you can figure out who this person is,"

hvis i kan finde ud af hvem denne person er,"

because all I had was his name -- Ray --

fordi alt jeg havde var hans navn, Ray,

and this little piece of audio

og det her lille lydklip

and the fact that his daughter was upset.

og det at hans datter var ked af det.

In two weeks, they found him.

I løbet af to uger, fandt de ham.

I received and email and it said,

Jeg modtog en email, der sagde,

"Hi, I'm Ray.

"Hej. Jeg er Ray.

I heard you were looking for me."

Jeg hører at du leder efter mig."

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And I was like, "Yeah, Ray.

Og jeg var sådan, "Yeah, Ray.

It's been an interesting two weeks."

Det var været nogle interessante to uger."

And so I flew to St. Louis

Og så fløj jeg til St. Louis

and met Ray,

og mødte Ray,

and he's a preacher --

og han er en præst.

(Laughter)

(latter)

among other things.

Blandt andet.

So but anyways, here's the thing --

Men her er problemet,

is it reminds me of this,

det minder mig om det her,

which is a sign that you see in Amsterdam on every street corner.

som er et skilt, man kan se på hvert gadehjørne i Amsterdam.

And it's sort of a metaphor for me for the virtual world.

Og for mig er det en slags metafor for den virtuelle verden.

I look at this photo, and he seems really interested

Jeg ser på de her billede, og han virker så interesseret

in what's going on with that button,

i, hvad der sker med den knap,

but it doesn't seem like he is really that interested in crossing the street.

men det virker ikke, som om han er særlig interesseret i at krydse gaden.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

And it makes me think of this.

Og det får mig til at tænke på det her.

On street corners everywhere, people are looking at their cell phones,

På hvert et gadehjørne står folk og kigger på deres mobiltelefon,

and it's easy to dismiss this

og det er nemt at lægge det til side,

as some sort of bad trend

som værne en dårlig trend

in human culture.

i menneskelig kultur.

But the truth is

Men sandheden er,

life is being lived there.

at et liv bliver levet der.

When they smile --

Når de smiler,

right, you've seen people stop --

ikke?, man har set folk stoppe -

all of a sudden, life is being lived there,

lige pludseligt. Et liv bliver levet der,

somewhere up in that weird, dense network.

et eller andet sted i det underlige komprimerede netværk.

And this is it, right, to feel and be felt.

Og det er det, ikke, at føle og blive følt.

It's the fundamental force

Det er den fundamentale kraft,

that we're all after.

som vi alle leder efter.

We can build all sorts of environments

Vi kan bygge alle mulige slags miljøer

to make it a little bit easier,

til at gøre det lidt nemmere,

but ultimately, what we're trying to do

men ultimativt, det vi prøver på at gøre

is really connect with one other person.

er egentlig at komme i kontakt med hinanden.

And that's not always going to happen in physical spaces.

Og det sker ikke altid i fysiske omgivelser.

It's also going to now happen in virtual spaces,

Det sker nu også i virtuelle verdener,

and we have to get better at figuring that out.

og vi skal blive bedre til at regne det ud.

I think, of the people that build all this technology in the network,

Jeg synes, at alle dem der bygger teknologi til netværk,

a lot of them aren't very good

mange af dem ikke er særlig gode til

at connecting with people.

at komme i kontakt med folk.

This is kind of like something I used to do

Det er lid,t som noget jeg engang gjorde

in third grade.

i 3. klasse.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

So here's a series of projects

Så her er en lang række af projekter

over the last few years

over de sidste år,

where I've been inspired by trying to figure out

hvor jeg er blevet inspireret til at prøve på at regne ud,

how to really facilitate close connection.

hvordan man skaber tætte forbindelser.

Sometimes they're very, very simple things.

Nogle gange er det meget simple ting.

A Childhood Walk, which is a project

A Childhood Walk, som er et projekt,

where I ask people to remember a walk

hvor jeg spurgte folk om de kunne huske en gåtur,

that they used to take as a child over and over again

som de, igen og igen, var vant til at gå som barn,

that was sort of meaningless --

som var lidt meningsløs,

like on the route to the bus stop, to a neighbor's house,

lige som en rute til busstoppet, til en nabos hus

and take it inside of Google Streetview.

og ligge det ind på Google Streetview.

And I promise you,

Og jeg lover jer,

if you take that walk inside Google Streetview,

hvis du går en tur inde i Google Streetview,

you come to a moment

så vil du på et tidspunkt,

where something comes back

opleve at noget kommer tilbage,

and hits you in the face.

og det skyller ind over dig.

And I collected those moments --

Og jeg samlede disse tidspunkter -

the photos inside Google Streetview

billederne inde i Google Streetview

and the memories, specifically.

og disse tidspunkter, specielt.

"Our conversation started with me saying, 'I'm bored,'

"Vores samtale startede med at jeg sagde, "Jeg keder mig",

and her replying, 'When I'm bored I eat pretzels.'

og at hun svarede, "Når jeg keder mig spiser jeg kringler."

I remember this distinctly because it came up a lot."

jeg husker det her specielt fordi det ofte skete"

"Right after he told me and my brother

"Lige efter han fortalt mig og min bror,

he was going to be separating from my mom,

at han og min mor ville have en separation,

I remember walking to a convenience store

husker jeg at gå ind i kiosken

and getting a cherry cola."

og købe en cherry cola."

"They used some of the morbidly artist footage,

"De brugte nogle morbide, artistiske optagelser,

a close-up of Chad's shoes in the middle of the highway.

et close-up fotografi af Chads sko midt på motorvejen.

I guess the shoes came off when he was hit.

Jeg tror de faldt af, da han blev ramt.

He slept over at my house once, and he left his pillow.

Han sov hos mig engang, og han efterlod hans pude.

It had 'Chad' written in magic marker on it.

Der stod 'Chad' skevet med sprittusch på den.

He died long after he left the pillow at my house,

Han døde lang tid efter, han efterlod puden hos mig,

but we never got around to returning it."

men jeg fik aldrig afleveret den tilbage."

Sometimes they're a little bit more abstract.

Nogle gange er de lidt mere abstrakte.

This is Pain Pack.

Dette er Pain Pack.

Right after September 11th, last year,

Kort til efter den 11. september, sidste år,

I was thinking about pain and the way that we disperse it,

tænkte jeg over smerte, og måde vi dispensere den på,

the way that we excise it from our bodies.

måden hvorpå vi udskiller det fra vores krop.

So what I did is I opened up a hotline --

Så det jeg gjorde var,at jeg åbnede en hotline,

a hotline where people could leave voicemails of their pain,

en hotline hvor folk kunne efterlade voicemails om deres smerte,

not necessarily related to that event.

ikke nødvendigvis relateret til den begivenhed.

And people called in and left messages like this.

Og folk ringede ind og efterlod beskeder som denne.

Recording: Okay, here's something.

Optagelse: Okay, her er noget.

I'm not alone,

Jeg er ikke alene,

and I am loved.

og jeg er elsket.

I'm really fortunate.

Jeg er virkelig heldig.

But sometimes I feel really lonely.

Men nogen gange føler jeg mig virkelig ensom.

And when I feel that way

Og når jeg har det sådan,

even the smallest act of kindness

kan selv den mindste gode gerning

can make me cry.

få mig til at græde.

Like even people in convenience stores

Lige som når folk i kiosker

saying, "Have a nice day,"

siger, "Ha' en god dag,",

when they're accidentally looking me in the eye.

når de tilfældigvis ser mig i øjnene.

ZF: So what I did was I took those voicemails,

ZF: Så hvad jeg gjorde med de her voicemails,

and with their permission, converted them to MP3s

og med deres tilladelse, var at konvertere dem til MP3 filer,

and distributed them to sound editors

og distributerede dem til lyd editorer,

who created short sounds

som lavede korte lyde

using just those voicemails.

kun ud af de voicemails.

And those were then distributed to DJs

Og de var distribueret til DJ's,

who have made hundreds of songs

som havde lavet hundrede af sange

using that source material.

under brug af det materiale.

(Music)

(Music)

We don't have time to play much of it.

Vi har ikke meget tid til at lege med det.

You can look at it online.

I kan se det online.

"From 52 to 48 with love"

"Kærlig hilsen fra 52 til 48"

was a project around the time of the last election cycle,

var et projekt i tiden omkring den sidste valgperiode,

where McCain and Obama both,

hvor McCain og Obama begge

in their speeches after the election, talked about reconciliation,

i deres taler, efter valget, talte om deres forsoning,

and I was like, "What the hell

og jeg tænkte, "Hvordan helvede

does that look like?"

ser det ud?"

So I thought, "Well let's just give it a try.

Så jeg tænkte, "Tja, lad os give det et forsøg.

Let's have people hold up signs about reconciliation."

Lad os sætte folk til at holde skilte op med forsoninger."

And so some really nice things came together.

Og så kom der nogle rigtig fine ting ud af det.

"I voted blue. I voted red.

"Jeg stemte blåt, jeg stemte rødt.

Together, for our future."

Sammen for vores fremtid."

These are very, very cute little things right.

De er meget, meget, søde, små ting, ikke.

Some came from the winning party.

Nogle kom fra det vindende parti.

"Dear 48, I promise to listen to you, to fight for you, to respect you always."

"Kære 48, jeg lover at lytte til jer, at kæmpe for jer, at respektere jer altid."

Some came from the party who had just lost.

Nogle kom fra partiet som lige havde tabt.

"From a 48 to a 52, may your party's leadership be as classy as you,

"Fra en 48'er til en 52'er, må jeres partis lederskab være lige så elegant som jer,

but I doubt it."

men jeg tvivler."

But the truth was that as this start becoming popular,

Men sandheden var, at som det her begyndte at blive populært,

a couple rightwing blogs and some message boards

fandt nogle højreorienterede blogs og nogle forumer det

apparently found it to be a little patronizing,

åbenbart en lille smule nedladende,

which I could also see.

hvilket jeg også godt kunne se.

And so I started getting amazing amounts of hate mail,

Og så begyndte jeg at få utrolig mange hadebreve,

death threats even.

dødstrudsler endda.

And one guy in particular kept on writing me these pretty awful messages,

Og i høj grad en blev en mand ved med at skrive nogle ret grusomme beskeder,

and he was dressed as Batman.

og han var klædt ud som Batman.

And he said, "I'm dressed as Batman to hide my identity."

Og han sagde, "Jeg er klædt ud som Batman for at skjule min identitet."

Just in case I thought the real Batman

I tilfælde af at jeg troede, at det var den rigtige Batman,

was coming after me;

der var efter mig.

which actually made me feel a little better --

Hvilket faktisk fik mig til at føle mig lidt bedre tilpas.

like, "Phew, it's not him."

Sådan, "Puh, det er ikke ham."

So what I did --

Så hvad jeg gjorde -

unfortunately, I was harboring all this kind of

desværre husede jeg alle slags

awful experience and this pain inside of me,

dårlige oplevelser og den her smerte inden i,

and it started to eat away at my psyche.

og det startede at påvirke min psyke.

And I was protecting the project from it, I realized. I was protecting it --

Og som jeg beskyttede projektet imod det, indså jeg. Jeg beskyttede det.

I didn't want this special, little group of photographs

Jeg ville ikke have, at denne specielle, lille gruppe af fotografier

to get sullied in some way.

skulle blive besudlet på nogen måde.

So what I did, I took all those emails,

Så det jeg gjorde var, at jeg tog alle de her emails,

and I put them together into something called Angrigami,

og jeg satte dem sammen til noget, der hed Angrigami,

which was an origami template

hvilket var en origami skabelon

made out of this sort of vile stuff.

lavet ud af de her modbydelige ting.

And I asked people to send me beautiful things

Og jeg spurgte folk om, de ville sende smukke ting

made out of the Angrigami.

lavet ud af Angrigamien.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

But this was the emotional moment.

Men dette var en emotionelt øjeblik.

One of my viewer's uncles died on a particular day

En af mine seers onkel døde præcis på den dag,

and he chose to commemorate it with a piece of hate.

og han valgte at mindes det men et stykke af had.

It's amazing.

Det er fantastisk.

The last thing I'm going to tell you about is a series of projects

Det sidste jeg vil fortælle jer om, er en serie af projekter,

called Songs You Already Know,

der hedder Song You Already Know,

where the idea was,

hvor ideen bag var,

I was trying to figure out to address

jeg prøvede på at finde en måde at udtrykke

particular kinds of emotions with group projects.

specifikke følelser med gruppe projekter.

So one of them was fairly straightforward.

Så en af dem var rimelig ligetil.

A guy said that his daughter got scared at night

En mand sagde, at han datter blev bange om natten,

and could I write a song for her, his daughter.

og om jeg kunne skrive en sang for hende, hans datter.

And I said, "Oh yeah,

Og jeg sagde, øh ja,

I'll try to write a mantra that she can sing to herself

jeg vil prøve at skrive et mantra, som hun kan synge til sig selv,

to help herself go to sleep."

for at hjælpe sig selv til at sove.

And this was "Scared."

Og dette var "Bange."

(Video) ♫ This is a song that I sing when I'm scared of something ♫

(Video) ♫ Dette er en sang, jeg synger, når jeg er bange for noget ♫

♫ I don't know why but it helps me get over it ♫

♫ Jeg ved ikke hvorfor, men den hjælper mig med at komme over det ♫

♫ The words of the song just move me along ♫

♫ Ordene i sangen får mig til at fortsætte ♫

♫ And somehow I get over it ♫

♫ Og på en eller anden måde kommer jeg over det ♫

♫ At least I don't suck at life ♫

♫ I det mindste har jeg succes i livet ♫

♫ I keep on trying despite ♫

♫ Jeg bliver ved med at prøve trods alt ♫

♫ At least I don't suck at life ♫

♫ I det mindste har jeg succes i livet ♫

♫ I keep on trying despite ♫

♫ Jeg bliver ved med at prøve trods alt ♫

♫ This is a song that I sing when I'm scared of something ♫

♫ Dette er en sang, jeg synger, når jeg er bange for noget ♫

Okay, so I wrote that song, right. Thank you.

Okay, så jeg skrev den her sang, ikke. Tak skal I have.

So the nice thing was is he walked by his daughter's room at some point,

Så det bedste var, at han gik forbi hans datters værelse på et tidspunkt,

and she actually was singing that song to herself.

og hun sang faktisk sangen til sig selv.

So I was like, "Awesome. This is great."

Så jeg var sådan, "Fedt. Det her er godt."

And then I got this email. And there's a little bit of a back story to this.

Og så fik jeg den her email. Og der er en lille historie bag den.

And I don't have much time.

Og jeg har ikke meget tid.

But the idea was that at one point

Men ideen var, på det her tidspunkt, at

I did a project called Facebook Me Equals You,

jeg lavede et projekt, som hed Facebook Me Equals You,

where I wanted to experience what it was like

hvor jeg ville prøve, hvordan det var

to live as another person.

at leve som en anden person.

So I asked for people's usernames and passwords to be sent to me.

Så jeg spurgte efter at få tilsendt nogle menneskers brugernavne og kodeord.

And I got a lot, like 30 in a half an hour.

Og efter jeg fik en masse, ca. 30 inden for en halv time.

And I shut that part down.

Og jeg lukkede for den del.

And I chose two people to be,

Og valgte to mennesker at være,

and I asked them to send me descriptions

og jeg bad dem sende en beskrivelse

of how to act as them on Facebook.

af, hvordan jeg skulle opføre mig på Facebook.

One person sent me a very detailed description;

En af personerne sendte mig en meget detaljeret beskrivelse.

the other person didn't.

Den anden gjorde ikke.

And the person who didn't, it turned out,

Og den person der ikke gjorde, viste sig at,

had just moved to a new city and taken on a new job.

personen lige havde flyttet til en ny by og startet på et nyt job.

So, you know, people were writing me and saying, "How's your new job?"

Så, du ved, folk skrev og spurgte, "Hvordan er dit nye arbejde?"

I was like, "I don't know.

Og jeg var sådan, "Det ved jeg ikke,

Didn't know I had one."

jeg vidste ikke jeg havde et."

But anyway, this same person, Laura,

Men uanset hvad, denne samme person, Laura,

ended up emailing me a little bit after that project.

endte med at emaile mig et lille stykke tid efter projektet.

And I felt badly for not having done a good job.

Og jeg havde det dårligt, fordi jeg ikke havde gjort det ret godt.

And she said, "I'm really anxious, I just moved to a new town, I have this new job,

Og hun sagde, "Jeg er virkelig ængstelig, jeg er lige flyttet til en ny by, jeg har det her nye arbejde,

and I've just had this incredible amount of anxiety."

og jeg er utrolig ængstelig."

So she had seen the "Scared" song and wondered if I could do something.

Så hun havde set "Bange"-sangen og tænkte om, jeg kunne gøre noget.

So I asked her, "What does it feel like when you feel this way?"

Så jeg spurgte hende, "Hvordan føles det, når du har det sådan?"

And she wrote a sort of descriptive set

Og hun skrev en slags beskrivelse

of what it felt like to have had this anxiety.

af, hvordan det føles af have ængstelighed.

And so what I decided to do.

Og hvad jeg besluttede mig for at gøre.

I said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Jeg sagde, "Okay, jeg vil tænke over det."

And so quietly in the background, I started sending people this.

Og så stille i baggrunden, startede jeg at sende folk det her.

(Audio) ♫ Hey ♫

(Lyd) ♫ Hey ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ Du er okay ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ Du klarer den ♫

So I asked people

Så jeg spurgte folk,

whether they had basic audio capabilities,

om de havde basale lydkapaciteter,

just so they could sing along to the song with headphones on,

bare så de kunne synge med på sangen med hovedtelefoner på,

so I could just get their voices back.

så jeg kunne få deres stemmer sendt tilbage.

And this is the kind of thing that I got back.

Og det her er den slags ting jeg fik tilbage.

Recording: ♫ Hey ♫

Optagelse: ♫ Hey ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ Du er okay ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ Du klarer den ♫

ZF: So that's one of the better ones, really.

ZF: Så det var en af de bedre, helt ærligt.

But what's awesome is, as I started getting more and more and more of them,

Men det fede er, som jeg startede at få flere og flere og flere af dem,

all of a sudden I had 30, 40 voices from around the world.

havde jeg lige pludselig 30, 40 stemmer fra hele verden.

And when you put them together, something magical happens,

Og når du sætter dem sammen, sker der noget magisk,

something absolutely incredible happens,

noget helt utroligt sker,

and all of a sudden I get a chorus from around the world.

og lige pludselig fik jeg et omkvæd fra hele verden.

And what was really great is, I'm putting all this work together in the background,

Og det der er virkelig godt er, jeg satte alt det her sammen i baggrunden,

and Laura sent me a follow-up email because a good month had passed by.

og Laura sendte mig følgende email, fordi en god måned var gået.

And she said, "I know you've forgotten about me.

Og hun sagde, "Jeg ved at, at du har glemt alt om mig

I just want to say thanks for even considering it."

jeg ville bare sige tak, fordi du overvejede det."

And then a few days later I sent her this.

Og få dage senere sendte jeg hende der her.

(Audio) ♫ Right now, it feels like I forgot to turn the light on ♫

(Lyd) ♫ Lige nu føles det som om, jeg har glemt at tænde lyset ♫

♫ And things that looked so good yesterday ♫

♫ Og alt det der så godt ud i går ♫

♫ are now shades of gray ♫

♫ er skiftet til triste syn ♫

♫ And it seems like the world is spinning ♫

♫ Og det føles som om verden snurrer, ♫

♫ while I'm standing still ♫

♫ mens jeg står stille♫

♫ Or maybe I am spinning I can't tell ♫

♫ Eller måske er det mig der snurrer, jeg ved det ikke ♫

♫ And then you say ♫

♫ Og så siger du ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ Du er okay ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ Du klarer den ♫

♫ Just breathe ♫

♫ Træk bare vejret ♫

♫ And now the words sing ♫

♫ Og nu synger ordene ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ Du er okay ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ Du klarer den ♫

♫ Just breathe ♫

♫ Træk bare vejret ♫

♫ Now everybody sings ♫

♫ Og nu syner alle ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ Du er okay ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ Du klarer den ♫

♫ Just breathe ♫

♫ Træk bare vejret ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ Du er okay ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ Du klarer den ♫

♫ Just breathe ♫

♫ Træk bare vejret ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ Hey ♫

♫ You're okay ♫

♫ Du er okay ♫

♫ You'll be fine ♫

♫ Du klarer den ♫

♫ Just breathe ♫

♫ Træk bare vejret ♫

Thank you.

Tak.
