    "comment": "Jana Bahrich grew up in Luxembourg, where she played French horn as a child and rented a banjo so she could learn to play \"Foggy Mountain Breakdown.\"\n\nWhile \"It's a Beautiful Life\" is about finding beauty within, it was inspired from vignettes snatched from moments away. \n\nOf its inspiration, Bahrich shares, \"A coffee I had with a pianist who was about to play a Philip Glass piece at the Philharmonie in Berlin, watching a couple break up on a New York City park bench, walking past a choir rehearsing in a basement and examining a loneliness that feels ingrained into daily life. I’m not denying pain but trying to find the beauty alongside it.\" https://tinyurl.com/2pew9np5",
