15:32Yes, I wrote it in 2021.
15:34So right when it was starting to get way too long.
15:38You know, it was like a year and a half after it started.
15:42And so I was just, it's a song about wanderlust.
15:45It's about, it's a song about dreaming of going somewhere, whatever that somewhere may be for you.
15:51Because it can be a place, but it could be a feeling.
15:53It could be a state of, of, of being free.
15:57So that's what it's about.
15:59I like to call it my song for dreamers.
16:01Oh, so it's a song for me because I'm a dreamer too.

16:24That I just gotta see
16:29The way they say it never ends
16:33The way the sun sets in the sea
16:39There's something about the other side
16:43That's calling out to me
16:49Somewhere the music never dies
16:54And I can sing my melody
16:59Oh, come on baby, it's time to fall
17:04Chasing after tomorrow
17:07Come on baby, it's time to see
17:10All the things we've never seen
17:14And all the moments left to cease
17:17Following the ocean breeze
17:38There's something about the other side
17:43That I bet it's neon green
17:50And while I'm waiting out this dread
17:54There's no sin in daydreaming
18:01Not a single tear
18:04Not a single tear drop in the sky
18:07What way to live
18:11Oh, come on baby, it's time to fall
18:16Come on baby, it's time to fall

19:59Corinne, Casa on CMC TV Talent
20:03Corinne, the show is almost over
20:06One more song to go
20:08So, before you were saying it, would you like to share your social media so people at home can get
20:13in touch with you?
20:13Maybe find out where your next gig is or, you know, where in Montreal we will be playing.
20:20Yes, yes.
20:21Please come become my friends on social media.
20:24You can just find me under my name.
20:26So, it's Corinne Caza.
20:27C-O-R-I-N-N-E-C-A-Z-A.
20:31And, yeah, I'm on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, everywhere.
20:35And tell me, Morrie, about your last song.
20:36To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
20:38Yeah, so To All the Boys I've Loved Before is also a song about growing up.
20:42So, I wrote it while looking back on all my crushes from when I was a little teenager in high
20:50school.
20:50And I call it a classic love song.
20:54So, it has, like, this very crooner vibe.
20:56But it has a little twist in the lyrics.
20:58It brings you an unexpected road.
21:01So, it kind of mimics the feeling of having a crush that becomes so consuming.
21:05But when you look back on it, you realize that it was pretty much all in your head.
21:11So, that's what it's about.
21:13Okay.
21:14Sometimes high school crushes do become, you know, long-term relationships.
21:18I got married to my high school crush.
21:20Well, you're one of the lucky ones.
21:22Yeah, I'm a lucky one.
21:23You're one of the lucky ones.
21:24So, this is Corinne Caza on CMC TV Talent.
21:28And see you next week.
21:38To all the boys I've loved before
21:42It must be a sweet victory
21:46To know you were the reason for
21:50All this longing
21:53What you don't know is
21:57You were a pretty little vessel
22:01To give life to my stories
22:06And I don't need to hurt your feelings
22:13But in my head
22:17You were so dreaming
22:20And so I guess
22:23I kept you at a distance
22:26So you didn't ruin
22:30So you didn't ruin
22:31Your beauty
22:34To all the boys I've loved before
22:38I guess I did
22:41Because you'll never ask for anything from me
22:46That way we stayed
22:50That way we stayed
22:53That way we stayed
22:57A mystery
23:01That I could write
23:09Myself and you
23:14You were the actor
23:16And you played your part
23:18Brilliantly
23:26To all the boys I've loved before
23:31I guess I did
23:34To all the boys I've loved before
23:37I guess I did
24:06To all the boys I've loved before
24:09I guess I did
24:12To all the boys I've loved before
24:16I guess I did
24:21I guess I did
