I did an unpaid internship where I assisted in editing a documentary about the making of this album. I never met Herbie, but I saw untold hours of incidental behind the scenes footage of him and he seems like a genuinely very nice guy.
The internship sucked (as all unpaid internships do) and caused me to give up on professional filmmaking altogether. Probably the best possible outcome, tbh. It turns out, only rich kids with connections get to get paid for that kind of work. The only really positive thing that came out of the whole experience was learning about Céu from editing that Tempo de Amor video you linked.

The cover of "Don't Give Up" is meaningful for me and I really like that P!nk was involved with it. I don't know much about her but what little bit I've seen has been very impressive. I've tried several times but I can't seem to click with her music which has always made a little, teeny bit sad so I'm happy to have found some common musical ground with her.
