Nicolas continued, giving a touching account of his childhood memories. “And I must have been four years old, and I remember being frozen, paralyzed, listening to that music. ‘Pools of sorrow, waves of joy.’ And it just — it’s my favorite song ever written. Which is why I’m going to announce some big news for everybody. I am going to have a little girl!”
