You’re worried about
the notes
the tracks
the chords
the words
the crowd size
the volume of the applause
the screw up the guitar player keeps making
and yet…
…the audience is worried about
was I right in choosing to come here
do I have good taste in music and is it being affirmed
am I going to feel cool about telling my friends I was here
The audience doesn’t have the power to make an artists worries go away, but the artist has an unbelievable opportunity to do things, to act in a way, to lead, to put on a show that DOES cause the audiences worries to go away.
