The thing I can’t wait to get back to is listening together.
We listen alone a lot in 2021. Headphones of our own podcasts or playlists are placing sound into our own ears. The person next to us is listening to something different. (If there’s a person next to us…I hope there’s at least a seat between us!)
Listening together is part of what makes concerts feel special. It’s dark, any you can feel alone with the performing musicians. At the same time, though, your fellow audience members create a palpable energy. It’s different not just because the music is created live. It’s different because you are sharing it with the people around you.
I can’t wait to listen to some really great music, together with friends and strangers.
