full-band. It was only okay.

I've started the song by myself for so long, and after 16 bars I'd let the last chord ring, and then continue. Only me, maybe a softer strum, a lighter dynamic to differentiate parts.

For the first time tonight I let that chord ring and this huge sound came from behind me. I was startled. I was picked up by the bass and the drums, for the first time something was meeting me at that point. It collided with and carried me forward, it shook my back, forced air out of lungs. Different from rehearsal, because I couldn't see it coming. For a second I was in mid-air. It was a trust fall.

You could take that kind of support for granted forever, just until you lose it.
