We sing to the energy inside a stadium, a concert hall, an empty field where thousands pay a day’s salary to watch us do what we love. 

The very rich are revealed through eyes reflecting their abundance and expectations.  Their stance screams out, “I deserve the best.”

Those who scrimped, who saved to pay for this one night stand, drink in the energy of an event that might be the pinnacle of their desperate lives.

We sing for the joy of it, for outside these walls there’s no place we can travel, nowhere we can find anonymity, or peace.
