Thought

This incredible exchange of energy goes on onstage, where you’re almost transported. For me, the spark comes, very emotional, from the shared experience of what I’m singing about. It’s the band when we really lock in and the audience knows you’re locking in. I wish I could lose myself more when I play by myself. It’s easy to do with an audience, but I tend to be too self-conscious and judgmental when I’m alone. The audience is more unconditional, as if the channel is more open.

— Bonnie Raitt

"Do not wait for someone else to come and speak for you. It's you who can change the world."
