I recorded the song live in front of an orchestra, and yes, I was very moved, I was in tears.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I haven't been to many music events where somebody was performing and it actually made me cry.
In order to make my solo shows as interesting as possible, I moved songs onto very different instruments so that I was moving instruments quite a lot during the set.
It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most.
For a long time, I resisted seeing 'The Sound of Music,' but when I finally did, I cried.
I don't know if I've ever screamed or cried for a band.
I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad.
When I moved to New York, I had to let my band know that I couldn't play anymore, and that was difficult to leave that behind.
I was at a picnic, and there were a lot of songwriters. I remember praying, 'God I wish you would give me a song.' About five minutes later, my ears popped, and I saw everybody in slow motion. Nobody knew what I was experiencing.
I get even more nervous singing when everyone's fallen silent, but I really try to communicate the meaning of the lyrics, and there's people there listening to that, and if they're moved by it, then I'm moved as well.
There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me.
