the sky is crying at hygge blues

Sitting down to write about my experience of performing with the Sky is Crying at Hygge Blues, I realise I only have one thing to tell you. And not because I want to hide other feelings, but because this feeling is so huge, it outshines everything else; it becomes the only thing that is truly important to tell you.

I loved it.

I remember standing there, overlooking a sea (well, it's a cosy event, so maybe not an entire sea - maybe more like a small and lovely lake) of dancers, singing my heart out, being entirely and totally present and inside the music, and feeling with every nerve in my body: this is it. This is perfect. This is what I want. All the work, all the hours of rehearsal and planning, all the worrying about money and freelance life, all the music I've ever listened to, all the fears of not being good enough, all my knowledge: It all brought me here, now, and it's perfect: This is where I want to be, singing this music, for you.

That feeling of flow is better than almost anything else in life.

Thank you for being there, in it, with me.

And thank you to Marcus and Gustav for sharing it all with me: the music, the work, the hours, the decisions, and the flow.
