Most music related performers, (Example: singers, band members, producers, DJs) the longer we work, we might develop a deeper sense and feelings into the music as we progress. I’ve always asked myself a question “Can we ever sink our feelings into the song but yet keep ourselves detached from it during a performance?”. The answer was a clear NO as I once saw how a singer on stage, burst uncontrollably into tears when singing a song request.
A patron came up to me last night and told me that it was his wife’s passing away anniversary and if I can do him a favour to dedicate a song to her. Song choice was obvious, one of my all time favourites “Ramelia”. It was a really touching moment when I played the song and seeing him tearing up. He smiled and gave a thumbs up. He came over gave me a $50 tip and we hugged. This was truly a satisfying moment, not because of the tip but knowing I had played a song that truly hit his feelings. The tip also meant that he saw me sobbing as well.
