Long live live music!!
This set from at was electric. When I wasn’t singing along, my jaw was dropped in awe and wonder.
Live music facilitates collective effervescence-it’s a powerful combination of shared joy, nonverbal connection, group movement and singing.
It gives us a sense of connection even when we’re among thousands of strangers. We realize we’re more alike than different. We remember we’re stronger together.
Entrainment brings our heart rates and respiration rates closer together, magnetized by the music and its steady beat.
We co-regulate with thousands in the moment.
Lyrics help us remember the past, be present, and hope for the future.
Creativity calls us to creation in a world of destruction, division and consumption.
May the music move us forward together!
