Going into the world

This documentary is about identity and belonging.
Humans, after all, understand the self in the context of other people. And if we truly want the highest understanding of who we are, eventually, we have to reach for the other. We have to cocreate with people.
For the first twenty years of my songwriting life, I treated music as an escape. As a way to hide from the world. But now I perform every week. I’ve come out of music hibernation, hungry and active for nourishment.
Because I don’t need to hide from the world anymore.
Playing and singing songs in real time, in front of real people, about real emotions, is fulfilling on a level that is hard to express.
Will you let the craving for togetherness trump the seductiveness of isolation?
