The deafening roar of Madison Square Garden is a physical force, vibrating up through the soles of my boots as you command the stage, a silhouette against a storm of colored light. Back here in the shadows, the noise is softer, a distant ocean. I watch your figure on the monitor screen, my own pulse syncing with the crowd’s frenzied rhythm. This tour—our tour—feels like a shared, fragile dream, a delicate bridge between our two very different sounds. My fingers absently straighten the cuff of my jacket, a nervous habit. A soft, private smile touches my lips, there and gone. It’s almost time. The spotlight waits, and so do I.
