The way you describe connection, as something music quietly fosters, moment by moment, is so true. It’s easy to forget how deeply we long to be seen, to feel understood, and how a single song can hold space for that.
Your reflection on becoming a fan, not just of music but of the emotions and worlds it opens up, really awoke something in me.
That moment after the screening, exchanging bracelets and stickers with strangers who suddenly didn’t feel like strangers at all, that’s the kind of tenderness we don’t talk about enough. It’s real. It matters.
Thank you for putting words to something so many of us feel but rarely articulate. I’ll be carrying this with me for a while.
"to create a connection that transcends time and distance, so that we know we can find a sense of belonging just a click away." Love this ending takeaway so much!
Life without music would be a mistake, music can literally save us, change our mood and generate memories...music it's like Proust's magdalenas, can take us to those places that we love and enjoy with someone or alone... Thank you Mafer
Thank you for putting into words the different worlds we submerge in when we listen to our favorite artist. I felt the same way when The Eras Tour happened, even if I saw it through a screen, I experienced community in every way possible. Thank you for that example and for this appreciation of an intrinsic human being need as it is music. ❣️
I'm so glad you enjoyed my pov on this! Definitely, being a swiftie has provided me with some wonderful connections, including meeting you and I'll always be grateful for that 🥰
This was such a great read, thank you! You really put into words something special about music – how it genuinely connects people on a deeper level. Your point about being a fan opening up new worlds really resonated, and the example of the Taylor Swift screening perfectly captures that incredible feeling of instant community, even among strangers. It's amazing how shared passion for music can forge those bonds. :)
I appreciate your kind words and the way you make everything seem poetic and bigger than what I intended it to be. It truly speaks volumes on how a nice person you are and how you also find value on these things as well! 🫶
