Amanda just had the best concert of her life — and she’s been to over 200 shows! 🎤 From front-row sweat to surround-sound magic, we dive into why Steven Wilson’s music feels like an orchestra in a rock show 🎸🎻 and what it means to truly be in flow on stage.
We compare the intimacy of small venues with big stadium routines 🎶, explore the perfectionism vs. joy in performance 🌟, and share how long songs (yes, even 23 minutes!) can take you on an emotional rollercoaster 🎢.
💡 Plus: why discovering new music is like finding treasure, from Vancouver drum circles 🥁 to Sofar Sounds rooftop shows 🌆.
Highlights:
🎶 The case for 23-minute songs
🔊 Why sound engineering matters
🎨 Art vs. “greatest hits”
🧘 How to listen deeply (lyrics up, phone down)
👉 Join us to rediscover why music still has the power to move, heal, and inspire.
