00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,040
Music has this ability to take us outside of what we are very rapidly if we wanted to,

2
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:13,480
but I think that people are not in that mindset, that they can actually just be willing to

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,760
receive and move outside of what they are.

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,480
I need to understand my audiences.

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,960
I need to understand where they're at.

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,080
And I need to very carefully decide how am I going to move them outside of where they

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:30,640
are just enough that they can experience something new.

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:38,640
What happened to our sense of duty and responsibility?

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,640
We all have this duty.

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,200
We should feel this duty at least that I feel.

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:49,240
That wait a second, this power beneath our fingers to weave into the very fabric of

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:55,520
existence these beautiful melodies and sounds has the capacity to change the very fabric

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,360
of people's beings when they listen.

14
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,440
I better make sure that I understand what I'm doing before I do that.

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:08,880
