When she said “I actually never loved you. You thought I loved you but I never did, I never did.” I WEEPED!

There is nowhere to hide with the human voice. We grip, we push, we press, we panic, we do everything except let go. It takes such courage to let go, but on a foundation of wonderful technique, that is what is needed. I turned down a place at GSDM in London to sing, I did not have that courage. If you have all stayed the course, bravi. I salute you.
