You have to respect your audience. Without them, you're essentially standing alone, singing to yourself.

We can't always be the bridge. Sometimes we have to be the flooding river.

Why are you standing over there alone? You look like a turd in a laundry basket.

We are not afraid of being isolated or standing alone,

A singer for me is more like someone who is standing alone with a microphone like Scott Walker, rather than someone who is bashing a plank and is spitting all over a microphone.

Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me, it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.
