I’m going to move you at 9pm on Saturday.
Bold.
But isn’t that the underlying goal of having a performance on Saturday? And what’s the point of having them show up at 9pm? If they wanted to hear your songs at 9pm they would open up Spotify.
Your responsibility at 9pm is to move people. If you got up there, played zero songs, but moved the people in the room, no one would complain.
The great artists and performers understand the boldness, confidence, honor and responsibility of believing the first sentence of this post, and insert it into their conscious and subconscious.
I’m going to move you at 9pm on Saturday. Man that sounds arrogant. Waaaaay too over the top. Borderline narcissistic.
Think about your next show. Think about the people coming to the show. All 10 of them or all 10,000 of them. Now deliver the message to them in your mind…(and even more powerfully) say it out loud…
I am going to move you at Xpm on Xday.
