However, the most familiar reason he finds has to do with identification: “The most interesting thing about music is that people take it as their own. This is the magic of a song. I find it fascinating,” she warns.
I have been psychoanalyzing for 50 years. It seems that you are prepared, like in a soccer game, and they train you to play. From the point of view of logic, I understood it, emotionally it is very difficult. (…) He was very crazy. No one greeted me before.
When you have a good event and a song works, great! But there are also songs that are a failure: it is the public that decides. Whether he takes it or not… it’s like love, how do you explain that you fell in love?
How the boys know her is also an interesting tidbit. I ask and they tell me through word of mouth. (…) Social networks are a world apart. Spotify is a world of offers, YouTube the same. When one is already in the market things change a bit.
