Just saw a performance that completely blew me away. And for so many reasons.
This was one of those moments where everything seems to line up. The backstory was sincere, the singing was beautiful and the story was confidently vulnerable in such a loving way.
The song title is ‘It’s Ok’ and the singer, named Nightbirde, is dealing with Terminal Cancer. She is so genuine that watching her tell her story made me just want to jump up on stage and give her a hug. She is very realistic and beautifully optimistic about her situation. When asked if she was ok she answered ‘not in every way’, followed by ‘it’s important that that people know I am much more than the bad things that have happened to me!’
I love that answer. It’s so true and important for people to understand.
Her other great statement was ‘you can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.’
Her song was the topping on the cake. This whole experience was the perfect combination that made it jump from a performance to a meaningful moment for me.
I hope you enjoy it.
