I close my eyes and hold out the microphone to the crowd.
Their voices resonate as they sing to us.
Benji and Eric sing along with jubilant faces.
I stand on the amplifiers with my arms wide open.
We conduct our orchestra: a sea of voices united to fight the battle.
The crowd holds their hands in the air. They scream.
I toss the microphone to Benji, who catches it without blinking.
A mischievous smile is plastered on my face and the crowd knows. I swear they know what I’m about to do next. They’ll catch me the way music always has whenever I’ve felt down.
So I dive in.
The Fortunate Only has no label.
No manager.
No EP.
No upcoming gigs.
But in this moment, there are a hundred screaming voices catching me. And right now, that is enough.
