“The audience keeps singing, keeps making my case, and I just keep strumming until I get close enough to see her eyes. And then I start singing the chorus. Right to her. And she smiles at me, and it’s like we’re the only two people out here, the only ones who know what’s happening. Which is that this song we’re all singing together is being rewritten. It’s no longer an angry plea shouted to the void. Right here, on this stage, in front of eighty thousand people, it’s becoming something else. This is our new vow.” PeopleKnowsTwoEnoughEyeTogetherSongCasesAudienceStageFrontsBecomingThousandSingingHappeningsAngryVoidHer EyesEightyVowChorusBecoming SomethingStrummingSinging Together Author:Gayle Forman
