you have been wronged, tore up since birth. you have done harm, others have done worse.

Thinking about this performance again, and how unbelievably amazing it is. She’s pouring her whole heart into it. The way the stage lights make her hair match the gold color of her harp. The way the mic feedback cuts out on that note where the band joins in. The way she rests her head against the harp and looks so peaceful even as her hands are dancing perfectly on the strings. The pan over to the band. The tears in her eyes at the end. It’s so intricate and so honest. Ugh this is absolutely perfect and I love it so much.
