Halsey
A Cry That You Answered (Live from Webster Hall)
[Spoken Intro]
Oh yeah
Is everybody okay?
I said, is everybody okay?
[Interlude]
I wish I could explain to you guys like, what it's like to just do that
'Cause being on stage is a really beautiful thing and like it gives me this opportunity to perform my thoughts and perform my words in front of you, but I feel so fucking far away from you
So one of my favorite things to do is just jump down there and look at you up close
I'm gonna be honest with you guys, it's really hard to perform this album 'cause I wrote this, a roke Romeo and Juliet story. And it's set in a place where they have guns and fire and blood and magic and all this amazing cinematic stuff. And I'm expectеd to get on stage and perform it. And I'm likе a five-foot-four girl from New Jersey. So sometimes it feels hard to do this record the justice it deserves. But it also makes me think really really hard about the songs and about how if you strip all that magic back. If you strip away the fucking music videos and whatever else
This album was two things: it was a cry for help, which you answered, but, it was also this, this beautiful story that I made for you, that you would know that you're not alone
If you are a proud member of the LGBT community, can you put your hands up in the sky
Put it up higher
Are you proud?
Do you feel safe?
Do you feel seen?
Do you know that you are fucking beautiful?
Well then this one's for us
