Abby, the vagaries of audiences is something we can never know until actually facing them. Maybe it was just an *off* night for most and/or you?

Also, I read the words and found it rather confusing and abrupt, until I read the notes below the lyrics. Just an observation from someone who is not familiar with this song at all. Took me a couple of reads to *get it*.

I agree with the above, too, though, our motivation has to come from within, with our own sense of validation. While it is nice to receive recognition from others, what we feel inside is much mroe important, longer-lasting, and satisfying in the long run.

Don't give up! As long as it feels good to you, keep doing it!
