We don’t put it into words because it is a different expression for each musician depending on their cultural background. For me, in this song I am in a holy sanctuary because that has meaning for me with my cultural background. Sometimes in my mind I imagine I’m in the sanctuary of a church I used to work at in Mount Vernon, WA – but the walls are stone and it is thousands of years old. I like that visual.

I don’t know how music is with other Cirque shows – but in our show we spent a lot of time early on trying to dig deep. Our hope is that some of that translates beyond words into the music.

One thing I love about music, and I guess it applies to almost anything, is that you never quite arrive – it’s all the journey.
