…Is often a question I’ll ask myself after an incredible music show.
But, the answer—as it is for most things in life—is that too much of a good thing can turn even that incredible thing into a bad thing.
If I was to go to music shows multiple times a week or even every weekend—I’d stop appreciating them as much.
It’s an observation I even made last night when listening to that legendary 2-hour set by two of the world’s best DJs: what makes them so great wasn’t just the banger after banger after banger song choice… it was the tension they expertly built throughout the show.
They knew how to build your excitement and anticipation… hold you in that peaked state… leave you levitating and wondering and anxious for what’s next… and then drop the banger of a track that gave you that euphoric release.
…And then they do it again.
But without the build… you don’t get the same feeling because there’s not really a drop.
And that’s what the space in between does for you in life: it allows your excitement, anticipation, and curiosity to build.
So that when you reach that peaked state and are levitating and just on the brink of being able to experience whatever it is in full… you are properly primed for a completely satisfying drop.
