I want to be me, is that not allowed?
The only person with the power to stop you from being yourself is you.
When a singer means every word, and every word is carried by emotion, this is what happens.
In this live performance, Lola Young takes us into her journey and leaves you with that simple feeling:
“I get it, girl.”
Isn’t that, eventually, what we all seek?
To be understood.
To be heard.
When we truly listen—with our full presence—every conversation has the potential to become a portal into new territory.
No agenda.
No rehearsing what to say next.
No loops running through your mind about everything else.
Just being present and listening.
So simple, yet not so common in the fast-consuming culture surrounding us.
Still, there is hope.
Every small interaction, every word, and every new encounter is a possibility to reclaim that power—to become more present, and to appreciate all of it, including the silence.
The whole performance is a roller coaster of emotions. But for me, the most special moment comes after the song ends.
Lola pauses.
Pure silence.
She allows the performance to settle before saying:
“That might be the best performance I have ever played.”
That pause made it whole.
And I am here for it.
