After the concert…
Beatrice: Really enjoyed it. Your voice, your onstage energy, and the threading stories between songs.
Veronica: Thank you. A show isn’t just a sequence of songs. It’s a narrative arc.
Beatrice: As a linguist, I liked your storytelling. The way you spoke about “home” as an extension of the self, and then contrasted that with the trauma of losing your house.
Veronica: There have been setbacks, certainly. But I think they’ve helped me grow, both as a person and as an artist. So, you’re a linguist? We’re cousins. Singers and linguists both live and thrive through language.
Beatrice: You seem to stretch language beyond its usual limits. Like with scatting.
Veronica: I try to. Sometimes words aren’t enough, or they get in the way. Improvisation with band members, it’s a kind of conversation beyond language. Maybe that’s where the truest parts of the story live.
Home is an extension of oneself

Voice-over
A concert we often wonder where the songs come from. What they mean to the singer. Especially if it was the singer who wrote the song. What relations are between the members of the band.
