This reminds me of Destiny Rules. They were on pins and needles just hoping that the record execs would like their music and give them the green light. It made my heart a little heavy. Nervousness is good, because it gives you energy. But they were more than nervous. They were in the position of needing approval. It made me feel sad and awkward like if Laurence Olivier was still alive and some director said, "Well, I'm considering you for the role, but first I need to see you audition. Here, read this!"
