    Truly, what a spectacle everything that happened during the last song. People were on another level of happiness, and the guy singing didn't touch his face even once because he was hot, unlike in the previous songs. Everyone was vibing in sync, realizing at the same time that something special was happening during that last song. And well, it ended up being one of the most listened-to tracks. But how wonderful for the band and the people who were there to experience that. Today, at a massive concert, neither the audience nor the band will feel that sensation again.
