Not every song that Midland records has a deep, emotional meaning behind it, but when they do, lead singer Mark Wystrach says it definitely affects him, especially when performing live. Mark tells us more: “You always need to go into that place. You need to populate that story, and it is recalling – maybe not consciously, sometimes it is subconscious. I feel like if the song is written well enough, the music will literally kind of move you into that space. For me, particularly in the live shows, I definitely am in a different mindset. And that is the interesting thing about music. It is so deeply personal and it is very raw and you’re very exposed out there because you are opening your heart up while you’re performing.” : :34 (OC: while you’re performing.)
