"We all have such common ways to identify with each other, and I think when you approach music in that organic way, it's almost indescribable how it connects human to human and heart to heart"
About this Quote
The phrase “common ways to identify” also signals an anxiety about fragmentation. Boone isn’t talking about “differences” in the abstract; she’s pointing to the everyday codes that let people recognize themselves in someone else’s rhythm, melody, or phrasing. It’s a soft argument against the idea that identity is only politics or demographics. In her telling, identity is also pulse and memory: the stuff you feel before you can articulate it.
Then she pulls the classic performer’s move: claiming the experience is “almost indescribable.” That’s not evasion; it’s a strategy that elevates the encounter beyond critique and measurement. If it’s indescribable, it’s also harder to commodify, harder to litigate, harder to reduce to discourse. “Human to human and heart to heart” is plain language, almost devotional in its simplicity, and that’s the point: the connection she’s describing is meant to bypass the head and land where defenses live.
