So, I’m looking at this crowd and i’m realizing that we probably have a lot of people here that are from the Boston area, am i right? i also know that we probably have a lot of people here who travelled a really long distance to be at the show tonight, am i correct? amazing. well… so, when i think about that, i think about the fact that so many people from different backgrounds, who have different hobbies, who are from different places are here tonight. and even with all of those things being different about our lives, we have this one thing that we have in common, every single one of us. and that thing, is that when we feel great amounts of joy or when we feel great amounts of pain we turn to music and that is why we are here in this stadium tonight, every one of us. and it’s never been so obvious to me, and i’ve never been so aware of the fact that everywhere we go, whether you’re in a stadium full of 60,000 other people, you’re in a grocery store or you’re at school, or you’re at work, every single person, we’re all walking around with a different set of hopes and fears and regrets, and things that terrify us. uhm, and i think that’s important sometimes to remind ourselves of that because every single night in my meet and greets when i meet 200 to 300 people before the show, i hear what they’re going through and a lot of the time they’ll confide in me. and i just think that, when we’re treating people… when we’re dealing with people in public… and the fact that you’re out there dancing together even though you may not know the person next to you, you have no idea how happy that makes me that you are being so wonderful to each other because every single person, regardless of whether they’re smiling or not dwelling on it, every single person is going through something. uhm, and maybe you lost someone, maybe you lost yourself. maybe you are absolutely terrified because you don’t know what the next few years hold for you. maybe you haven’t decided what you want to do with your life yet and that freaks you out. or maybe you just… you just don’t feel like anyone gets where you are in your life right now. I don’t know… with every single person it’s different. but i want to let you know that I’m proud of you for something. because regardless of what you’re going through at this very moment, you decided not to let it break you. you decided not to stay home tonight. you decided to come to a concert and have the best time ever with us. and I want to thank you so much for that because these thing in life that we go through… life is-is a series of fleeting moments of happiness and fleeting moments of pain and all the things in between, the choices you make, are what actually count. and the choices that you make in between, to get up and go to a concert, those are the things that are gonna make you move on with your life to the moments of happiness that are ahead of you. and the moments of pain that we go through, the moments of regret that we go through, those things teach you the lessons that you’re supposed to learn in life. they do not make you tarnished, they do not make you damaged. i think it’s just the opposite Boston Massachusetts, i think those things, they actually make you clean. if you know the words to this song please sing with me.
