I dared to do it because I had already sung the whole thing with her the other day in a tiny basement in a disused colliery in front of a live audience, so I wasn&#8217;t too excited about it. However, we were still carried to unimagined singing heights by the kind, black, gentle love of the Gothics and washed over by applause like a warm wave on a shallow beach. The only problem is that my lectures, which previously took place in the Schauspielhaus and were already constantly overcrowded there, so that we had to turn most people away, were once again overcrowded even now in the much larger agra 4.2. So we are starting to wonder if we need to move to agra 4.1. The audience would be for it, but I think the bands would object.
