Waters told the crowd, who eventually gave her a standing ovation, “Sing along if you like.” A video of the performance was shared on YouTube.

“And my god, could you feel the power of musical alchemy in the hall last night,” The Dresden Dolls’ Amanda Palmer said on Instagram. “The soaring sharp needle of sung and played notes that tear us asunder and stitch us back together. The way it isn’t about any one thing. The way music can communicate more than mere words ever can.”
