Hello, my Extraterrestrial friend.

Thank you for lending me your hand.

I’ll guide you to something you may have never known.

Here on Earth, it’s definitely a show.

Do you feel a thump in your chest caused by the sound in the west?

Do you see the bright lights swirling in the air?

Why yes, we’re heading over there.

Don’t be scared. I know the sound is intense.

When your body moves, It’s called a dance.

Ah! We made it to a field with other humans.

Look at them move to the music.

In fact, that’s what I’m here to show you.

There’s power down here in sound.

You can use it to bring together a crowd.

The human up there is called an artist.

They stand on a stage and put on a performance.

We let them control our emotions.

From the sounds that come from their voices.

Notice the crowd move together as one.

Welcome to your first music festival.

Let go, and have some fun.
