                Henry Johanson live at The 2015 FCA's A large applause is given as up and coming singer songwriter, Henry Johanson walks on stage. He is holding an electric guitar at his side with the strap over his shoulder. He waves as he puts his face up to the microphone. "Hello, London. My name is Henry Johanson. How's your evening been?" He listens as the crowd cheers. "Perfect, this is my first time attending any award show. It's pretty crazy. Hey, give it up for Ezra Allan! She's doing an amazing job tonight! Feel free to clap along, just clap on time, please. I've had crowds throw me off because of clapping." He laughs a little bit as he beings to play the chord progression to "It's Alright." He starts to sway along as he begins to sing.  Our thoughts intertwine like a net Keeping cars away from cliffs
 And into the graves we can't dig out
 Though I'm determined to find a way out
 I want to see how my story ends
 I want to scatter my ashes
 In the belly of the beast
 Of all my problems I've ran from
 
 It's alright, we'll make it through to the end
 Just close your eyes, you'll be okay
 I promise
 
 I will wait for you to open your eyes
 I will wait for you to open your eyes
 I will wait for you to open your eyes
 Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead
 Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead
 Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead
 Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead
 The pearly gates are ahead
 The pearly gates are ahead
 
 Our thoughts intertwine like a net

 Of all my problems I've ran from

 The pearly gates are ahead
 The crowd cheers as Henry plays the last notes of the song. "Thanks, guys. You're already a great crowd." He looks down at a setlist he made for the evening. "I was about to board my plane to London when someone recognized me. Turns out, he's also attending the FCA's and he has the seat next to mine. I forgot your name, I'm sorry. But I'd like to dedicate this next song to that guy. He told me this story about being in a small plane crash. I couldn't help but think of this next song." He begins playing the familiar plucked guitar riff from "Wings." The crowd cheers as they recognize it. "Feel free to make the beach noises sampled in the intro." He says jokingly. His expression almost instantly changes to a more somber and stern expression.Falling apart like the spine of an old book Trembling emotions shaking like the pacific coast
 The world is getting warmer
 But I am feeling so much colder
 Flying like a bird in the distance
 Wings can only take you so far.
 
 In a suburb in the city, I wake up all alone again
 Where is my beautiful wife and my beautiful children?
 I saw them here last night
 Cruelly in my dreams...
 
 Flying like a bird in the distance
 Wings can only take you so far.
 
 I am just a man
 With a heart that is shattered
 Like those porcelain dolls in your living room
 On the floor after the earth shook so violently
 
 Ohhhhhhh ohhh ohhh
 
 Flying like a bird in distance
 I guess I'll drive away from my problems
 Like how birds fly back south.
 Wings can only take you...
 So far
 His expression changes again to happy. "I guess it's true that wings can only take you so far, huh, guy I met on the plane? I guess it is true." He laughs again. "I think it's crazy that people are willing to fly so far for this thing. But if you did, I thank you. I'm really enjoying this experience and there's so much more to come." He presses a fuzz pedal which begins feedbacking. He begins growling into the microphone. "Just kidding" He says as he begins playing the fuzzy chord riff of "Ceiling Fan Song" Everything that I love Doesn't make sense to me now
 Trying to grab the straws
 Of rationality
 Life goes on
 Without skipping a heartbeat
 
 I'm hanging from a ceiling fan
 And I don't if I'm dead or not
 
 Everything that I love
 Have run out of oxygen and fallen dead
 I'm wondering why
 Things are never what they seem
 Life goes on
 Without skipping a heartbeat
 
 I'm hanging from a ceiling fan
 And I don't know if I'm dead or not
 Ahhhh
 Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Ahhhh!
 Ahhhhh!
 The mood is now very somber. "Thank you guys so much. You've been great! Give a huge hand to Johnny Carter and Medina as well! They both put on great shows." The crowd cheers for them "This is my last song, it's called Tonight, Forever." The unique chord progression of Tonight, Forever begins playing and the crowd begins to clap.My mother paces nervously It's noon again
 The sun shines like her eyes
 She won't be sleeping
 Tonight, tonight, tonight
 
 I've been watching you
 Since you were small
 You've finally caught me but keep it between us
 Forever, and ever, Forever, and ever.
 Forever, and ever, Forever, and ever.
 
 And some say the earth is dying
 But I feel its heartbeat
 And some blame it on the weather
 We will not know
 Until, we die, until we die
 I will we, stay up, tonight, and forever
 
 If I am alone in the darkness
 Then you are my lantern
 A circle of light on the ground
 To help me find home
 Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
 Forever, and ever, forever, and ever
 Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
 Forever, and ever, forever, and ever
 
 My mother paces nervously
 It's noon again
 The sun shines like her eyes
 She won't be sleeping
 She won't be sleeping
 She won't be sleeping
 He sings the last note of Tonight, Forever. The crowd begins cheering loudly for him. "I'm Henry Johanson, I want to thank everyone here for giving me the utmost kindness tonight. I'll be in the very front at the mainstage tonight, come hang out with me if you're nearby. Bye!" He unplugs his guitar as walks off stage as a roadie wheels his amplifier off stage.  Setlist:1. It's Alright 2. Wings
 3. Ceiling Fan Song
 4. Tonight, Forever
