This will appeal to indie music listeners.The story goes like this:
In the 1990s, Radiohead's Thom Yorke was going through a period of severe stage fright. R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe told him to change his perspective and not make it about himself as the center of so called events
This became the chorus of "How to Disappear Completely" from Kid A album

Ps.i believe that it is similar to first stage of enlightenment meaning the rise of the witness and/or neti neti approach
But eventually the I moves into unity , there will be no more need to take a step back, no need to make any effort and witness, spontaneously in the moment movement and action happens from silence, the seer and seen are no longer two, there is only seeing

An interesting bit of rock history, thanks for sharing Maheswari. I've always been intrigued by the number of performers who seem to be deeply introverted and yet choose a career that puts them on a stage in front of thousands of people.

Hi Interpaul
I believe that fear happens to both introvert and extrovert performers....it is like the fear we can feel in our work too or any life circumstances
The fear comes from believing things are happening to me and they are bad

That's some good trivia, thanks Maheswari. It's a great song, and that title has always stuck in my head as something of an informal inquiry prompt. It also reminds me of one of my personal favorite axioms: good design disappears.
