Understanding this quote
The speaker describes becoming completely absorbed in performing. Attention narrows to the song, while ordinary awareness fades into the background. “Sink into it” and “surrender myself” suggest giving the performance full emotional attention; “forget myself” means setting aside the usual sense of self. The song also brings personal experiences back to life.
