(let's see if this pop-up player thing from myspace works)
i thought their performance was outstanding and i really like their sound.
i'm no music critic and i just hear what i hear and if i like it, i like it. honestly, a part of me has seemed to grow less vested into this music thing. i feel like there are too many music snobs around and sometimes, i just dont know where to stand with this whole music-critique thing. i would like to have a greater knowledge about music, the basics, how a simple G chord is played on a guitar, a more extensive vocabulary when it comes to describing music, knowing every single instrument and its little nuances. but i, unfortunately, don't. one thing i know, is the way music makes me feel. and there's no way i can go wrong with that. it could be cheesy, sappy ballads that make me want to gag sometimes, or i could choose to sing and dance silly all around the room. or electro dance music that makes me want to shuffle and think ravelightscrazynights, indie music for a little peace and quiet, or post-rock on a rainy chilly night to accompany the emotional aura that rules the day. it could be anything, it could happen anywhere, at any moment. and that's exactly what i love about music. it's so organic, i find it hard to keep it away from my system. sometimes, it's hard to find inspiration, it's hard to put words to a certain feeling, but music could save the day. that's a belief i will always live by.
moving on. favourite tracks of the night: ghost promises and 4207. i thought every breakdown was executed perfectly. and while i was watching them play, i caught a sneakpeek of the world around in which i was in at that moment. the bright lights, the couples walking down the river walk, the many people surrounded watching a band do what they love live on stage, and so many friends of music gathered around. it was beautiful. it was a beauty i hadn't seen in a very long time.
truth is, ive been feeling very lost for the most parts. i'm starting to come to a mental halt and i've been angry at many people for a very long time. and this band put anger and melancholia in its best accompaniment i've had a chance to hear. i just sat there, hand in hand with my lover and i felt blessed. i could put two and two together. and i dont feel so lost anymore. right now, i'm at home on a saturday night, baking cookies, listening to music, listening to the rain beat down occassionally and guess what, i dont feel disappointed at all. i think i've found peace. in post-rock, which is very ironic. but it is my remedy for now.
and that will do. that will do.
ps: the boyfriend is auditioning for baybeats. here's crossing fingers and toes boyfriend!
peace out
