my favorite favorite thing to do is go to shows. i’m not musically inclined in the least yet i always leave feeling inspired. not to form a band and hit the road, it’s more of an “everything is going to be ok” feeling because something as beautiful as music exists. and the magic you feel when your favorite band plays your favorite song… and whether there are 10 other people in the room or 3000, connections are happening.
awhile back i was one of the lucky ones with tickets to the sigur ros show at the bank of america pavilion in boston. it was a warm september evening and the icelandic band of my dreams was on stage. it was a breathtaking show and on a superficial note – my friend fletcher who was also there noted “have you ever seen such a well-dressed crowd?” true!
in jan of this year, sigur ros announced they would be taking a break to do things like hang with their families and pursue solo careers. the singer, jonsi birgisson recently released a solo album called go. i'm a sucker for falsetto whether it's coming from justin timberlake or passion pit so it's no surprise i swoon for jonsi. my favorite song so far is go do.
it's beautiful, magical, ethereal.
i can't wait to hear it live in less than 1 month!
