Everyone needs a reset button. Mine is going to shows by myself. I guess maybe it's because I find a special kind of solitude in being anonymous in a crowd. Grabbing a beer by myself and squeezing to that perfect spot where I can see and hear perfectly and singing along when I want to and feeling sad and happy and hopeful in a room full of strangers and getting the chills and not feeling compelled to tell anyone "I'm getting the chills". And maybe it's me, but as a female who is normally told to be careful doing things like drinking and dancing on her own in public, it's also
empowering as hell.
It was a special moment for me to see Glasvegas, a band I have been listening to religiously for the past 5 years, and for them to be just as perfect and as real as I had hoped.
No one needed to know when they played my song. I knew. And that's all I needed.
