There is just nothing like live music. I wasn't sure what I would think, after seeing two of my favorite bands perform in a place as small as Lemonjello's...I thought perhaps the music would be asorbed into the crowd, without ever reaching me, but I forgot about Anathallo's exuding passion...and Saxon Shore, well their sound had victory won over the most wildest of thunder storms last night. Goodness, just all around, spiritfilled, fruitful goodness.

Anathallo takes me back to much of what I learned at PUSH...when I watch them, I have a crazy amount of mime/dance techique and theory running through my head, exercises from improv class, and I'm amazed at the parallels in artistic development. It causes me to dream about maybe learning to play the piano once more...so I can at least understand the technique of being a musician a little more, but perhaps relating on a purely emotional plane is not so bad. I like some of the ignorance, I like feeling like I am the only one in the room that could possibly be feeling the music at depth. Like I could keel over with the next chest piercing tone. I don't need to know that it's not true...or rather feel that it's not true :). It's true entertainment...

Saxon Shore, oh man, I felt like their music was a wave that just enveloped me...it was so loud, so beautiful, the tonality tricked my brain, it felt like I was dancing inside my head. There were a few of these penetrating sounds that would start in my left ear, and move reaching a higher level in my right. I totally felt like I was over spiritualizing the experience, but then determined that was alright because It's been awhile since I've been spirtually excited. So I danced a little, prayed a little, and forgave a lot.

And it all made me appreciate the silence of the evening after that. I went home crawled into bed fully dressed, and let my ear drums swell in aftershock of a beautiful memory.

There...I bet you're jealous...either that or thinking I'm far too dramatic about simple things.
But frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
