HEY!
"Roll Away Your Stone by Mumford & Sons.
I’m just sayin’.
I’m a ha-yooge consumer of music. I’m a ha-yooge fan of music. But with all my enjoyment of music, not all of it moooooooooves me. I listen to most of it for a bit, bee-bop with myself in front of the mirror, have a good I-feel-awesome strut down the street and then I move on.
But every once in a great while music makes me feel like I would travel the world to see them. And I have.
Every once in a great while, I do not consume music, it consumes ME.
U2. Kings of Leon. The Editors. Interpol. Pearl Jam. The Gaslight Anthem. Xavier Rudd. The National.
And Mumford And Sons.
I was so incredibly lucky enough to catch on to these fellas early on and see them at small venues such as Mercury Lounge, Bowery, Webster.
Last week I saw them two evenings in a row at Terminal 5 and, now that it is over, I am in painful withdrawal.
I laughed.
I danced.
I sang.
I cried at the sight of Marcus’s incredulous face of wonder as they all knelt around King Charles and he gave them Marcus’s “favorite” King Charles song.
I raised my hands and sang in prayer: I’ll find strength in pain. And I will change my ways. I’ll know my name as it’s called again.
Some people go to church, I listen to music. Some people pray, I turn up the volume.
Truth. Again.
I’m sorry for the repeat, but I had to reblog this again. I keep going back to this person’s statements over and over again in my head. I was there as well and, though I was at the time at a lost for words over the experience at the time, this says exactly what I felt and what I continue to feel. Music is awesome. Awesome music is amazing. Amazing music loves life.
