But your soul you must keep, totally free

Last night I had the amazing experience of going to see Mumford and Sons, Bear's Den, and The Vaccine with Paige at the Excel. Man, it was sweet. There is something that just lights me up to see people rocking out on an upright bass or a banjo as if they were in a hardcore rock band. And man that fiddle player was fantastic. There is nothing like watching a performer get totally lost in their music.

Listening to live music is honestly one of the most fulfilling things you can experience. If you haven't ever gone to a concert, go to one. Seriously. It doesn't matter if it's ten people listening in a coffee shop or thousands in a stadium, it will rock your world. 
Mumford&Sons, Bear's Den, and The Vaccine
This is the moment where the everyone was silent...at least for a little bit.
It's hard to explain how I feel during a concert, everyone's experience is totally their own. But for me, there's something about closing your eyes during the slow part of the song when those intense harmonies reverb through the crowd. You just feel the passion. The passion from the performers in their voices; the passion from the music lovers in their silence. It's breathtaking.

Hans Christian Anderson said "Where words fail, music speaks" and personally, I don't think there has ever been a more spot on quote for my life.
