    I saw them perform live and it was one of the best nights of my life. Music brings people together. I went alone and didn’t feel lonely one second.

      I often do go on concerts by myself. Honestly, most people just want to talk over the music. I want to vibe. Have only handful of friends i would go on a concert with. Those who understand what is it all about :)

    • @trexinvert
      @trexinvert 3 роки тому +1

      Yeah me, too. 90's aye? This is how real independent/music/artists evolve in the "absence" of corporate music marketing and distribution machine. Too bad I wasn't "cool enough" to be privy to music like this back then when it was evolving. I probably wouldn't have notice if I did. I would be too "blinded" by the machine. I'm aware of it now. Keep on.

    2009, Lisbon, crossing the Tago River, on the red 25-do-Abril bridge on my way back from the beach to Lisbon city. Sun is setting down. Loud noise coming from the tires rolling over the metal pavement of the bridge and the surrounding traffic but the speaker manage to pump loud music, nevertheless. Sun is setting down and sky is flaming up. I am tired and hungry but relieved from yet another epic day at the beach, swimming in the cold, powerful Portuguese ocean. I see the city getting closer. Friends on the backseats sleeping. This was the soundtrack of one of the best moments of life. Music, this kind of music, is indeed such a powerful memory fuel. Lisboa, I love you.

    Too low to find my way
    Too high to wonder why
    I've touched this place before
    Somewhere in another time
    Now I can hear the sun
    The clouds drifting through the blinds
    A half a million thoughts
    Are flowing through my mind
    A satellite recalled your voice
    Sent me round the world again
    All the night you've dreamt away
    Sent me round my heart again
    One touch upon my lips
    And all my thoughts are clear
    I feel your smoky mist
    Up to the stratosphere
    Too low to find my way
    Too high to wonder why
    I've touched this place before
    Somewhere in another time
    Now I can hear the sun
    The clouds drifting through the blinds
    A half a million thoughts
    Are flowing through my mind
    Too low to find my way
    Too high to wonder why
    I've touched this place before

    Classic and timeless =] I love that they use real instruments mixed with digital tools. Most people know this catchy tune from the movie "Garden State", but it is so uplighting that it puts you in a great mental state- great example of "acoustic alchemy". In our "Home Economics" course at Alexander Graham Middle School our professor would start each day with a classic and timeless album. I think it's a great daily ritual.
