    I totally understand the blue haired girl in the audience. She's young and at that age you feel emotions so violently and urgently that you can't help but cry. I'm 52 and I still cry when I listen to songs, maybe for different reasons to her but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that we're all made the same, and we all have an inner urge to express our feelings and emotions. This music is perfect for exploring ourselves and dive into our own dark sea.
    So, never be afraid to cry. It's liberating, and it purifies your soul.

    the girl with the blue hair is how i felt as i watched my girlfriend dance at slowdive's gig at rock city in nottingham in march 1991, she was beautiful like the music ............ 2.5hrs later i was in a coma for 17 weeks after a near fatal motorcycle crash........ she stayed by my side every day playing slowdives music....

      That touched me.
      The husband of a girlfriend of me had a motorcycle accident a few days before.
      The good news are, he has only an broken arm, not more.
      Nonetheless, it was intensive for all of us.
      And hearing slowdive is very emotional for me (the reasons are another reasons, not this), so this message here touched me.
      What a wonderful happy end for both of you.

      Most of them are probably 15 years old and haven't lived a day of real life. Once they've had a little time to get smacked around with the reality stick they'll maybe grow up a bit and get it. Hopefully, when the s$$t hits their fan, someone will be there to record it and post it on UA-cam so that they can enjoy life on the other side.
      [TO MAKE IT CLEAR] I'm talking here about the people who are giving her grief, not about her. How on earth anyone could mistake that I don't know but apparently a lot of folks did.

It is insane what Slowdive are able to do. One of the little things that make many of us who suffer from this soulless concrete jungle lifestyle we live in 24/7 feel alive. Soundwaves that actually make us feel like humans in this horrible world where humanity went almost completely missing.

    i feel the girl with the blue hair. I recently saw slowdive in denver a few weeks ago and while they were performing avayln 1 (third song of the concert) i just started crying. I was drinking that night and maybe that helped a little but I was very happy but sad as welll for some reason. It was just very beautiful to hear them. It was also raining that night as well and that made the concert more memorable. slowdive makes me feel a way that i cant explain.

You take everything in and you can have beautiful emotional moments like that. That's the beauty of youth. Then life takes its toll on you and you build that wall around yourself to protect yourself. But I still have the occasional moments when it opens itself for a while. It's not as intense as what she's experiencing but it's nice to know that it can still happen. To be alive and rejoicing in musical ecstasy.

    • @panagiotischaralampopoulos7152
      @panagiotischaralampopoulos7152 6 років тому +4

      one of the biggest truths someone has expresed.
      youth is youth and nothing can be compared to this.
      the experiences , the wisdom and all these importants facts of life even if you get them by aging you always find your self ready to exchange them for some moments like the one the young girl is offering.
      when you get old you loose all that feeling and you are ashamed to your self to express your feelings.
      so you are staying alone late at night on weekends hearing the music you like and you find your self crying for the lost youth ,and when you hear some noise like somebody is waking up ( my child) you wipe your tears quickly.
      it is the tragic of aging to remember the days you did not have any responsibilities and had all the time to love, cry, dance ,drink and taste life.
      this is why life is unfair.
      it gives you ALL the bliss quickly and lets you aftewards with the sense of not capable of feeling deeply and with this image of your self's withering.

The notes they're playing, the build-up and the crescendo just does something special to you, it hits just right and breaks your heart. If you haven't seen them live, go do it and feel the magic.
