I cried five times during the Fleet Foxes concert at the Greek.
I wasn’t even drunk!
I don’t think.
I mean, I probably had like five glasses of wine & was PMSing,
so, I wasn’t technically drunk but I had the emotional stability
of a wasted nineteen year old with a penchant for drunk dialing.
It was just a truly incredible experience, and yes, it made me cry. A lot. And I’m not even a concert crier! I’m not that person! I only cry in Up! But it was just so special. I love the Greek and it’s just insane to me that there are five dudes out there who are not only awesome musicians, but who can harmonize like that. Fucking nuts. Here I am, fuckin’ throwing words up on the internet, and there are bros out there synchronized singing about Carl Sagan basically.
The reason I’m telling you this is because everyone lately has been like,
WHAT IS UP WITH YOU AND THIS FLEET FOXES REVIVAL?
WHY ARE YOU SO OBSESSED WITH THIS 6 MONTH OLD ALBUM?
WHY ARE YOU CRYING?!
WELL, I’LL TELL YOU!
BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED MAGIC, OK?!
IT WAS MAGIC!
AND YOU CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!
[Currently listening 2 FLEET FOXES. FUCKING DUH. SEE YOU LATER.]
Guuurlll I felt the same exact way. I saw them at Williamsburg Waterfront in BK and it was facing the water at night as the sun was going down and you can see the Amazing Manhattan Skyline. If that didn’t make this experience magical enough, then they started singing. Those dudes sounded like angels floating me right up to the sky(I swear I was completely sober) but was actually high on them. Their harmonies and instrument playing was just fucking overwhelmingly awe-inspiring. I cried like a baby throughout. Uggghhh incredible!! So yeah, I’m totally with you on this.
