concerts = briefly feeling infinite; forcefully emotional; electric energy; unlikely human harmony

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." [Aldous Huxley]

There are so many things - circumstances, prejudices, fears - that keep human beings apart. Music is such a beautiful way to lessen the gap between us. And, I sense that music will be especially important to me now, moving to a big, impersonal city such as London. That big city feeling of isolation and loneliness can aggravate even minor homesickness. 


I believe that the antidote could be losing my individuality for a while in a crowd of people sharing a love of music. It's the most incredible moment, being at a concert, in which we, as a crowd, are indivisible - an unlikely union, tacitly agreeing to a feeling of solidarity. I love that feeling of belonging, loving, and comradeship. Bottle that up and sell it. And so concerts, my friends, are definitely on the agenda for London.
