Radiohead in Chile ♪
Were there sound probs? Yes.
Did they make mistakes? Yes.
I think I can be objective and I actually remember things I could point.
Although all in all... The lives were excellent!! Breath-taking!!!
I've never been good at reviewing.
"Knowledge" in music is a different thing than "Feeling" in it...
And I can feel it but I dont really know about music.
So I just write what I feel...
And what I think with the little I know about music.
Also, I don't think 'Im always right', actually, I tend to think I'm wrong...
So this time, I decided I won't write about Radiohead...
At least, not like I wrote about Monoral or Damien Rice.
Why? Well, first...
Coz what I felt- and still feel- is certainly too big to be expressed in words.
And second,
Coz lately I got really tired of the "Radiohead are gods" thing.
Really. I'm fed up.
Radiohead are my favorite band.
I love their music. I loved it, I love it and I will ever love their music, most likely.
But it's not like I can't put ears to their music... And actually listen!!
After the second Radiohead live here in Chile,
When I tried to give an opinion on a song, a friend said: "It's Radiohead, who cares?"
I really felt like becoming a murderer right there.
More because of his "I'm always right" voice intonation than what he said, but...
Isn't it actually important? Music in itself... I mean... It must be, ne?
I mean, I mainly talk about music in terms of 'connection'.
But you can't just not pay attention to everything...
Because... Would it be true love if you don't?.... I dunno. I'm confused.
You might say he -like probably most people there- was in 'such an ecstasis' to think and blah blah
Then... Am I the one who separates feelings and thoughts too much? Maybe.
I waited for Radiohead for years and they are the hell important for me.
I have a stupidly large amount of memories attached to Radiohead.
I started listening to them when I was 13 and I almost don't have memories before I was that age.
So I've been listening to them 'my whole life' you may say.
In fact, my eyes were holding tears in like half of the songs during the first live...
I was just too overwhelmed.
But seriously... All people in the lives... All people I've talked about those later...
All fans seem to think Radiohead are gods...
And that wouldn't be something I don't like
If they in fact gave me reasons for thinking that...
But they all go "Just because"... And THAT'S something I really dislike.
Well... Going on through this is just like going on in circles though...
Because, it's not like I would have cared -probably-
if I had found at least ONE person to talk about the lives...
I felt lonely ....
Because Radiohead lives were finished and, also,
Because most people seem to not care about music,
But only the fact that they were "Radiohead"...
Anyways.... I did understand them I think...
Maybe I just -selfishly- wanted someone to understand me....
And love the music... Right there, right then...
Not just a name.
