Great night!!
I went to the WGRD Bootleg Bash to see Dendura and it totally rocked. We got their early, knowing they gave out more tickets than the Orbit Room could hold. We stood out in the cold mist for an hour and then in the club for another hour to wait for them to go on stage. I wanted to be right up front, and wore my red cloak because she was going to see Lady Of War for the first time. They were the starting band and she started with Isis
sister oh divine one
lady of the heavens
prophets speak of your light
isis speaks, oh giver of life
oh levitate, oh levitate
now speak
now speak to me
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa speak!
CHORUS
blood of my blood
seed of my seed
hear thy name
X3
she whispers to oblige
her words control the mind
her voice demands attention
she, she speaks with conviction
of leviate, oh leviate
now speak
now speak to me
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa speak!
CHORUS
blood of my blood
seed of my seed
thy golden shield
X3
As soon as she started singing, she spotted me and smiled and winked so I knew she knew I was there. It was awesome. I don't generally like the heavy stuff, but the variety of tempo and strong lyrics just pulled me in. It wasn't "alternative Rock" like the rest of the bands there that night so I think some people didnt know what to do with their music. I totally go into it and honestly forgot I was in a room full of people except for the occasional rush of energy that slammed into my back. The 4th song was Lady of War which she wrote about Sekhmet and I was blown away. She had sent me the lyrics so I knew what they words were, but I didnt know the music, although I admit singing it in my head when I read them. The music was very much like what I had imagined but obviously better. I found myself singing with her through the chorus. It's one version of the story of Sekhmet and I will post them here when she gives me permission.
They played a few more songs and were done for the night as there were 6 other bands including Fuel to go on that night. We left, as that is all we were there for, and went to the area where they were selling t-shirts and such. Aziza walked out so I was able to see her before we left. She said she noticed I was singing Lady of War with her and thought that was cool. There was a group around her, all trying to get her attention so we only talked for a minute or two and she thanked us for coming and invited me out to lunch next week to meet her boyfriend. She is going to try and come to our local pagan group gatherings in December so she can meet everyone else.
My parents watched the kids so they had a blast, too. It was a great night and the only bad part was knowing that someone very dear to me isn't feeling well. I found myself thinking of her throughout the night and wishing she were there with us and feeling better. She would have loved it.
