Rilo Kiley & Tilly and the wall -- CONCERT
I went to see Rilo Kiley play on campus with Jessie (the "cool" girl I met). It was a free show. Tilly and the wall opened for 'em. It was the most amazing show ever!
It's great when a band plays with such passion. You could breathe it in the air. Feel it in your pulse when the speaks blasted the music. It was so...amazing. Wow. I don't know.
Tilly and the wall was really something. They had one chick up on stage who was just up there doing tap dancing to the music. I've never seen such a thing. Their music was a lot like Rilo Kiley's, but with two chicks and a dude singing. It rocked.
Rilo Kiley was so much fun. They charged the stage. Started off with a song that I had actually heard before! I thought that was pretty cool. Man. I loved their music. Some bands really suck live, but they really rocked. They had so many instruments. So much going on at once on that small stage. A cello, trumpet, a bass, drums, guitars.
When Rilo Kiley was done with their set, the crowd started chanting and clapping. Finally the band came back out with some of the members of Tilly and the wall.
The lead sing of Rilo sang...ready for this?! Such Great Heights. In acoustic! Holy smokes. It was a sign. I had to tell Nicole. (More to come on this later)
When they were done playing, they played one more song and all the girls did a tap dancing gig. It was funky. Woot woot.
they will see us waving from such great
heights, "come down now," they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
"come down now," but we'll stay...
Okay, wow. wowow. ...Nicole. Such Great Heights. This song is...something else. It tears me apart. It's just one of those songs. The entire audience was singing along to the accoustic, and meanwhile, Jessie had never heard of it. It was really a sign. I mean, I don't know. I'm in love with Nicole. When I got home I told her. I told her all about the concert and how I got her a copy of Rilo Kiley's CD and Tily and the wall (even got 'em autographed!!) and...I told her about how they played the Postal Service's song. Then I told her. I said it. I said, "I freakin' love you, Nicole." Yeah, so romantic. I know. I've told her before. But...ugh. I feel like such a loser.
I think I caught her...offguard? I can never figure her out...but...maybe that's good. Maybe I'm not supposed to. It's an aching feeling. The kind where you just ran a mile in the bitter cold and your lungs are iced over. I need her like I need air. Someone save me from this feeling. I love her and there's nothing I can do about it.
