be calm
So the fun. concert to-night was fantastic in many, many ways.
But the thing that is going to stick with me, and forever be a memory of why it is so amazing to be an audience and share this live music experience, is from the last song of the encore. Like, it had been an amazing show up to this point - Nate Ruess is crazy fucking amazing with that VOICE, and that FACE while he puts his whole soul in his music and on that stage, and there was so much amazing energy in the room and I sang and danced my face off, but. In this last song there was a moment that was seriously unlike any concert moment I've had. He sang the words "I'm just a boy inside a voice" and in the pause after that line, the whole crowd fucking LOST IT. Like. We could not actually stop clapping and cheering. It went on for several minutes, and if he looked like he was going to try and start singing again, we'd just cheer louder, and his face looked so so overwhelmed and happy and proud and I don't KNOW, it just felt so amazing to give an artist that kind of spontaneous love and appreciation and celebration. They all looked so overwhelmed by it, and Nate could not stop smiling, this humble smile that he'd had going all night, and I obviously lost my shit and had tears running down my face because I am MADE OF EMOTIONS and ugh ugh ugh it was just a really fucking beautiful moment and it felt amazing to be a part of it and YEAH, THIS SHOW WAS REALLY GOOD. They are a really fucking special band.
FEELINGS.
