But I could only make you cry with these words
i went to see belle and sebastian today.
belle and sebastian to me was like a nobody. it's just their music and their great, comforting voices. i didn't know how they looked like, i didn't know what's their favourite colour, i didn't know how they wore their clothes, i knew nothing about them and i liked it that way. their music was anonymous to me. i enjoyed their music so much i did not want to spoil it by finding out everything about them so i kept it that way. they especially remind me of days where the weather is the perfect combination of rain/cloudy and sunshine (sad and happy) and i'm lying in bed with a book with them accompanying me. and that is all there is to it, it was all very pure.
and then, today, i broke it.
i was sitting right in the middle, i saw everything. it all felt so surreal. i saw how stuart danced, how sarah had all these little instruments, how stevie's hair was. and it felt weird, i felt a little sad. they are actually real. and yet, two songs in, i sat there with the biggest grin on my face and tears in my eyes. they were charming and funny and i had a great time and then the encore came and stuart said that they honestly had a great time and then they left. gone.
i felt like i lost my only friend.
