I just got VersaEmerge's new record put on my iPod today, right? (If you haven't heard of VersaEmerge/gotten their record yet, I highly recommend it. It's fucking amazing) So. I was looking through Sierra, the lead singer's, tumblr and saw what she posted about the record...
"Vultures
i have an assignment for you.
when you get our record, wait till everyone is asleep and sneak out of your house.
when you do, walk around your nieghborhood or wherever and listen to the last track of our cd. its a very special moment. trust me, i just did it. it will all make sense"
So I did exactly that, right? I can now say my mind has been fucking blown. The lyrics are amazing and Sierra's voice is amazing and my night has been amazing. I never thought I could actually feel that close to someone/something. It was so calming, too. For the first time in my life, I can seriously say that where I live is beautiful. I was able to see the stars after ignoring them for so long...
After walking up and down my street twice, I ventured around the corner, hoping to be able to walk around the entire neighborhood despite all the creepers who live in it. I walked around maybe half of it, just taking in the night air. It felt as though I was the only person in the entire world; it was so quiet. Sure, I love noise just as much as the next person but silence? It really is golden.
So yeah. I walked around maybe half of my neighborhood then heard a guy's voice. Being the scared little pussy inside that I am, I walked away from the source of the voice and went back to my house. Despite it being a good 92 degrees outside and humid as all fuck, I sat in my front yard, just listening to music and staring up at the stars. I got bit my mosquitoes maybe 6 times, but hell. It was worth it.
To all you pussies out there who are sitting inside doing absolutely nothing all summer, I suggest you put your headphones in your ears, choose your favourite album to listen to, and walk around your neighborhood or to God Knows Where until the album is over. It'll be worth it. Trust me
