Last night, I saw John Mayer in Birmingham.
Oh. My. Goodness.
Here are just a few thoughts I've collected about concerts:
1. According to Kelsey, we saw Coldplay entirely too early in life. They've set the standard incredibly high for every concert I have attended since. The past couple haven't come anywhere close to our Coldplay experience. I was beginning to lose hope, until...
2. John Mayer changed my mind. His concert... I don't even have words to describe his concert. It should be noted that I am still thinking about what an incredible night it was. I love it when artists can elicit emotions with music or lyrics that I would never feel otherwise. For me, this is the mark of a good concert... or really, good music in general.
3. I never realize that I know almost every word to every song of a band or artist until I see them live.
4. I love it when music is so loud that it shakes your core. Like... the pulse from the speakers shakes your whole body, and you're completely overwhelmed with the beat (in a good way)
5. Going to any concert immediately inspires a mental list of other bands that I would love to see live. This was no exception.
6. I admire John Mayer's talent. His lyrics are filled with one line wonders. "By the time I recognize this moment, this moment will be gone" and "It's not that we don't care, we just know that the fight ain't fair"... and really every single word of Edge of Desire - I really learned to appreciate his songwriting last night.
7. This is why I love John Mayer so much:
