Do not decode these cries of mine, they are the road and not the sign

Music Memories

As I was driving in my car yesterday i listened to something I hadn't in a few weeks. I put on the bootleg of Jonsi's concert at Laugardashol in Reykjavik, specifically the closing song "Grow Til Tall". It's amazing to me how within just the first few notes i could remember being exactly in that moment. Sitting in an Icelandic sports hall, not being able to remember how long it had been since i slept last. Feeling that overtired bittersweet concert feeling where you love each song, but somewhere deep down hoping it's the last song because you have nothing left to give as a listener.

I remember looking at my beautiful new wife at my side, surely more tired than myself, both of us ready to get a good night's sleep and begin our adventure in Iceland.


What a great night that was, and how amazing that technology and music let me re-live that moment.
