Explosions in my Brain

The more I think about it, the more I am moved by the Explosions in the Sky show I went to last night. It was in many ways a very simple and powerful expression of I am not really sure what. All I know is that as I took everything in I mused about how 4 dudes with normal instruments (normal in that there weren't any keyboards, apple computers, synthesizers, or the like - just 2 guitars, a bass, and a simple drum set) could make me feel they way I was feeling at that moment. And here I am 24 hours later more affected now than I was during the show. How does it happen? I do not know, but I am eternally grateful for it...really.

It is experiences such as this that cause me to really think about the things that are really important in life. It is strange that music can do that. I think I may have lost sight of what is important in some ways. I don't know. I think that because of the rapid change I have experienced lately it has left me...well, again I don't know. And I don't think I am really ready to explain it because I just don't know. Anyways, I am going to work on getting a clip up from the show.

I think music has the same effect on you that being at a baseball game has on me. I feel ya dude. I feel ya.
