I cannot explain, nor describe what the experience was like. It was by far one of the most profound and beautiful experiences I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. Simply incredible. The opening act plays trombone for Sigur Ros, his name was Helgi Jonsson. His voice was absolutely gorgeous and music quite amazing. I could hear that he is quite obviously influenced by Sigur Ros, but his music was different enough to qualify him for a good complement to the main act.
Sigur Ros came on stage with the 4 members, a string quartet, and later an additional brass quintet. Insane. Many new songs from the new album were played, all of which were phenomenal (obviously). One of the main events, for me, was the closing number (before the encore) where they played their new single Gobbeledigook. The new single is quite different than their formal material. The song is acoustically based and very drum and percussion heavy. It was amazing seeing them play it last night as probably 6 or 7 members played huge drums for the number while another 4 or 5 provided the handclaps and backing vocals. Incredible.
This week has been wonderful. Have been working frequently at the AE. It is okay right now. My internship is amazing. I cannot stop shouting the praises of Bridgeway and what they are about and who they are. Beautiful. I cannot believed how blessed I am to be here and part of this community for this amount of time. Amazing. How good is God that he allowed me this opportunity. Wonderful.
I miss my friends and I love them. I miss my family and I love them. But, I know what I am doing here will be forming and shaping and will be important for my future and who I will be. Not that time with friends or family would not be, but I feel like this might be a different type of impact.
I really need to work on homework.
Peace.
