This week was a great reminder about the universality of music and how it’s a force to bring people together for a common experience. This isn’t something that’s a new revelation to me but sometimes it’s something that I need to be reminded of from time to time. I went out this week to catch Fly By Midnight, who give major Parade of Lights (miss them so much!!) vibes. I watched people in the crowd who were familiar with the band feel the music a la The Maine show I went to. I made a new friend while standing out in the cold (yes, it was in the 50s or 60s, it was cold) to be let in and I spent my night at a table with a lovely couple I had met that night. We bonded over mutual feelings of the first band, laughed about life, and had a lovely time together! I hope to run into them at another show sometime in the future. But, it’s a new week, so let’s see what’s up…
