Sigh

Things I want to do or have but (might have) missed the chance... [Mostly concerts]

Numero Uno:

SEVEN SWANS by Sufjan Stevens

If I'm not mistaken, this album is almost a decade old. But it's the first album I felt like I NEEDED to have in my possession. As my sister was hunting for my graduation present, she told me the only Sufjan Stevens album available in Rock Corner is 'Age of Adz', which she remarked as "too weird, don't think you'll like it" (she bought a Michael Jackson encyclopedia, which was really lovely of her :) ) I did listen to a few tracks from Age of Adz, and she was right. But I think anything produced from the musical genius is a masterpiece and should be given a chance. So yeah might buy that album if it's still around the shelves. I'll be going on a second hand store hunt to find Seven Swans when I get to the US (InsyaAllah).

Number two:

Kings of Convenience DECLARATION OF DEPENDANCE TOUR

THEY CAME TO MALAYSIA AND I MISSED THEM! T_T
Gosh I am sooo devastated when I realize how utterly magnifique the DoD album was. I couldn't stop replaying "Me In You" and it never fails to bring me to tears!(exaggeration here) The song wasn't sad or anything, and I may sound cheesy by saying this, but the music is just that beautiful and moving. "24-25" gave me chills every time, the melody was humbling and safe-feeling. Like a song you'd always want to listen to when you're lying down in bed with nothing to do but cuddling a pillow or stuffed animal and listen to a soothing lullaby. When I was still in MRSM Langkawi in 10th grade, a dear friend told me that Kings of Convenience will be performing in Malaysia. Being that I was rather naive in terms of transportation and the fact that I was living in an island for almost the whole year, far far away from KL, I was very very disappointed(So is that friend btw). But at that time I only knew a few songs from them,("Misread" and "I'd rather dance") I never knew the existence of DoD and the fact that they were on tour for that particular album. But now, 3 years later when I had JUST fallen in love with that album, oy vey :'(



Number 3:

FOSTER THE PEOPLE

Again, this wonderful band came to Malaysia and I missed it. And it was the most unfortunate miss too, I was interested in the band after they came and the year they came was when I was more savvy and brave public transportation. I had enough dough too :/

And now for the most recent and MOST DEVASTATING(I think) miss:
THE XX COEXIST US TOUR

Needless to say, their tour will end at September, and the shows available when I'll be in the states are far far away from the place I reside.

Dang you Bonerland, why do you have so many huge states? T_T

Well it's okay, I guess I'll just have to experience a concert sometimes else. Hopefully when I'm more balanced in terms of income and husband.

That will be all.
