The concert was awesome. The first song was called "flying My Guilt Over A Quilt" It’s a new song, and I will have heard it, way before millions of people would. It’s an awesome song, has this trotting guitar rift that just keeps you in pace. Nodding your head, the lyrics are very unusual, very urban and contemporary. He is about to board a plane, and he explains the process... x-ray machine etc. He remembers little things about her that only people that are in love really notice... and he softly sings the chorus…
I'm leaving your town, again / but I'm over the quilt you've been spinning / and I'm up in the air, yeah / but i can see your house from here / ...if the plane goes down / I'll remember where the love was found
The chorus pretty much did it for me, and the concert could have not possibly been bad and it wasn’t. I notice how great his lyrics are, you have to pay attention to them to notice. It’s kind of cool that if his plane would go down, that he would remember that. It seems like some sort of solace to the situation ‘We’ll at least ill die where love was found.’ It’s interesting because I think I would just be in shock that I was going to die.
He told anecdotes, jokes, sang a little opera, a little Spanish. He was funny as hell, and very likeable. The theater was awesome, looked like a church, very intimate, decorated with the different sorts of designs. The acoustics were right on track. It was a good time. I can’t believe everyone past on the opportunity…
Oh and I met him and got an autograph. A celebrity. My first celebrity and all I can think about was how crazy it must feel. To have girls scream your name just because you sing and are on TV. And that’s the only reason girls do it, you can’t tell me that they would do the same if he was just a regular Joe. I just wish i could play the guitar like him... or have a guitar.
