Resolution
Train long gone

The first time I saw Tool perform was when I realised how tight a live show really could be (Opeth is a very close second).

So naturally when I saw that Puscifer would be playing in a few days I was intrigued. Life events and same-day tickets made the decision. And what a great decision it was.

It was like watching a play. No phones (although I wish I’d taken my film camera). The whole show was so clean. The lighting was fantastic.

Normal isn’t
Forgetting doesn’t
Soothing hasn’t
Footing and balance ravaged

Oh serenity
Tranquility

I even took out my earplugs.

–Puscifer: Normal Isn’t

PS: Best trilogy ever?

From now
We’ll find no
We’ll find no peace of mind

Stolen
From every prayer I’ve had
That’s where I’ll start
With every moment

I lay my trust
In my defeat
And determinedly
Embrace it

We battle the time
We’re nothing

From this
We’ll find no
We’ll find no place to hide

So sing that tune for me
Now that we’re all alone
I never thought I would see
The stars gable

I lay my trust
In my defeat
And determinedly
Embrace it

I hear it now
The haloed choir
I always knew
It’d come back to you

But what do we know
We know nothing
–Juni Habel

A chance find at the local record store (one should absolutely judge an album by it’s cover!), and now I’ll be seeing her perform live in a week. Excitement abounds!

Approaching guiding light
Our shallow years in fright
Dreams are made, winding through my head
Through my head

Through my head, through my head
Before you know
Before you know
I will be waiting, all awake

Dreams are made, winding through her hair
Dreams are made, winding through her hair

The piercing radiant moon
–System of a Down

Young-adult and present me were thrilled, and M was a fantastic concert co-conspirator.
