This moment is fairly recent and may not seem that significant but I really remember being happier than I have ever been before. If there is one thing that someone could learn about me it is that I love love love love love going to concerts. Last year I went to Coachella and so the whole experience was a whirlwind of happiness for me. I remember one moment in particular though where everything around me as well as I, myself was in accordance with one another. At this time it seemed like there was nothing else that i should have been doing other than standing in the one spot, listening to this one song, and feeling the way I did. Anyways, this moment occurred when the band Phoenix played the song "Love Like a Sunset." They must have planned this perfectly because they performed it just as the sun was setting. Even as I watch the video now, in the eight minutes in took them to play the song the sky turns from blue to black.
I remember the wind slightly blowing and the sun setting and everybody gently swaying to the music. Right then with a big smile on my face I honestly thought, "there is nowhere I'd rather be." I felt so light, like I was full of air myself. The whole scene felt like a movie or a projection of my life instead of reality. I have been to many concerts before and I always experience this similar feeling. However, not until this moment had it been so profound and overtaking of all my senses. I remember this as one of my most happy experiences. It was one where the abstract world of music and art which I claim so often to live in became real in the actual world I am a part of, and I will never forget it.
