Crisis mode. I'm 100% positive that satan planned The 1975 and James Bay playing in the same city, on the same night. What a nightmare; I mean, how are you supposed to decide between the two -- especially when The 1975 just released a bombass record and James Bay is James Bay?! I had already seen The 1975 once in 2014 and the James Bay tickets were a gift for my birthday, so naturally, I decided to stick with 'em and not sell it.. well and I guess he's just that good.

Something that stood out to me was a line he sang:

"Get out, get out while you still can

don't let the night slip through your hands

the world is wide from where you stand

so, get out, get out while you still can"

I never quite paid attention to this song as much as the others, but for some reason it resonated at that specific time and place. Often, I find myself falling into a "rut", when everything seems to fall through. It made me realize that this world is so wide and so vast that I have no reason to be ungrateful for anything, really. I have so much left to do, and to let it all just slip through my hands is a waste.

Falling in love with live show photography all over again. Hoping the rest of 2016 is one for building my camera skills and what not.

I can close my eyes and see it play over in my head. I've been to many, many live shows but James Bay takes a spot amongst one of the very best I've seen. If you ever have a chance to see him.... 10/10 recommend. Go hear his beautiful voice.
