civil, I love how you captured the feeling of getting to experience a favorite artist live and soak in the music and art and atmosphere. beautiful. beautiful.🩵
CIVIL! I am in awe of your writing. You transported me to a beautiful place! For whatever reason, I felt like I was at an old Josh Ritter concert, when The Animal Years had just come out. (I'm dating myself!)
"You're being a bit too much...It's just music after all." I can't tell you how many times I have uttered this words. It's NEVER just music, my friend, and I know you know this! Please never stop penning these beautiful words that stun me and leave me in awe.
thank you so much for reading and your kind words, Kristine! it's so nice for me to have a fellow lover of music here! I am delighted not to be alone in the thinking of "too much" - it's always moving us in some direction, isn't it? even if it's pure cheek (looking at you, S&G!) also, should i add Animal Years to my repertoire? i am genuinely always open to suggestions for listening! it sounds like it was an *amazing* experience for you!
I'm listening to the album right now! I feel like you'd appreciate it. Neko Case's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood came out that same year. I wish we could make mix tapes for each other 🥹
I was entranced by your words, friend! I felt like I was there with you, breathing more easily, and happy to see you feeling alive and awakened. (I'm excited to discover this new music too!)
thank you so much, friend! the words alive and awake coming to mind make me so, so happy! it was genuinely such a nice night (i am crossing my fingers we were kind enough to the artist, too!)
This is beautiful Civil. If I were annotating this, the whole article would be a mass of highlights. Your lyrical prose is stunning. It sounds like you had a lovely evening. I’m so glad!
oh my, Laura! thank you so much! having you annotate would be an absolute treasure for me, and i know your notes would be beautifully coordinated and outlined! extra bonus! it will be an evening to remember. thank you again for reading! <3

"holding our tiny storms of hidden melancholy" — this line made me draw a sharp breath, and I read it and read it and read it again. ❤️
thank you so much, Deidre! i mulled over and debated that line for a long while, so i am delighted it landed! <3
