Gravity Rides Everything

Just went to TWO amazing shows within 4 days of each other! It was a perfect exhibition of live music at its finest.

May 26th @ The Knitting Factory
Modest Mouse
Openers: Talkdemonic

Loved the violin!





2. Modest Mouse

I was beyond impressed with this show! My friend told me I wouldn't be let down, definitely wasn't. A recent song I am in LOVE with is "Gravity Rides Everything", loved the live rendition! This song is a current life anthem for me, I NEED it! Incredible.

Their lyrics are genius!


Oh, got to see, got to know right now
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all

Oh, got to see, got to know right now
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan

Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep

In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place

Oh, got to see, got to know right now
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all

Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet
I want to go back to sleep

In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But I won't stop until you float away


May 30 @ The Knitting Factory
Iron & Wine
Openers:  The Head and The Heart


1. The Head and The Heart
I love their energy! So much fun.  They also have a great vibe to their music.

Love the lyrics to this one!


Gorgeous.




2. Iron & Wine

He has the most amazing singing voice, I cannot believe how immaculate he sounds live! I love his stage presence, he does a great job at making the crowd feel involved.

"Naked As We Came" ENCORE!! Couldn't have been a better choice. I couldn't help but sing along which I was apprehensive about since I am so loud when I sing. When the song was over the guy in front of me told me that I have a lovely singing voice. Once in awhile I don't mind those compliments, especially in such an amazing moment!



A fave right now (that he didn't play live).


Love.


This is also AMAZING!


You should listen to his entire discography! Also his new album "Kiss Each Other Clean" is very different from his other stuff. But still awesome!



Well I look forward to some other amazing shows in the future!
