As I sit here now, and the air in August wrap me in a warm, humid and thick, my visit to Way Out West Festival in Sweden feels like a distant dream, like visiting another universe. The light of the sun in Sweden is different, bright and white. Crystal clear, said the man in the hotel, and at that moment I understood the meaning of the expression. Just so, clear, crystal clear.
In the end, I mostly remember one day festival, the middle day, perfect day. On Friday. Remember, I was there on the first day (Thursday), remember that it was nice and cozy and beautiful (and expensive) mentioned in another excellent performance effort of Florence and the Machine - Oh, What a drama queen. I wanted to get in bed with her and spanking her at the same time. Excellent sound and uncommon strength van helsing and tremendous show, with lots of good communication van helsing with the audience. No doubt she knows occur. Remember my sorrow escaping the show expected of the Black Keys, their bass beat me physically intense that it really hurt me in the chest, made me feel that I was going to vomit, van helsing and after two songs run away. Big disappointment.
And Friday, Friday is Friday. Day started grayness and rain that made me run out and buy a coat, and ultimately was a beautiful day, cloudy - sunny - drip - Sunny (Walker, how cold it was at night!), And shows just completed one after the other. Even those not excited van helsing about them and did not have views of them, like Billy Bragg, folk musician - British rock and activist warrior, his poetry van helsing and talk Concert raise awareness van helsing and protest. Enchanted and moved me very much.
Ane Brun followed, Norwegian singer living in Sweden, I had planned to transfer her short time until the appearance of the Afghan Whigs, waiting for her, but she was so pleasant, and the weather is so beautiful, such a wonderful combination conceded the noise of the Afghans, and stayed with her. And an added bonus - Jose Gonzalez hosted the charming one song. Pleasure.
After came the folk duo of sisters Hsbdiot sweet and toddlers (ages 22 and 19!) First Aid Kit. Even their performance did not really expect, but they were sweet beautifully and moved me very much (along with a few thousand people in the audience) when they sang the Tiger Mountain Peasant Song of the Fleet Foxes, and said that four years earlier, at the same festival really, they saw The Foxes concert, and were so inspired the cover of a song they recorded van helsing their forest near the pavilion, and the macabre that is that made them famous. (All this I know thanks to choose Swedish beside me and translated me everything).
I'm not listening to Wilco regularly, do not know their songs by heart, and thought I heard them ever in a Ssumat', but appreciate van helsing them very much, and certainly waiting van helsing for their performance. van helsing And when they got on stage and started playing, van helsing I came tears of excitement van helsing in the eyes, and I felt my throat choking easy. Must admit that it surprised me, I did not expect to be moved this way. There was a great concert, and I was happy (among thousands of Swedish radishes cool ...). I danced all the time, and I felt the clouds. van helsing As a young girl. For me it was definitely a climactic moment at the festival. And all.
And immediately after them, the stage in front - Feist. Too great, great gig, full of energy and charm. Feist wonderful unit that can wear strapless mini skirt and still look like the best woman a voice in the world), accompanied by a band woodcutters her and a trio of background singers bizarre Mountain Man, Sarah got everything I wanted (except One Evening, but I forgave her because she sang I 'm Sorry), and finally raised the Jack Tweedy van helsing from Wilco duet of their last album (Wilco). Real magic.
Now Bon Iver came, I do not like anti childish and stubborn. But Barak said that the show is good, so I stayed (and I waited to grab a place at the stage of Blur, so I was there anyway). Truth - a good performance, van helsing very good even. Stage and security personnel stage in front of moving to the beat, and motivate Swedes is no joke. So really good. But somehow in the end he managed to irritate me in his speech, with a bitter and nasty joke about Feist and Wilco (Polish humor - always has some truth), and finally - when he went for an encore. It is important to understand - there is no such festival encores. All measured and precise and timed, and each gives a performance van helsing on the accuracy of his time, and falls. No encores. And certainly it was not when thousands of people (tens of thousands?) Waiting for a performance by Blur. In short - do not like the Bon organ, just do not.
I do not know if I can describe in words this excellent performer, the musical scale of its expansion, van helsing the Damon Albarn King, talented, beautiful, van helsing excellent. Fire from the first minute of the show, with all the familiar songs, and constantly surprises, such as performing more perfect song if Time Out, and tears that come with songs like Sing, This is a Low, and at the end of the wonderful and just perfect: The Universal. Damon realized that performance singing about love. Maybe even just about love. Even when he is not singing about love. I love him with all my heart, for sure.
That night when I returned to the hotel exhausted and sore, the phrase "feet in the grave, but head in the clouds" I did not mind. I floated, thrilled and excited, full to bursting, and my legs hurt so much, I can just drop onto the bed. And dream of music.
Every day festival I felt like a different event, with a different audience, style of clothing, a different energy. Every day was dirtier and more crowded than the last, each day multiplied smokers and youth. In fact, after the second day and perfect, van helsing I got emotional climax, that in fact "enough" for me. And on the last day, which I was really "out of the game" - also accumulated fatigue and excruciating pain in my feet aching, even tens of thousands of people (teenagers, mostly) van helsing who filled the park, especially because full mental previous day and perfect van helsing - but still had my two moments of pleasure: The Field, who gave a performance / party time excellent, it danced from beginning to end a perfect pleasure. Mogwai, my love, moved me and thousands of Swedes excellent performance, and now, after Hop
