Gone

You’ve lost control again

You don’t know where you are

Or where you’ve been

You’ve been going for so long now

The days are beginning to blur

You question how you got here

And then you remember the liquor

The way you let it consume your all

And devour you from the inside out

You lost yourself along the way

And now find yourself without

You tell yourself this is the last time

That you’re tired of feeling so gone

That you want to feel alive

And you’re ready for a new dawn

But you say that each time

As I hold back your hair

I continue rubbing your back

And imagine were elsewhere

Surrounded by mountains

Or in a house by the sea

But what’s the use of dreaming

If you’re not there beside me

Life Is Beautiful, September, 2015.

For me, there's just something about music.

There's something about getting lost in the lyrics and the instruments and the way the artist makes it seem like he's speaking directly to you, and not every other person on the planet.

All of this is even more enhanced when it's live. Not to mention, being able to vibe with hundreds, if not thousands of other people who feel the same way you do. As you jump to every song and scream your lungs out, or close your eyes to take in the feeling around you, right in that moment. You're all riding the same wave.

Music creates this universal connection between people and god, is it beautiful.

The last weekend of September, 2015, I was able to experience the Life Is Beautiful festival. Let me tell you, it was one of the greatest experiences. Words can't fully express it, but in an attempt to, it was simply incredible.

Below are some shots taken over the 3 day festival, including some shots of the artwork that now covers so many walls downtown. Calling it beautiful would be a mere understatement. Enjoy! xoxo.

Bands pictured include: Atmosphere, Twenty One Pilots, Duran Duran, Imagine Dragons, Brandon Flowers and The Killers, Weezer, and Death Cab for Cutie.)
