Jewel

See that I have not been updating and that means I'm settling into the life here.
Why?
Because when you move into a comfort zone, get too used to a mundane and routine life, there ain't any exciting moments or memorable events that are worth documentating. And of cause, some that you might not wanna disclose.

Well except maybe for this...

Jewel's concert.
The most simple yet sweetest concert I've been to.

An empty stage, except for 2 guitar racks (each with a guitar of cause), 2 amplifier, a mic on its stand, a little table draped in black cloth with a red cup and a pot of brightly coloured plant on it.
Slightly left of the stage. Under the rim of the spot light.

Nothing fascinating, nothing elaborate. Unless you are talking about Jewel's vocal.
Powerful, high ranging, sometimes sweet sometimes roaring. I can feel it pierce through my skin.

And the unless entertaining comments and stories behind most songs. Belting out in her familiar hits, and the never released. Each one musically re-arranged. That's what makes it worthwhile to attend a concert, otherwise you might as well sit on your couch at home and continuously run your CD.

The crowd, so interactive. Whistles, claps, cheers, chants, song requests. So random. So spontaneous. And the standing ovation.

It's all so different. In a concert hall, or an auditorium so steep. Yet so nourishing. Fulfilling.

And not forgetting in the comfort of a sweet company, immersed in the chorus of beautiful music. Who, soaked in the rain, and did a sprint. It just about wraps up everything.
