An evening with @laurieandersonofficial at the millennium centre with high-brow music journalist @jelliellie251 - who was i turn down this invite? My summary of the evening: it was like being visited by your cool, globetrotting aunty who turns up sporadically and keeps you up all night telling cool stories of their travels, just as you're about to drift off, she starts again and pulls you back into that beautiful realm between sleep and wake. No, no, I wasn't bored I was just, safe, in this realm. I wish I had been in bed for the whole thing. It was like a sweet dream, subtle warnings and gentle philosophies crept my way, gentle soundscapes protected me as this pillar of perspective told harrowing tales of their childhood, from screaming vets to almost drowned twins, but it all came calmly and soothingly, a stark contrast to the world outside... Also a mentioned subject, but it all felt so far away and everything seems so easy to remedy when Laurie Anderson says it in a pitched down monster voice. "Learn to feel sad without being sad" will still with me, "when my dad died it was like a whole library burnt down" will stick with me... I'll be reflecting like a mirror for weeks. A gentle, warm and inviting show that was only for the people who were there, endearing, sweet and thoughtful, a real whiplash to the loud, sweaty nonsense I'm usually listening to. Sublime. Really appreciated the tai chi lesson, a beautiful end to a show and a strange way to bring lou reed closer to me? Haha! Mum will like that. #laurieanderson #concerts #musicinwales
