I want to write about it before I forget. Tonight was possibly one of the most amazing nights of my life. I just. I have never been to a better concert ever. Ever! Yehudit Ravitz is my favorite Israeli artist, hands down, and I never ever dreamed I would get to see her live because seriously, how lucky can a girl get?? But two days ago, I walked onto campus and a guy handed me a flyer for her show and literally, I jumped up and down and possibly squealed a little bit. She is incredible and talented and wonderful and I love her!
So tonight was the show and wow. Even though I didn't know most of the songs she played (since I have mostly very old songs of hers. Very old. Like super-80s), it was incredible and she was on fire and everyone in the audience was so into it! There was dancing and singing and waving arms and so much clapping! I screamed so hard I got light headed, okay. Anyways. It was all great, the concert was over but then! Encore! And Yehudit Ravitz, that wonderful woman, comes back on stage and plays MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME seriously. I can't lie guys, I cried. Just a little, and then I had to sing along, duh, but there were tears. It was gorgeous and there was flute-playing and oh my god. So much I want to say but let's see if I can shorten the list: awesome brass section, hilarious guitarist who kept trying to dance with the brass section, hot bassist who looked a bit like Jude Law, awesome drummer and keyboard dude, and super awesome Yehudit oh my goodness. I love her.
Okay I'm done gushing, I swear. It was so wonderful and I feel so lucky to have been there. Moving on! I had my first tutoring session today and I think it went really well! The girl is great and we had fun talking and learning English, it was a good time. I'm excited to do this more!
And now I need to go to bed. Class tomorrow, but not too early. Then who knows?

That concert sounds amazing! Brass? Flutes? You need to show me her music some time! Also, I totally know how you feel because I was just as moved when I saw Emily Haines. I definitely cried too hahaha. I love how music has that effect on people; it's one of the reasons I think music is so incredible.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm glad tutoring went well!!! :)
I totally will! She's so incredible, jeez. And yes! I love how music makes me feel! I love how music makes other people feel! I love music! I am basically known as the music-crazy girl in my group of friends here.
ReplyDeleteIt did! It was fun! :)
not a bad reputation, I'd say! I started introducing my music to other SSPCers. We'll see if it catches on. :)
ReplyDeleteHow's it going? What did you play them? Who did you play it for?
ReplyDeletehaha well I got Brennan into Florence + the Machine! I basically made a mixed cd for Sarah and then on the drive to KOA we played the cd in the car. It's a good mixed cd, so hopefully she likes it! I think she said she does. btw I have more Greg Laswell to show you among other things! Do you have any favorite songs from the plethora of mixed cds?
ReplyDeleteYay! Good work! And I'm sure she loved the cd. Yay for more Greg Laswell! I love him! As for favorites...Mowgli's Road is high up there. As is We Were Promised Jetpacks. But seriously, I pretty much love every song on there. It's all I listen to these days!
ReplyDeleteyay! I was pretty much obsessed with both of those songs at one point or another! I'm oh so glad you love the cds :)
