You only live once.
Coldplay are a phenomenal band. Their music tends towards the epic in a way that can only be fully appreciated once listened to live in concert with 100,000 others. It's funny how I listen to music alone, wishing I was enjoying it in a crowd, but only feel truly satisfied by live music when it makes me feel - among throngs of people - that I am completely alone.
As lines of the new album hit me, I remember the optimistic swells of that October night. I want to thrive. I want to jump. I want to fall. I want to be a comma, living without wanting, without waiting. Not stuck or unsure or ambiguous, but leaping.
Life's already here, man!
