As I can remember I was
finishing my last year of secondary, so I was doing pre-university courses all
year weekends, far away from my home. So all friday nigths I stayed
with my sister in her place. But... that day was the exception because I lied to my mom to go to
the concert. My best friend sister had a apartment in Santiago, and we decided
to go and sleep there. We went to Mac Demarco concert on 2016. He is a Canadian singer-songwriter,
multi-instrumentalist and producer, and his style of music has been
described as "blue wave" and "slacker rock" or,
by called himself, "jizz jazz". The concert was at Blondie
night club. This is literally an ‘’underground’’ place, so the air was sticky,
hot and our skin were wet. It was a really crazy show, when the song ‘ode to viceroy’ played everyone
lighted a cigarette and all people started to push each other or dancing, it was
insane. Then Mac jumped on the public, and he missed one of his red Vans shoes.
We had a really great time with my best friend. My mom never knew.
If I have to choose one album that I consider relatable, beautiful and extremely interesting for the history behind and itself I will choose one called ‘’For Emma, Forever Ago’’ by the indie folk band called Bon Iver. I want to make clear that I said band, but really, is just Justin Vernon (the vocalist) who create the whole thing, and the other people just play with him in the shows, as a ‘’band’’. In 2006, Justin Vernon moved to a remote cottage of his father in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin when the winter starts. After the breakup of his long time band and also with his girlfriend, he got sick of mononucleosis, he wanted to escape from every human being and surrounded himself with quiet and space. He lived there alone for three months. In that time of isolation he discover a new voice, literally, he starts to sing in falsetto, and he began to improvise with his guitar to finally record the whole album by himself. This album make me feel so many ...
I dont listened Mac de Marco yet, but its a great anecdote to tell and to remember for your music life.
