Concert

Date: 8/23/2020

Arriving late to a performance held in my old schools assembly hall. I walk quickly to the very back as the woman is about to begin singing. I find a seat and notice everyone is social distancing, sort of. I see that it’s Sharon van Etten who is going to sing which is surprising as I the even, even though it’s in my old school, is a festival I like to go to; but she would never play at. I notice the restless feeling I’m familiar with; a feeling that comes with not having made it known enough to people you how excited you were for seeing someone play - you feel like you haven’t claimed the event as something linked to you. Which of course is a ridiculous pattern of behaviour. Yet, there it is, still present in me - and I assume in other people as well.
