the magic of music. setting the tone for any environment, music holds the ability to reverse moods, turning rage into passion, tears into smiles. it allows for meditations to set in, personalities to be energized, maniacs to relax, and closets to be opened. all senses are enhanced.
setting everyone's mood on fire, anything seems possible amongst the melody, allowing the feelings of love and happiness to float through the air. there was nothing better than attending a music festival half way across the world with artists that are admired by millions. running from stage to stage to catch the next best act. musical fire running through our systems, sharing song and dance with people you've never met but now share a common bond.
music can change anything.
m.i.a, sia, lupe fiasco, ratatat, deftones, birds of tokyo, lcd sound system, john butler trio, edward sharp, angus and julia stone, tool , the list goes on. "big day out" is the coachella of oz and i was lucky enough to attend it!
"i love you" - i don't know you, but "I love you."
i wanted to SCREAM. "i know how you feel sia." the same thoughts and feelings have come rushing through my body a millions times over. i often have felt an overwhelming love for complete strangers for no apparent reason. multiple times have willingly handed out my heart to random people in the world. and i've never thought twice about it. i've often been accused for being too liberal with my love, and right now that accusation seems ludicrous. how can one be patronized for loving too much…..? how had i allowed for people's judgements to attack my mind, giving them the ability to change my personality? shame on me.

i felt so amazing inside, there were people all around the world that were just like me. people filled with so much love that they wanted to share it with everyone.
it may have been the drug induced state that allowed everyone else to feel what ran through my veins on a daily basis, uncontrollable love bursting at the seams. but if that's what it took i didn't care, it was nice to finally have people on my level.
