Phoenix - "in Paris we clap like this"
Aside from the fact that their musical climaxes melt my heart and speak to my soul, Phoenix is a beloved band to me. This smattering of Parisian princes have been whispering the good word in my ear for a few years now. Alright, alright maybe you have heard of them by now due to their recent sell-out to Ford commercials and blockbuster movies, but truly their sound is one of energy and love. I have let go of that notion of "not liking anything because it's popular." It's exhausting- I like Phoenix, Snuggies, Taylor Swift, Pride and Prejudice and Veganism. (to name a few) Best part of the evening is when they were doing an encore song, the song started slow- queue the instruments, the movement, buildup, the emotion... it was building, then all of a sudden the people in the front (us) were welcomed to dance on stage with them for the remainder. it was absolutely brilliant. they made my heart soar that night. See you in Paris soon- my loves.
