Day 7

wow..is it really so long since I posted here? I had forgotten all about this so maybe I need to refocus and get on with it a bit... So, day 7 is/was "a song that reminds you of a certain event" The list isn't helpful in that it doesn't specifiy whether it should be a happy or sad event.

In spring 2012 I was diagnosed with a skin cancer on the side of my face and although it is/was entirely treatable, at the time it was all very very scary for me. The day I received my diagnosis I headed to Blackpool to watch The Vaccines live at the Winter gardens. I went on my own and for a couple of hours I was entirely lost in the music, the energy and the moment. I was jammed in about 2/3 rows from the front, the crowd was very energetic, it was hot, sweaty and the wooden sprung floor was bouncing like you wouldn't believe. It was a brilliant and amazing gig and just what I needed that day. The song "Wetsuit" was one of my fave songs at the time and I really wanted to hear it live... it is forever linked to that particular day and my diagnosis now. I still love the song, loud is good with this one!

 

This is the link to the video that someone (much further back than me) actually took that night, the sound quality isn't that great but you can see what kind of a gig it was.
