coldplay // a head full of dreams

I remember when I was still a ten-year-old-something, my teenage cousin (named Chris too wew) from England was playing Yellow on speakers and I casually asked him what song he was listening to. He told me it was Yellow by Coldplay, and asked if I knew them. When I said I didn't, he said "How could you not know Coldplay? It's COLDPLAY!" Hahaha and I still don't know how big of a deal they are then and I never got hooked to their songs because I didn't understand them.

BUT I UNDERSTAND IT ALL NOW COLDPLAY. I understand your songs and I understand why you have such a large following. Last night was magical, it was a sky full of stars with so much faith in humanity restored. Thank you for making me feel so hopeful for life once again, that it makes living such a grand thing that I won't take for granted. You make me a head full of dreams <3

After my virgin concert with Jay Chou, I had doubts with the venue because I'm scared of the poor sound system again. Despite this I still went ahead for Coldplay with my friends and well still can't believe we bought standing pen A tickets. It still feels like a blur that we did? I honestly try not to think too much about the exact amount of money I spent on it. Good experience will make it worth it!!

First time being in the mosh pit - despite having to get used to people blocking your views with their hands/heads/phones/cameras, standing and jumping for the 2 hours or so... plus the humid weather and close body contact... well the pluses are that you get a really close up view and you don't have to worry about forgetting lyrics because the people around you will shout along and get you back on track. I am still figuring out myself how I'd like to enjoy a concert... And while you can watch things for free online, nothing beats experiencing it yourself at that spot with the crowd and everybody who loves a band so much. I have a little regret of mine but this shall be my lesson learnt.  Nonetheless, part of me am glad that I went for it :') I may not be a full coldplay fan before this but I'm glad they turned me into one.

Some of my favourite moments (there are so many..):

• Chris Martin bouncing to the beat like a child having so much fun (!!) it's such a joy to watch somebody enjoy music as much as they did
• Chris running across the stage and ending off with an air jump (!!!)
• When he wrote a song dedicated to us right on the spot 
• When they shed light and spread awareness of everything kind 
• When Chris Martin spoke to us for that few minutes or so. No background music, just him talking to us and telling us what his heart feels.

Everything was so well put together, from the music to the visuals to the clothing to the decorations to the confetti to the colors to the lightings to the stage. And their beautiful beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy to hear elements of nature in their songs because they do mean so much to me.

Couldn't have ended this one week break I took for myself any better other than with Coldplay <3

Couldn't have ended 2017Q1 any better, thank you so much Coldplay <3
