The xx - Live in Manila 2013

another awesome concert!

up dharma down opened the show - i am such a fan!

concert started late though. very late. oh well!

i absolutely liked the lighting of the entire show! it was amazingggggg. i was mesmerized by the lights!

check out two videos (crystalised and intro - my fave!) that i took with my digi cam. video quality isn't good though but the sound is decent. :-)

i really admire bands who sound the same live and on recordings.

So Here We Are - Bloc Party

Title: So Here We Are

Artist: Bloc Party

Album: Silent Alarm (2005)

Let's go back to 2005, when this UK band's single was released! It's a very light song with soft vocals. 

The lyrics are short compared to their other songs (but I like the message it's trying to convey) :)

I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home... home

I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again

I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out

I figured it out, I can see again

I must say Florence Welch's vocal quality is great! Her voice is hmm how do i describe it... big and solid, if you get what I mean?

Check out their previous songs such as Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up) and You've Got The Love as well :)
