I Say It's Love

Tonight Iain and I are seeing Sugarland in concert.

SUGARLAND.

Iain and I don't really have a song - we have albums. Three to be exact, and they're all Sugarland. We even had a Sugarland song in our wedding ceremony.

Sugarland's three albums have been the soundtrack of my life for the past three years. Their songs have been with me from car rides to and from the Starbucks I used to work at, to packing my bags for my move to England, to lazy Spring nights spent in my parents back yard when ever we go home to visit.

They're the soundtrack to those bright, English summer days when Iain and I put the top down and drive through the country side, smirking at the fact that no one for 100 miles knows the songs we're blasting.

Basically - I'm afraid I'm going to cry throughout the entire concert. Their songs are packed with so many emotions and memories for me that I'm afraid that seeing them live, played in front of me is going to send me into some euphoric, emotional coma and I'm going to embarass myself by sobbing like an idiot for their entire set list.

Is that normal? Do you cry at concerts?

I cry at concerts, often. Music is the foundation of memory and emotion for me too, and when I see / hear the music that unlocks great joy and great sadness in me in equal measure performed live I do cry. I say go with it, no one will be watching, and I'm willing to bet Iain will understand :-)

I sobbed like a baby at Sigur Ros. One of the best nights of my life, hands down.

i got major goosebumps and tears in my eyes when ryan adams sang his rendition of "wonderwall" at the show i went to last week.

I cry when songs come on the radio. Of course, I'm a mental mess, but still... LOL

Sugarland woo hoo hope you guys had a blast ! best wishes ~ w

I don't know their music but they sound great. Hope you had fun, despite the tears! I cried at a Josh Ritter concert I went to last year. Just such a highly charged atmosphere. Pretended I had something in my eye.

I like people, who don´t hide their emotions and who are able to be touched by music or literature. You should rather be proud of your sensitivity and not feel ashamed! I have never cried at a concert, but I have cried while listening to classical music at home, and I confess: I have also cried (silently) while reading a very sad book.

Hope the show was everything you expected.

I only recently gave Sugarland a serious listen when I saw them perform at the Grammys. They're lovely.
