It was on the list because I love live music. Its quite a big part of my life, and I usually have a gig lined up to go to, sometimes months away, but I like to know I have something to look forward to. Theres something about hearing the crashing guitars, and thumping bass right in front of you that is so energising... and I needed to know Dan gets this. Mostly because I'm hoping he wont think its a waste of money, I need these gigs in my life!
So we headed up to Shepherds Bush for Ash. We went to dinner first at a fab Thai restaurant and ate a really spicy curry, hence the need for the gigantic ice cream Dan is holding above! Stupidly we got one each and I wasn't able to finish mine, which is totally unheard of! I really like ice cream! But I was mindful I was about to go and jump and up and down for an hour or two!
Ash were excellent. I've seen them several times before, and they have always been great. They played a mix of the A-Z songs and old favourites. The crowd went mental for "Kung-Fu" I zoned out to my own little world for "Girl From Mars" but actually the best song was "Arcadia" which they opened with.
Apart from both feeling like we had eaten too much ice cream, it was the best night, I was so so happy and didn't want to end, and I think that answers my question about whether or not Dan gets it :)
Arcadia
Light up, spark the detonator
Now I'm homeward bound, way to see you later
If you make that step you're the instigator
Got my mind made up, I'll be your navigator
If you want me to travel over moonlit miles
For a precious smile
Following my lonely heart
Call on me, take me...
Far over the seas
I return in my dreams
Sailing home under the stars
To be safe in your arms
Ever near, travel through time
Ever close in my mind
Say you will truly be mine
Say you'll always be mine
We are a winning combination
We're two stars aligned in a constellation
When I get too low you're my inspiration
Never let me down, you're a revelation
One that comes along once in a lifetime
Oh I realise
You give me love free and wild
Oh my child, lead me...
Far over the seas
I return in my dreams
Sailing home under the stars
To be safe in your arms
Ever near, travel through time
Ever close in my mind
Say you will truly be mine
Say you'll always be mine
Our empire stretches from the deserts
To the ice fields
Love and courage can take us anywhere
We dare to go
Far over the seas
I return in my dreams
Sailing home under the stars
To be safe in your arms
Ever near, travel through time
Ever close in my mind
Say you will truly be mine
Say you'll always be mine
