Royal Wood show

[elizalavelle]

As I posted earlier today my brother took me to the Royal Wood concert tonight. *sigh* that man (Royal) is amazing. I don't think I've met a single person who does not find him handsome, even my straight male friends had to agree on that one. So already it was going to be a great night. Then I'm chatting away with my brother and randomly see Kevin Fox walk by (not so randomly actually as he played in the show... and as he's generally at at least half of the shows I go to in TO lol) but I made a note of it because both Kat and Andrea would be amused to know it :)

Then I was back to chatting away and I hear a familiar voice, turn around and it's Sarah Slean :) This is extra odd because I was having a dream last night just before I woke up that I was at a concert of hers and was chatting with her about something. So *yay* surprise Sarah :) I said a quick hello and introduced my brother and apparently we look alike.. I still don't see it lol.

The concert itself was fabulous. I really must buy his albums. Not only was it just fabulous in general but I had a special highlight. Royal Wood had the audience harmonize to one of his songs... I'm not sure what it's called.... "there's no place like home" (does anyone see where this is going?) So we're harmonizing away and he sung a verse from Somewhere Over the Rainbow! So for me, who requests Sarah sing that song ALL OF THE TIME, I got about as close to that request as I think I ever will, and way closer than I ever expected to get since I was sitting about a row over form her singing along to the song. It was a happy fangirl moment :)

Anyways now I'm high on music. Royal Wood put on a show you could just soar to, fantastic! And I have to manage to get some decent amount of sleep today so I can survive work tomorrow. Goodnight all!

***ETA*** I found the song that Somewhere Over The Rainbow was worked into.

Step Back

The tiniest of things seem to set me off
A hornet nest of things I think all may be lost

Step back It's time to take the garbage out
Step back A day to take stock
Step back Wind all of my watches up
Step back

I'm suffocating the air's to thin to talk
I'm separating the halves are gonna fall

If I don't step back
An exit signs approaching
Step back Gonna have to now decide
Step back Was there an error in my judgment
Step back

I wanna go home, before I burst in flames
But if I go home, will everything stay the same
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no, no place like home

Step back It's time to take the dishes out
Step back And raise the tickets prices high
Step back Make the work shop into play pens
And get my fingers in the pie
Step back Nine pound and six pence
Step back Arouse suspicion where I can
Step back For all this cleaning of house,
I think I am a better man
Step back It's time to take the garbage out
Step back Another day to take stock
Step back And wind all of my watches up
Step back La da…

yayy Kevin Fox! :) ... and yayy Sarah! How exciting and random! Too bad it wasn't her up on stage singing Over the Rainbow. ;)

Where was the show?

I want to say it was at the Music Gallery... not sure what it was called though. It was at the church that's right beside Grange park downtown. I never knew it was there because I generally avoid the Grange since it's a little sketchy. But it was a really nice little venue, great acoustics :)

I'm happy for you! Most people don't get those kind of moments.
