Hello out there! I know I've been posting alot of band shots and if you really don't care for it...sorry! Here's a new idea I have. While out with my friends Nick and Erin today, I realized that I had yet to explore the vast loneliness that accompanies the hordes of people and traffic in the city that is both teaming with new ideas and people and at the same time (as Robert Smith might say) everything's coming to a grinding halt!
I think there's an element of solitude within the masses and I think it's the same scream that echoes back at you in the middle of the night. It's the feeling of claustrophobia at the same time that you just want to be touched. It's the feeling of being anonymous and at the same time always recognized.
How much more can I say about this? I feel the larger of a city you live in, the more difficult it is to connect with others. At the same time, the vastness of the people brings diversity and therefore opportunity that you'll meet someone you really love.
I live in Chicago and I am part of the Lonesome Crowded West.
