You don’t hear chaos in your head at 120 decibels
Beats on, thought carousel. As you read these lines, I recover from my second festival this season. Hopefully I was less drenched and returned with a mud, when I suspect when I write.
But even if I finally bathed in the mud for five days and will spend my last day off to cope with a Wäscheberg, I know: I don’t want to do without a second of these days. Nowhere can I switch off better than at concerts.
I am one of the people who are convinced: You don’t hear music, you feel it. It is precisely at these moments that I manage to hide the confusion in my head and enjoy the moment to the fullest. Perhaps it is also due to the volume that drowns out the thoughts and prevents me from losing myself in the past or future.
If I play my favorite songs and turn up the volume, the chaos in my head falls silent.
Funnily enough, I usually don’t succeed in the overwhelming nervous system with actually calming activities such as reading, in the spa or at the film evening on the sofa. Again and again I catch how I drift and flood over the to-do list.
Why I have a iron impression on my leg
However, if I play my favorite songs and turn up the volume, the chaos in my head falls silent. If I then watch the artists live on how they have the time of their lives on stage, my heart opens. I concentrate on the music, feel the bass, let the light show work on me, and enjoy the radiant faces around me who enjoy the moment as much as I do – and know again: It is precisely these moments that are worthwhile to let the less beautiful moments endure.
From the life of the LW journalists
The “gazettchen” is an informal column in which the authors legally tell about their everyday experiences or even give an insight into their thoughts. This has a long tradition: On December 3, 1946, an opinion with the title « Today » appears for the first time at the top of the side left on the first local side in the « Luxemburger Word ». On January 13, 1971, the « Gazettchen », which has been extremely popular with readers, then became the « gazette », which has kept its Premium-Platz in Luxembourg’s top-class daily newspaper to this day and across all layout.
