Truly Lived

Bon Iver stepped on stage. Little did he know, there was a man in the audience for whom this would be his last live concert. I don’t remember much of the genius that Bon Iver displayed that night, I was too full of emotion and realisation that Andrew and I would not do this again - this was a last. I could tell that he was so invested in every note, listening intently to the chord progressions and being present with his whole being. I could tell he also knew that this was a last and I felt sick wondering what that would be like for him.

Usually I’m not a fan of encores but this night I would have given anything for the encore not to end.
