Jónsi

The words to describe the performance we saw recently have escaped me -- hmm, or rather, I cannot find the words to do justice to what I experienced, so I urge you to visit this website and view these comments about Jonsi's performance at the Paramount Theatre. I have never felt such an emotional connection to music as I did on this evening. At the end of the set as I stood catching my breath, I watched in awe as the crowd collectively gathered their composure before filing out of the theater, and I wondered if everyone else felt as glad as I did to share this sensation with others. To know that yes, this really happened and no, I am not the only person to have this raw, happy, heart-wrenching feeling inside of me and all the while realizing that the concert had ended and it was time to leave. To me, it felt as if some life-changing, catastrophic event had occurred. But in a good way. 
Well, like I said, the deserved words escape me. 
Here are some clips from jonsi.com that describes the performance. I'm sure they will not do the live performance justice, so GO DO!
