#that is also the concert where I wailed like a banshee when they played Moon Over Goldsboro

[epersonae]

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I went to see TMG - and they still sing this song, and people sing along, and --

For a long time, this was a song (and album) that I was specifically warned against listening to. And when I watched one of the Jordan Lake sessions with Ryn, they played it, and it happened to have perfectly resonant timing with stuff I was working thru in EMDR, and I wept, and Ryn held me.

And then, by the time I saw it live, I had gone through Fresh Horrors, and No Children held for me not poison but a sort of unbridled joy of having survived that, at least, and I remember singing along with a crowded room full of people and feeling uplifted. A strange and beautiful experience.

couldn’t stop thinking about this post
