\u201cI am alone now, I am beyond recriminations,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall Break was a wonderful staycation spent with friends as well as with my brother, who is now a freshman at the University of Michigan. Most notably, I went with my brother to see Nick Cave in concert at the Masonic Temple Theater in Detroit. In summer 2020, which I spent at home due to the pandemic, my love for Nick Cave\u2019s music and friendship with other fans was a very bright spot in otherwise dark times. I became a superfan, and my family was dragged along for the ride by virtue of proximity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurtains are shut, the furniture is gone.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing Nick Cave perform (and perform many of my favorite songs) live seemed like a full-circle moment for me. \u201cJubilee Street\u201d is one of my favorite songs of all time (I encourage any music-lover to check out the \u201cLive in Copenhagen\u201d version of the song) and hearing it being performed live in front of me as I watched Nick Cave play the piano was surreal. There he was, the artist who creatively inspired me during some of the most hopeless days I can remember, right in front of me, this time under completely different circumstances. He was not wearing a mask; neither was I. I became a fan of his in high school and now I am in my senior year of college, living away from home yet still fortunate enough to enjoy the show alongside my brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m transforming, I’m vibrating, I’m glowing,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is fascinating how times change. Scary, yes, and stressful, but reflecting on where I was when I first began listening to Nick Cave and comparing it to where I am now, I am so incredibly impressed by and grateful for how far I\u2019ve come. While I may constantly be hoping for more from my life, I realize that I have plenty of time, and my evolution up until this point is something worth celebrating. After the concert, I had the privilege of meeting Nick Cave himself, and he gave me a hug. I think that healed a piece of me that has been waiting for that moment since 2020. I realized once again how his music makes me feel like everything is going to be alright, as I know it will be. I think I may need to incorporate more Nick Cave into my life again, and I will start with this quote from one of my favorite books \u2013 his very own \u201cThe Sick Bag Song:\u201d \u201cStop now! Let it go! You are completely enough!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m flying, look at me now!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
