WE SHARE THE SAME SKYES!

weird summer for me.

after went travelling around italy (genova, pavia, milan, Lecce, and salento), I went back to the north for another festival.

my (at the end!!!) tanned skin was kinda ruined by an unprecise amount of english rain and mud.

but was worth it!

The reason I went back to England was Reading festival, southside of London.

so many different people all covered with mud, enjoying music and some sunny/rainy weather, believe me or not, there were families, also with very young kids.

I've seen women carrying trolleys into the mud, with their rock and roll sons all covered with that sticky mud, and wearing hunter boots.

oh, hunter boots, didn't know (there are no festival in Italy, u all can imagine why) but in the UK everyone's wearing them during festival, I think it's not actually for necessity (I've seen people dancing barefoot in the mud) but cause they are considere "glamorous"....(.....?!)

and I've just found out that there's a jimmy choo version too......................

CMOOOOOON????!!!!!

But my concern is music, and this is the reason why I renounced to the last days of this italian summer for some grey days in the Uk.

I bought the tickets in april and they were all gone for the weekend (was really worth to stay the all 3 days) so I chose to stay only on saturday cause THE LIBERTINES and ARCADE FIRE were playing.

The Libertines reunited for this festival after years they didn't play together. When I was 15 they were definitely my beloved band I still like them tho' but of course I feel they're music it's so typically me of that period, and even if I've seen Pete Doherty and Barat in many different gigs, I've never seen them playing as the libs....I so decided to go to see them as a gift to the 15 years old girl who was craving to see them live.

In fact that was what happened, I really felt I was that age again shouting, jumping and singing those songs.

and all those people of my age next to me during the gig, I could see them feeling the same.

It was more a feeling than a gig, they learned how to play now, they're more thecnical now and not punky anymore. There was no Doherty forgetting the words while singing or falling to the ground because of drugs, and this is quite cool actually. They're in their 30, and pretending to be a teenage band again would have been more than ridicolous.

After the libs and some other band during the day, the last one to play were the arcade fire.

This band is quite a classic for who consider himself a kind of "indie music listener" but me, personally, I was never so fixed with them even If I recognized their great unique sound.

But this gig was really a revelation! before the festival I was listening "the suburbs" (last album) and I found it so deep. The suburbs is basically a concept album about living in the city.
