How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

I remember one moment during this week< where I was sat alone in my room listening to music, and<strong> one particular song came on that really made me want to get up and dance, so I did</strong>. Only for a moment though, as<strong> I almost immediately began to long for the now seemingly foreign thrill of being immersed in a general admission audience at a concert.</strong> A crowd of<strong> 400 people standing, unmasked, packed together like sardines, beads of sweat bouncing from one person to the next</strong>, it seems <strong> unimaginable given the times we are now living in.</strong> I had tickets to 4 shows over the past spring/summer, all of which were cancelled because of the pandemic, and it really crushes me that I had to miss out on these experiences. Now, pretty much anytime I’m listening to music, I reminisce about<strong> the indescribable bliss I’ve felt at past shows</strong>, and<strong> hope I can experience this feeling again sometime soon.</strong>
