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 one particular song came on that really made me want to get up and dance, so I did. Only for a moment though, as I almost immediately began to long for the now seemingly foreign thrill of being immersed in a general admission audience at a concert. A crowd of 400 people standing, unmasked, packed together like sardines, beads of sweat bouncing from one person to the next, it seems unimaginable given the times we are now living in. 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 the indescribable bliss I’ve felt at past shows, and hope I can experience this feeling again sometime soon.
