as you breathe out i breathe in

this evening, i attended a matt nathanson concert with a few of my girlfriends and some wonderful new faces (which is awesome because i am always very excited to get to know new people).  first of all, i have been a fan of matt nathanson for awhile.  secondly, i am a huge singer/songwriter junkie, especially when it comes to live shows.  matt surpassed my expectations tonight.  although his set was short (only about ten songs), it totally moved me.  it was raw, unedited talent at it's finest.  just him, his guitar, and some mean vocal chords.  the highlight of his set, for me, was "falling apart", which is one of his slower pieces.  i was totally mesmerized as he effortlessly vomited up auditory art.  i was afraid to move my little peepers because i would miss a moment.  as an artist, i understand what it's like to expose your soul like that...to have such passion move through you, your whole body responds.  i have to admit, i teared up a couple times, because some of his lyrics really reflected some things going on in my life personally.  but overall, it was an amazing night.  i wouldn't have changed anything.
