The thrill of a live concert

I had been waiting almost the whole year for this event and it finally happened. Much better and cheaper then I had expected. I am talking about BestFest, the festival which brings together every year some of the musicians that I like most. Two years ago I was there for Hooverphonic, last year I was longing for Kaiser Chiefs, but couldn't attend the concert, as I was learning for my college entrance exam. Fortunately, this year I had my revenge: I volunteered for BestFest and I enjoyed two memorable days of concerts for free.
The two concerts that I really wanted to see were the ones of Patrice and Franz Ferdinand, and my wish did come true. Patrice was on the first day of the festival and I had a reward ticket for it. I loved the performance, which was enhanced by the solidarity between music and nature :)), as it started pouring right during the song called Soulstorm. Of course I got dripping wet, but this was even more fun.
The other concert that I would like to talk more about is Franz Ferdinand. I was a volunteer that day and because I worked at ticketing I was very busy. However, I did get a permission and found someone to replace me during the concert. The performance managed to rise above all my expectations. I wasn't a true FF fan, but now I am. The beautiful songs, the lyrics, the energetic crowd and the passion you could see on their faces while performing were all the ingredients of an outsanding and unforgettable concert. Not to mention that they are all true showmen- they have danced and jumped all over the stage, not forgetting even for a second to communicate with the public. I think FF is the best concert I have ever attended, I had more fun than at a System of a Down concert, which used to be my favourite.
Today's song is a live capture from the FF concert, and it's my favourite FF song. It's about a break-up and I will post the lyrics, as they are filled with meanings and emotions. Please enjoy this glimpse of one memorable concert.

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away (live at BestFest)

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey hey

Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Won't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

Don't you walk away
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I'm not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are

I hear the sound of you walking away,you walking away
I hear the sound of you walking away, walking away hey hey
And as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away

And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood winds will howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Zedong on the back
