60 feels I felt seeing Chvrches live

All the feels.

1. I love the Forum
2. A venue with levels is so handy for a short gal like me
3. Bit of Michael Jackson on a Tuesday night never hurt anyone
4. “There’s nothing more intimate than standing under a naked statue illuminated in blue light” – my boyfriend
5. Wind chimes, flashing lights, this is it! 
6. Vantage point is good
7. Here they come
8. Lauren has her arm up, you can only see her silhouette 
9. Backdrop is way cool
10. ‘Hide and Seek’ starts and it’s sooo good 
11. Lauren’s punching the air with all her might – you go girl
12. The crowd digs it, though you can tell it’s a Tuesday night because they’re a little quiet
13. Their harmonies are beautiful
14. Two songs in and I can’t stop shaking it 
15. Major head banging is now taking place. By Lauren, not me.
16. I wonder if she is dizzy?
17. Banter time. Oh my gosh her Scottish accent. So cute
18. ‘Lies’ starts and the guy next to me loves it
19. He is the only one clapping along
20. I’m with him, we should all be clapping
21. Lauren is standing on the speaker, side profile, arm in the air
22. She looks v powerful
23. The best thing about Chvrches is every song is a banger, cue ‘Make Them Gold’
24. Finally a synchronised clap by the audience
25. I’m a sucker for a good synchronised clap
26. The backdrop looks like sparklers 
27. Lauren just displayed a new dance move, she’s twirling ’round and ‘round
28. It’s Iain’s (the bass player) time to shine, he’s giving a funky solo
29. Now there’s a bit of banter between Lauren and the guys
30. Just so you know, Lauren is sweaty
31. She is rethinking the fringe
32. They’re joking around like regular chums 
33. ‘Empty Threat’ starts and everyone cheers
34. First time I’ve heard the crowd singing so far
35. Maybe that’s because the music is actually very loud
36. Oh my gosh where did that drum kit Lauren is playing come from?! 
37. Wish the guy in front would stop filming, enjoy the show mate
38. Am I being a hypocrite, typing on my phone? 
39. Audience participation was defs lacking until now
40. ‘Tether’ comes on. It’s a bit of a slow burner 
41. That doesn’t mean it’s any less good
42. Actually very impressed with the live show
43. Was a bit worried that the show would be a bit like a dj set but it’s actually so decent 
44. Iain is moving between bass and four keyboards? Impressive
45. Ahh yes ‘Gun’ is the best 
46. Line up change, Lauren and Martin have swapped places for ‘Under The Tide’
47. Martin is now dancing while Lauren plays synth
48. Is he shuffling? 
49. I haven’t seen moves like these since 2007
50. Everyone is clapping and jumping 
51. Song after song is just awesome
52. ‘Clearest Blue’ has been announced as the last song
53. The build up is epic
54. Everyone is screaming the lyrics. It’s a party up in here
55. No surprise it isn’t actually their final song
56. ‘After Glow’ is a bit of a slow one for the encore…
57. Lauren announces that ‘The Mother we Share’ will be the “actual last song”
58. The build up isn’t as big as ‘Clearest Blue’, it’s still damn catchy
59. And that’s it
60. And that was pretty damn good.
