\u00c1rst\u00ed\u00f0ir – E-Werk, Erlangen; September 23rd, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Halfway through a week of touring with \u00c1rst\u00ed\u00f0ir severe tiredness has set in, but everything else is just as amazing as on day one (if not more so), the goofy smile won\u2019t leave my face and adrenaline keeps me going. Their concert in Erlangen was overall lighter and less somber than the previous one with a lot more banter going on between the guys. It did not cut me as deeply as the one in Dresden, but considering it meant my sadness had lessened, I believe this is a good thing. Of course it was lovely and my night was made just watching A. and K. enjoying it.<\/p>\n

After I didn\u2019t go to bed until 3 am, I woke up much too early and felt surprisingly fit for a long time. All was well on the train ride to Erlangen until about 1 pm, when I got really tired and had trouble keeping awake. Once I arrived, I went for a nap and felt considerably better after. Catching up on mails and having some food kept me from sightseeing (in fact, I have not done any of that this tour), but all was well and upon arrival at the venue I met K. and A. \ud83d\ude42 We took a walk, chatting about touring until it was time for the doors to open. Once inside, we continued our chats. Silly fan sentence of the day: \u201cI asked if you were OK, I didn\u2019t asked if you were sane.\u201d \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

The setlist was essentially the same as in Dresden, but they had shaken up the order of songs yet again. Didn\u2019t really feel like taking pictures, but still made use of the fact there was a gallery to take pictures from. They had dramatic lighting too, but overall it was a bit dark and difficult. Thus, I spent quite a lot of time in my seat enjoying the music. More often than not I found myself, \u201cplaying along\u201d to the music, especially to the piano parts \u2013 who said there was only air guitar? \ud83d\ude09 Sometimes I hear the melodies as a whole, with all the parts coming together and making it something bigger. At other times I listen to all the instruments individually, following the piano intros, the cello and violin solo or the guitar strumming. I did that a lot this night and treasured every little piece of it.<\/p>\n

We learned a few things about the songs too, heard that \u2018Silfurskin\u2019 was finished in Czech Republic at four in the morning \u201cwithout any alcohol involved ;)\u201d and that \u2018You again\u2019 is the one where they are working with Kitty Van-Sometime. Daniel told us how they filmed the video on a glacier and he forgot sunblock so he came home \u201clooking like an apple\u201d. \ud83d\ude00 They guys were generally quite talkative that night, Karl even making introductions of everyone by the end of the show which was quite nice.<\/p>\n

For \u2018R\u00f3\u2019 they tried the four-handed version again with Karl sitting next to Ragnar at the piano. It was lovely watching them sitting there together. \ud83d\ude42 They also treated us to three a cappella pieced once again. The newly added \u2018Because\u2019 being the final encore. In-between there were many beautiful, funny, adorable moments making me smile. The old, familiar songs make the cornerstones of the show for me, guiding me through, giving me a chance to sing along. Yet the newer ones are the spice in the mix, keeping it all fresh and interesting. I just love hearing how they evolve, layer after layer and become more beautiful every time. Even in some of the changes and additions seem strange at first, I usually come to terms with them after a while and I love the band for trying out new ideas.<\/p>\n

My memories of the night are a bit hazy and random, but two things I recall that made me laugh were Gunnar describing \u2018Lost in you \u2019 as \u201ca song off our first album\u201d and I automatically said \u201csecond\u201d. He heard me and joked about being corrected by the audience. \ud83d\ude42 Later, before \u2018Shades\u2019 Ragnar realized that the word reminded him of the German \u201cSchade\u201d (pity). Not really the connection I would make, but phonetically it makes sense. \ud83d\ude09 It was a fun night overall, I loved being there and just enjoyed the lightness of the mood.<\/p>\n

Afterwards A., K., and I had a nice long chat with the guys and hung out until they had to pack up and leave. Since we did not want the night to end just yet, we went out for a drink having amazing conversations about touring, music, and other fan loves. This night was definitely a highlight and I sure hope we\u2019ll have many more of those. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
