This was a belated wedding anniversary gift to each other. I admit, this was probably more for me than the hubby… I mean, I ♥ Maroon5. Like since the beginning.
The production was done incredibly well. Kudos to Kelly Clarkson’s crew, Maroon5’s team and Honda Civic Tour. And, I can’t complain about ringing ears and the super late night when there was non-stop music from KC and Maroon5. Made me feel like I was in college again (never went to concerts when I was in high school).
But, lack of sleep is going to make for a lllllong day. Time to hit up the green tea.
(A little backwards today – Day 17: Sing. Sing a song… make it simple to last your whole life long! How did that feel?)
I’m so excited to see Maroon 5 this week. So. Excited. Missed them in October, so I made sure I bought tickets early when I found out they were making another stop here. My kids are looking forward to it, too – so much so that we’re jamming along to the albums and practicing on Band Hero.
So, yes, my husband and I are taking them to the concert. It’ll be fine, it’s outdoors… the weather is supposed to be fantastic. I’m just a little worried that they’ll be too tired and miss the songs they want to hear, or the little guy will miss seeing Adam Levine in person. You can’t imagine how angry Ollie gets. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed.
I used to think I created best under pressure. It’s just that I finish projects under pressure, self-inflicted or not. Creating for me isn’t when emotions are high; inspiration seems pretty random for me. Whatever I’m feeling, when I create, I’m transported, distracted for a little while. I empty my head, and fill my heart. Does that make sense? Then I finish, and voila! – I return to my routine.
So I offer my Maroon 5 inspired art. Music moves me… what better way to get in a creative mood than to immerse myself in their albums? Try it sometime. Listen to your favorite artists and create. Maybe you already do.
Can you guess which songs inspired which pieces? (Click on the thumbnails to zoom.)
