so.

i saw sondre lerche in concert last friday.

omg you guys.

i. i can't even.



He was absolutely bloody fucking amazing, okay? I. He. Oh man.

Okay, before I go into complete spaz mode over his set, I should mention his opening act, JBM, who is phenomenal. Heartfelt singing and songwriting, lush melodies. :swoon: His set actually brought me to tears at one point.

Go check him out -- he really is wonderful.

:breathes:

Okay.

Sondre.

I didn't think I could love his tiny little Norwegian self anymore, but I was wrong. He did a one-man set, with the help of some sort of background sound machine (I couldn't see it from where I was, but I could hear it), and he was so engaging that I'm not sure if I even blinked. He did most of the songs from "Heartbeat Radio" including "If Only," which is my personal favorite (why did I nearly die when he said 'hip hop?' IDK.) He was funny and quirky and telling stories throughout the whole set. It was just a joy to watch him up there.

The best part was undoubtedly the encore where he played "Modern Nature" and had us all singing the Lillian Samdal part with him...we were a pretty good sounding group, actually. I think he should come back to Cleveland and scoop us all up to go on tour with him. :)

It was a great night, and I'm thrilled that I got to go.

And now, pictures!

















And oh yes.



Did I mention that I got to meet him?

OMFGASDFJKL; I GOT TO MEET SONDRE LERCHE. He's as adorable in person as I thought he would be. Really.

(Plz to be ignoring how ridiculous I look.)



He signed my copy of "Heartbeat Radio."

And then I left the club and promptly squeed until my fangirly heart popped out of my chest. ♥

It was a great time.

...your squee is resonating through time and space; I can feel it from here.

Glad you had a good time!

I'm still squeeing on the inside. :D

We had a really awesome time; I kind of want to rewind the day and do it again. :swoony sigh:

Oh wow! How cool that must have been to meet him!

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

It was! He's very affable and sweet and really appreciative of his fans, so it was a real treat to get to talk to him for a minute. ♥

Yay! I'm so glad you had a fun time...even better that you got to meet him. That's awesome.

You MET him?! Awesome! He seems so cute!

I need to go to more concerts. Man.

[sexyscholar.livejournal.com]

INORITE? I did my very best not to just die inside. :p

He's very cute. Admittedly, one of the *initial* reasons that I decided to check out his latest album was because I thought he was so effin' adorable. But then I heard his music and I just fell in love.

He's very sweet and down-to-earth and affable and quirky and...and... :hands!:

Seriously though, he always seems geniunely happy to be able to do what he loves to do and that other people enjoy hearing it. It was a pleasure to talk to him for a minute. :) I am *still* over the moon about the whole thing.

I need to go to more concerts.

Me too! This was my first. It's such a rush!
