Glasto Tracks V



Apparently (according to my brother, who I'm guessing heard it from his friends), the crowd at Bastille was rubbish. I was right in there though, and I didn't notice it, so maybe his friends were among those left outside the John Peel Stage due to Bastille's popularity. Who knows, I thought it was a pretty good set to be at. I was tempted to find videos of the covers they did, of 'What would you do?' and 'Rhythm is a dancer' (or whatever those songs are called), but I think they were more icing on the cake than the best bits about the set. Back to the vein of my ramblings about 'regular' summer tracks, the lyrics to the chorus of this sum up my summers back at home from uni - "And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you've been here before. How am I gonna be an optimist about this?" - full of awkwardness and reminders of the distance that's developed between my old friends and I. But, y'know, way more upbeat and better written than my usual "oh no, another summer sat at home with no one to hang out with". And Glasto was a million miles from that feeling, so yay!
