And I loved you more than you'll ever know,

And part of me died when I let you go...

You were at Dylan’s show? How was it?

It was a good show - it lasted only 1h10 minutes which felt short. The venue was very nice, good sound and the lights production was really cool. The crowd was good, mostly young women but some couples and some parents (and a random middle-aged guy who came solo who was in front of me).

She was really excited to play and she has a lot of energy on stage. There's only a bassist and a drummer (and her on the guitar sometimes) - so she 's using backing tracks for some of the songs (the band doesn't do back vocals). On the first song it felt like the backing track was over taking her mic and I was like are you kidding? can she not sing?! but it was adjusted later (and maybe she was a bit more stressed on the first song).

She did a brand new song, and like her latest single (The Alibi) it's way more pop. Not guitar-driven at all. It was... different. So it's interesting to see if she's going the pop route (pulling a Harry as I called it!). The Alibi live was really good tho, it's catchy. The rest was pretty rock and banging.

She did a cover of Out of the Woods by TS with just her on the guitar and imo it was awful. Like I think people enjoyed it since they like to OG version but it was just... missing something? Also to me it's really weird to be covering TS when she's touring herself at the moment. The other cover was Unholy - but rock - and at the beginning I was very sceptical but it ended up being really good.

She was quite chatty but sometimes I didn't get what she was saying. In terms of stage presence, she's really good because you couldn't tell she was nervous (I think it was her biggest venue ever). It did feel a bit like a performance at times - and reminded me of Harry's first tour (and the drapping in pride flag + her HS song added to that). But then I'm thinking - it is a performance so maybe I should give her some slack (it's just the whole rock aesthetics/ persona from her IG is annoying me so much).

All in all, very happy I went to see her (even if it took me 90 minutes to go back home cuz apparently I can't take the bus in London lol). I would see her again when she has new material and/or in a bigger venue. This morning I had a song stuck in my head so I listened to her live album again. But in the future I wonder if in the middle of the day I'll be like hey I feel like listening to Dylan? Her songs are quite catchy from the melody but I find the lyrics a bit simple/ not memorable (or too easy).

I went to discover her live and have a good time and I did get that. I also was a bit 'analytical' with the show - and I find myself doing that most of the time now that I know more about touring.

As I posted, it also makes me miss Louis and AM gigs because I realize they are truly one of a kind. Louies are SO loud we never realize when we're at the show, but yeah you don't get that level of screams at other shows.

So if you have the chance to see her in the future, def do it's the tickets are affordable and you wanna have a good rock night out!

I'll be watching her career development!

Aesthetic: I love dressing up in different styles and aesthetics tbh and I would say I dress how I feel. I dress up more when I'm happier and have a lot of statement pieces, more casual when I'm feeling lazy or depressed. But with the statement pieces, I'd say I'm giving theatre kid and I like to dress up like a Hollywood starlet sometimes lmao.

Favorite Author: I have no idea tbh. There's not one single author I've read all their books and liked. Hmm maybe Lemony Snicket but I haven't read Asking All The Right Questions yet. But all the books and authors listed above are a good range.

Ohmygod Cecelia Ahern - I've read and loved all her books!! Shoutout to my mom for getting me into her books during my teen years

Favorite Animal Noise: Rattlesnakes, Elephant’s Trumpet with the whole show of their trunks, Seal clapping and Hyena giggles

Random: So this section is the reason I didn't finish this post when Caro tagged me in it months ago lmao sorry C but now I have a fun random fact to share!

I'm currently on vacation in a tropical country rn and the villa I'm staying in feels so much like Donna's Villa in Mamma Mia - I love it so much! (I might reblog and share pictures of this place in the future but rn I'd like not to doxx myself lol) It's hella homey and I LOVE all the animals here; they have 4 dogs and 2 cats who are all my besties now. (I've never been a big pet person and now I want one)
