My First Fusion,a feelgood story
Verfasst: Do 5. Jul 2018, 21:59
Hi everybody, i've had my first Fusion and like to share my experience with you!
I'm a 33 year old musician but not a big festival-goer, had only been to Dour twice. Didn't completely liked those two experiences with too many people trying to selfdestruct with drugs, not a pretty sight at all. My German girlfriend (I'm dutch) convinced me to go with her to Fusion so here i went!
Four days later i came back exhausted but feeling liberated. I was amazed that despite the size of it all how friendly the atmosphere was. People apologized at 4:00 in the night when they accidentaly bumped into me! Which, ofcourse should be normal, but often is not at parties!
Some more things i loved: the diversity in music and stages, from bombastic techno to far more intimate bands. There seemed to be so much for so many. The last night (saturday for me) i left my two friends to venture alone a bit, drifting from stage to stage, discovering the maniacal sounds of Crystal Distortion (THAT SHIT WAS FRANTIC) and happily shaking some muscles loose i didn't even knew i had before.
Then I jumped into a completely different vibe in Salon de Baile, ending on a bridge overlooking the Karla Kutter stage where a TRULY BEAUTIFUL song was played, with a woman singing "I don't want to leave.....", which exactly was how I felt, not wanting to leave this place, and this world for that matter. I then started to thank my loved ones and all these beautiful people for existing and cried uncontrollably for a minute. (anybody knows the song I talked about? it was played around 3:30 saturdaynight)
So, if you at that time saw a guy by his lonesome looking incredibly sad and happy at once, that was me! Well, hope you liked this feelgood story. Peace out!
