freshw0ntdefine: Counterparts @ Today’s Mixtape Fest Day 3 - 89 North, Long Island NY 4/7/13 Credit: freshw0ntdefine.tumblr.com flickr.com/photos/vbrosephson facebook.com/vbrosephsonphotography This is the first photo that I am going to post from Today’s Mixtape Festival. This is my favorite photo from the whole entire weekend. It’s raw, unedited, and there’s a story behind this one shot, one that I will never forget. I couldn’t believe I was finally seeing Hundredth and Counterparts, but I was not prepared. Completely caught off guard by how incredible their sets were, I couldn’t help but to let everything that I was keeping inside of me, these past couple of months, out. I completely let go. With the trembling of my hand and the unstoppable tears flowing down my face on stage, I was able to capture the most beautiful moment ever. I don’t think I have ever presented myself with such vulnerability in front of a crowd. I don’t even think a lot of people noticed as I hid behind my hat but I just felt like I was understood, free, just by a band and our ability to share the same hurt. I have consistent trouble with expressing myself and these two bands create music that speaks for me, to make me feel so sure of myself, and not alone. These two bands completely changed me as a human being and was the highlight of my weekend. Thank you, COUNTERPARTS, thank you HUNDREDTH.
