I Wanna Be Your Last First Kiss (Farewell, Anberlin!)

That is one of the lines from one of my favourite Anberlin songs ever.

Was I bummed to have missed their farewell Manila show last night?  Totally.

Is it possible to acquire PCD (Post Concert Disorder) even when you were not able to go to that particular concert? Heck yes.

To those who may not have known, Anberlin is having their final tour before the band calls it quit. A mutual decision of ending a great era of musical journey and venture into different endeavors apparently separately. I have seen them once at Bazooka Rocks 2 last year and I maybe have gotten lucky even for I was also given a chance to meet (and greet) them. Being so bad ass and hands down talented, one can only assume how intimidating it is to get to talk to them face to face but heck no, I swear they are all genuinely nice persons, giving each fan on the line a hug and heartily talking to them about their humbling stay in the country. I maybe still in denial with the fact that they may never play together again in Manila, or anywhere else for that matter. But I am so grateful to have witnessed and grown to love the music that they have shared, the talent and passion that they have offered to the world.

Long live, Anberlin! 

Thank you for the music!
