Glass Animals Rocked Terminal 5 for Two Sold Out Nights

I first heard Glass Animals in December of 2014. My friend put the music video for "Gooey" on while a group of us were hanging out at her place, and I instantly fell in love.


Since then, I have seen Glass Animals at The Box, Central Park Summerstage, Terminal 5, and Bonnaroo. Each time has been an utterly fantastic live show, with varying degrees of show production catered to the venue. So when they announced a tour in support of their latest album How To Be A Human Being, I jumped and immediately bought a two-day pass to their engagements at Terminal 5.

The first show was on Wednesday, September 28th. I got to the venue around 8pm, and thankfully so because magically everyone who had an e-ticket could not access their e-ticket anymore through the Ticketmaster app .There was a massive line to the box office for ticket reprints that was snaking around the front of the venue. But even that couldn't kill the vibe.

Glass Animals is the only band I've seen at Terminal 5 who decorates the entrance hallway to set the mood for the night. Fake plants, fog, deep pink lights, and small televisions with psychedelic visuals lined the walkway to the main area, which was bursting with the filled-to-capacity crowd.

They opened their set with the high energy "Life Itself" immediately followed by "Youth - the standout single from their new record. The energy in the air was electrifying, and it didn't fade once through the set.

The band members are so endearing on stage - they look as though they are genuinely having the most fun, and you can't help but smile from watching them. Not to mention, they sound incredible. Frontman Dave Bayley's vocal delivery is impeccable, and his dance moves are quite infectious. They closed the night out with "Pork Soda", my favorite from the new release. It was a perfect show experience.

The second night featured a nearly identical set list, and just as much stamina and delivery from the band. As an attendee, there was a different vibe in the crowd, with many more pushy people who kept spilling beer on me and digging their elbows in to my back, which took a lot away from the fantastic performance on stage. It's remarkable how a crowd can truly make or break an event.

But the bottom line is - Glass Animals are outstanding performers who bring their recorded songs to life with such ease and agility, that you must put them at the top of your to-see list.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
