There are no words to describe my emotions when I received a reply from Matt Murphy. After one of the best nights of my life (The Wombats concert) in February, I messaged Matt Murphy via facebook, explaining how much The Wombats mean to me etc. That was the best concert I have ever been to. Christina and I made our way to the front and managed to be about a meter or two away from Murph. We both have one of his guitar picks each and we had a good grope of him when he crowd surfed. As you can see we are pretty much obsessed with him. No its more than an obsession. The next day I came to school, and when people asked me how the concert went, I immediately burst into tears. When I think about it, the emotion grows from a case nervous butterflies, to a tantrum in my head and when it gets too much for me to handle, I cry because I can't keep it in. People think I'm weird and judge me because it looks like I'm overreacting. The truth is, I don't know why their music makes me so incredibly emotional. The thing is, even though I go crazy over The Wombats, I sometimes don't understand why other people go crazy on their obsessions. I'm so hypocritical, but I think that is what a lot of people do, because we can all somewhat understand ourselves, but no matter how hard we try, its hard to fully understand other people. The lyrics of The Wombats songs are just so clever and interesting, that no matter how many times I listen to each song, I can get a completely different understanding each time. I love the way that they say simple things like "I wear a suitcase under each one of our eyes" and "consumption makes her stronger, she's the sweetest anaconda" <-- totally named my blog after that one. His voice is absolutely amazing, both live and on recordings. I swear his voice is perfection. I could literally write so much more about The Wombats and everything about them, but I have talk about the most amazing moment that happened to me on Saturday. I was at Dani's birthday afternoon tea, and I casually checked my facebook on my iphone. I RECEIVED A REPLY FROM MURPH. I cannot explain the thought processing that went though my head at that time, It was in fast motion and my brain tried to contain my excitement. Then it was all just too much. I burst into tears, and the people around me thought that someone had just died. I was uncontrollable, I couldn't breathe and I immediately called Christina, because I knew that she would understand me at that point in time. Even writing about it has made me short of breath, Im typing like crazy and I just realised that I forgot to breathe. Im just so happy that he would reply to me. He said "Hello x" Its not much, but it meant the world to me.
