30 Day Song Challenge: Day Seven - A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event



Day Seven - A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event
Two Door Cinema Club
"What You Know"

This song will forever be linked to Coachella 2011 for me. I raced over to see them after trying to catch the first half of another band, and made it just as they began. I didn't think they were that well known, but the tent was packed to overflowing. I could only get inside the tent a few feet, so I was well to the back. But the crowd, who I thought would be obnoxious, were completely into the band and no one was really being overly hipster douchey. By the end of the set, the crowd was whipped up into a near frenzy. When they began "What You Know," the singer sang the opening bars acappella then gave it over to the crowd who were singing the song much louder. It was an amazing collective moment and one of the reasons why it is a "you have to have been there" kind of experience.
