| Dismantle me down. Wow, i can't believe it's over now, my head still spins to the rhythm of Anberlin's music while dancing to Relient K's poppy preppy beats. Standing there being soaked by the music and the sweat of the bodies of other [seemingly] eminent fans, it's like food to my soul: no....more than that, it's like I'm in another world. A world in which essays and grades and life and love don't exist, just me and the music. just me and the band. just me and ....maybe just me. At first i was really self-concious; all the poppy and emo kids surrounding us (/wrists), but once the music roared and the lights were off, i knew it didnt matter, because there they were : the band: the lyrics: the music and there was me.
I still can't believe Anberlin played all of my favorite songs save Cadance; I swear I was dreaming. I fell in love. Anberlin. Opening with A Whisper & A Clamour, then playing Hello Alone (Hello! Hello!!) and skipping to their old CD of Never Take Friendship Personal (I love all their CDS!), they played everything! And my heart melted when they strummed to The Unwinding Cable Car (Emanuel's heart must have skipped a beat). And did I mentioned they played Dismantle.Repair? No...how could I not? I wasn't actually that impressed with Mae especially since they didn't play the songs that I really love from them, even though the mosh pit was semi fun.Haha, I mean how fun could it be with little MS and HSers. emo kids! Haha, I guess i'm emo too. And Relient K...even though I wasn't that familiar with their music, its kind of funny that they played all the songs I knew! "And I lost my phone to the lake beneath the batman ride" And they played Faking my own suicide that was really funny ^^.
I held on tight to the words that made my heart skip a beat, it wasn't real, it wasn't fake, it was just there. And for those few hours, I felt something I haven't felt for a really long time: satisfied. I felt like i could be wrapped up in the music and cradled to sleep. Yet I was full of energy, jumping and head banging and pushing and shoving and falling and coming up again and jumping and screaming and singing and laughing and crying and screaming some more. Click: Repair. Anberlin, Relient K, Jonezetta, Daphne Loves Derby, Mae, The Reason, Sherwood.  Thanks so much.
and now I'm at home. |
