You Me At Six, dinner maybe? (;

Well well well,  look who came back for more?  Well, this week is the 5 person band of You Me At Six!  They are really beautiful musicians and I have seen them twice, but one of the times was not enjoyable, and the second was more than the other. 

The members are...

Joshua James Alphonse Franceschi

Daniel David Flint

Max Michael Helyer

Matthew James Barnes

Bass guitar

Christopher James Miller

Lead guitar

Joe Philips

You are probably wondering about why I didn't like the first show.  It's nothing about the band, it's the fans.  VI(their logo and nickname) have insane fans. Mosh pits, crowd surfing, the whole thing.  I was fallen on, and my legs were stuck under multiple people and I was terrified.  The good thing was, the fans are also very helpful, I reached my hand up to grab anything and this HUGE kid, grabbed my hand and literally pulled me out and back on the floor,  and smiled.  I screamed a thank you over the music, which was pounding my my chest, and help onto my friend the rest of the night.  That was the whole reason, and it all started from a mosh pit.  The second time, I was hit in the head 13 times, yeah 13, by people feet who were crowd surfing and people in mosh pits who have no courtesy for anyone but themselves.  

Anyway, I don't have much else to say about this, so now the song.  

This song is called Crash.  It's slow and beautiful.  

Lyrics:

Wait, where you say you've been?
Who you been with?
Where you say you're goin'?
Who you goin' with?

Keep me on my toes,
Keep me in the know.

Wait, keep me in your skin,
Keep me in your chest.
I'll wait for it to start,
I'll wait for it to end.

Keep me on my toes,
Keep me in the know.

But when I looked at her,
I thought of only you.
If only there was proof I could use to show it's true.

We were young,
We were in our teens.
It wasn't real love,
Spent behind bars.
Oh it's sad to think,
We just let it be.
Prisoners of love.

It's so easy for it to be,
Something second guessed.
Easy to read,
Don't let it become,
A meaningless routine.
It's meaningless to me.

But when I looked at her,
I thought of only you.
If only there was proof I could use to show it's true.

Just crash, fall down,
I'll wrap my arms around you now.
Just crash, it's our time now,
To make this work second time around.

We grew up,
We worked and changed our ways.
Just like wildfire,
Been burning now for days.
Tearing down those walls,
Nothing's in our way.
I said, nothing's in our way.

And I know,
I've said this all before,
But opposites attract.
We try and run away,
But end up running back.
And all I want to do,
All I want to do,
Is lie down and...

Crash, fall down.
I'll wrap my arms around you now.
Just crash, it's our time now,
To make this work, second time around.

Oh crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.

So, this week is not a review or anything.  This is my 'Why the hell would you wanna write about these bands with weird names and long hair every week when you could write about anything else?'.  Well, if you want to know, you can read, but if not, wait till next week.

So when I was younger, I listened to 'radio music', and I still do.  But all I listened to was what was on the radio, and it was a small spectrum of music.  One day, one if my friends showed me the band Never Shout Never.  The first song I listened to, I loved it. I then had one CD that I would listen to, which was just his music.  After then, I learned more and more about new bands that would be going on tour with NSN, and learned all about how these songs were not about money or women or sex.  It was about being happy with yourself, being accepted, and just to be happy. 

When I was in the 8th grade, I had a hard year.  Not with school, but at home.  It's not as hard everyone had, but it was for me.  Music was my outlet.  I was able to listen to music, and I would be happy again. I went to concerts and I felt better.  The I learned about two bands that really spoke to me; All Time Low and The Ready Set.  I have spoken about them on my blog before but they are two bands I love with all my heart.  I wait online for new music, new concert announcements.  I sat outside in the cold for 5 hours and missed school (which I rarely do, if you know me) to get a wrist band so I could meet All Time Low and hear them sing a few songs.  If that's not dedication, then I don't know what is.  I went to a concert and waited in a huge crowd of people(and I panic in large crowds) just so I could get a picture and huge The Ready Set.  Never Shout Never I love as well.  I have five shirts from him, a Christmas ornament, all his CDs and have stuck by him through all the changes he has gone through. 

And now that you know why I write this.  Maybe you'll appreciate it a little more...or not, it's whatever.
