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.
