The Concert that Me Feel Miles Away and Weightless

I don't know what's exactly on my mind the moment the lights turned off and the crowd started screaming and shouting. All I know is that in some way my life will never be the same again. I waited so long. I missed a lot of ATL and The Maine concerts. But last night was different. I have FINALLY lived up to that moment I've been wanting to happen ever since I fell in love with All Time Low and The Maine. It FINALLY happened and I swear, in that moment I was infinite. 

I can't actually split my feelings into two. I love both All Time Low and The Maine so much. They're my main bands (1D and Jobros excluded). I have grown so fond of their music. Their music has been the anthem of my high school life. They make me smile and cry all at the same time. I love them. Words aren't enough to explain how much I love these bands and their music.

Before the concert, my friend and I dropped by for more than an hour in their hotel hoping we would meet any of them. We only saw Pat Kirch, drummer of the Maine, leave the hotel and he only waved at us because as usual, security is always a hurdle.

When we got inside the Arena, a group of people started screaming moments later when Alex Gaskarth was spotted sitting and casually watching us at the Premier Suites 421. When everybody noticed him, he ran away which I find so cute.

So I told you earlier that I can't split my feelings into two but I wanted to make a separate post for The Maine and All Time Low so mehhhh. :)

The Maine

THE MAINE MY LOVES

8123 MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME. I love The Maine so much. They tug every string in my heart. They are the kindest band in the world. They deserve more than what they are receiving right now. I know they're only the front act but it doesn't matter to me. It just pisses me off how some ATL fans keep screaming "All Time Low" while The Maine is having their set. I don't know what's not to like about The Maine. 

So anyway, I was screaming and shouting and crying (literally, yes) when they started singing Miles Away. I felt so alive. I felt so happy. I was singing and dancing like no one's watching (well, no one really is because they're watching the maine hehe). I didn't give a damn what others would say because FINALLY i'm rocking out with my favorite band!

I would've loved it even more if The Maine performed all of their songs from their full length albums Can't Stop, Won't Stop to American Candy. I would also be more emotional if they sang dart sa heart songs like 24 Floors, and songs from Imaginary Numbers. The setlist was not bad at all. But for a 5 year old The Maine fan who hasn't been to any of their Manila shows, I WANTED MORE. I was expecting a lot of songs from Black and White and American Candy. I was upset because they removed Into Your Arms, My Heroine, and My Hair. But that doesn't bother me all too much. I SANG TO THE SONGS OF THE MAINE LIVE AND THAT'S WHAT MORE IMPORTANT.

I am the happiest kid on planet in that moment. I love John O and his speech which I can barely remember. He said that be who you want to be. Forget all your idols. Do it yourself because at the end of the day you're the only one who can help yourself achieve the things you want in your life. Those are not the exact words he said but that's what I understood. I love him. I just cry.

JOHN OOOOOOOOOHHH

LOOKING FOR MISERY BUT SHE FOUND ME LYING NAKED ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!

SO MUCH LOVE <3333

 All Time Low

ALL TIME LOW

I don't know what it feels like to be drunk but I feel like that's how I acted when All Time Low took the stage that night. I was screaming, shouting, headbanging and singing to the songs I know all thelyrics to. It feels so good. All Time Low are such great performers. I don't even know why it took me this long to see these awesome guys perform live. They're the epitome of pop rock band. And their setlist that night was LEGEND.

They sang all my favorite songs except for Somewhere in Neverland (which is my most favorite ATL song. Bummed --,--). But to be honest, it was a really awesome setlist. Everyone was rocking out and it makes me feel like I'm floating on Cloud 9. I cannot pick which live performance is my favorite because I LOVE ALL OF THEM. The Irony of Choking on A Lifesaver gave a good transition from the intro song Satellite. Missing You and Therapy made the tears stream down my face. Everything was just so perfect.

I also love the way they interacted with fans. Jack asked some guy who has the same hairstyle as his to go onstage. The guy kept on running and dancing onstage while they were performing.... literally goals. There were a lot more fans invited to go onstage at the latter part of the show. Alex pointed a flashlight on random people and they all went onstage to have fun with them. It was funny because some guy told Alex "maliit ang *toot* (he actually said it) ni Alex." and Alex was like "What the f!#$ck is he saying?" . Well, it's actually not a family concert at all. But it was FUN. I cry every time people remind me of what happened that night.

ALL TIME HIGH IN ALL TIME LOW'S CONCERT

FINALLY ATL HAPPENED TO ME

WEIGHTLESS

I will always look back to this night; the night that made me forget all the stress and pressure that's been eating me alive in the past few months/week. I've been so sad and depressed but then I suddenly feel like I'm miles away from all those cry things and i'm finally floating weightless somewhere with the people I share the same taste of music with. This is one of the best nights of my life. Another goals achieved on my bucket list. I am happy and I can't wait until something so exhilarating and amazing like this happens to me again.
