OWL CITY MOSH
14 years ago
So! On Monday (July 25, 2011) my mother and I flew up to Houston Texas to see Owl City, my 100% favorite band/guy (Owl City is almost entirely Adam Young) in the WHOLE WORLD. There, we found out that Unwed Sailor (never heard of them, they were eh, but entirely instrumental, which was kinda cool) and MAT KEARNEY. I know two songs by Kearney, both of which are intensely special to me. His song Closer To Love has been one of my top favorite songs for a very long time, and his song Nothing Left to Lose was on the playlist I took to Europe. This playlist was made up of songs I had not heard much previously, and some of them not at all. They were (in order of the playlist):
Closer to the Edge-30 Seconds to Mars
Dare You to Move-Switchfoot
For The First Time-The Script
Good Life- OneRepublic (Woke up in London yesterday.... :3)
Iridescent-Linkin Park
Last Train Home-Ryan Star
Mr. Right-Rocket to the Moon
Nothing Left to Lose-Mat Kearney
Raise Your Glass-Pink
Wait For Me-Theory of a Deadman
Your Surrender-Neon Trees
Kearney played BOTH Closer to Love AND Nothing Left to Lose. Plus, he jumped OUT INTO THE AUDIENCE. I was like, DUN BREAK HIM PLZ!!! D: I got a hold of him and, when I went back to where I had been, people had moved and I was in the second row in front of the stage! I WAS SO CLOSE!
Mat Kearney made my night and Owl City took me straight to heaven. :D
Adam Young is great in person! He seems so shy, and he dances like a complete dork. :3 I kind of expected him to turn into a ballerina at any moment. And, being the dumbass I am, I FORGOT MY CAMERA IN THE HOTEL ROOM SO I HAVE NO TRUE PROOF OF BEING AT THE CONCERT. Oh wait, my tickets. :3 It was a WONDERFUL concert. The lighting, the atmosphere, etc. Adam sang songs from ALL his albums, and the one I figured he wouldn't play, Tip of the Iceburg (consequently my favorite from Ocean Eyes), was the second song he played!
I couldn't get the guy to frickin' look over at us. The whole time, he was looking straight ahead or to his left. We were on the right. FINALLY, ON THE VERY LAST (terribly romantic If My Heart Was a House) SONG, HE LOOKED OVER AT ME. AND SANG AT ME. For ten seconds, my life was complete.
He threw a guitar pick and it hit me in the hand and bounced out of reach. FML. But I hung around after most people had left and they found one last pick sitting onstage and one of the roadies gave it to me. I got three Owl City bracelets there, which added to my first one and my Sky Sailing bracelet make a rather bulky arm. :D
Also, we are so sweet that we are comparable to Choco Tacos and Ice Cream Snickers Bars. Owl City said it. Therefore I believe it.
OWL CITY MOSH PIT WUT.
