A Lesson Through My Eyes

So last night my boyfriend and I went to the Go Radio show at Bottom of the Hill (above picture is one Alex took of the line outside of the venue). Let me say, first off, the venue was complete crap. We had our tickets changed to be under my boyfriend’s name so that his ID would be the one to get us in, we got the confirmation email and EVERYTHING, but apparently, those emails are just sent for funsies, ‘cause they did not get the memo at the front desk. We were almost sent to the back of the line to wait all over again for their fuck-up, but thankfully my boyfriend’s brother-in-law came in and saved the day and we finally got in.

5606 was a pretty chill band, they were definitely pretty funny dudes. The lead singer actually gave us copies of their EP when we were outside waiting to get picked up (which is pretty dope by the way, and you guys should totally download their EP as well off their Facebook [free of charge, naturally]). Tyler Carter came on, and we all know he has an awesome voice. No exception live, though I didn’t know the kid wasn’t even 21 yet! Lots of talent at such a young age, pretty dope. This Providence followed, and they were pretty damn awesome; I definitely need to cop their work. And finally, the moment I was waiting for for so many months, Go Radio came on to the sirens of the opener, Lucky Street.

Their entire set was absolute magic, I was screaming my heart out to every single song (and I think I was one of the only ones who knew the words to the new song they were playing, “What If You Don’t.”) I was jumping, dancing, clapping, everything. But what made my night was when they played The Truth Is. I turned my boyfriend around, and put my arms around him, burying my face into his neck ‘cause I knew what was about to happen. I closed my eyes, and began to sing for him, swaying in the spot slowly. That song is one of the three songs we’re dancing to when he and I get married, so to hear it played live, from these guys who mean the world to me, was so emotionally overwhelming, it was rather hard to contain. So I didn’t, and I belted out every line to him. Every word, every verse. It was by far one of the most emotional/memorable moments of my life thus far.

So once again, I wanna thank you, Go Radio, for an absolute amazing night. Sorry I couldn’t stick around to meet you all a third time, I had an emergency to attend to immediately after the concert, but nevertheless, it was everything I needed. <3
