SAOSIN!!!

Got to see my FAVORITE band tonight!!!!! What's even more awesome is that they're pretty much an underground band.  They've only had 2 songs (You're not alone and Changing) on the radio (and I never even heard them on the radio- I've only heard this from other people).  Being an underground band equals small concerts and small venues for cheap tickets.  Which means I was 3 feet from the stage!!!!!!!

Cove (the singer) was amazing tonight.  He went all out on vocals.  They were all awesome.   I've seen them 3 times (at warped tour last summer, a small venue last November and then tonight) and this was probably my favorite time so far.  Partly because this was the smallest concert, and partly because they were going all out tonight.  3 feet away!! I can't believe it.  AND they played [one of] my favorite song[s] (Some sense of security)!  I had been waiting for them to do that since they didn't the two other times we saw them.  I heard the opening chords and could barely believe it.  I looked at Nathan like "wait, really?  MY SONG???" I kind of started freaking out at that point.  It sounded great live.  I figured they wouldn't do that one or Come Close (they haven't played Come close) live because vocals would be hard on Cove's vocal chords.  But they did it!  And it was amazing.

Then at the end, right before Bury Your Head , Nathan gave me a small kiss on the cheek.  Then we looked up and Chris (bass player) was staring right at us!  He had a weird look in his eye as if to say "what, you just kissed her?"  And he kept staring at us!  We both just smiled at each other (me and Chris) and I started singing along and he smiled at us again and then got wrapped up in the song.  Ahh!  Chris noticed us!  And we were 3 feet away!!!  Too bad it wasn't Cove.  (by the way- I re-named my car Cove.  Nathan really doesn't like the name Sebastian and kept making fun of it.  So I named it Cove.  and it has good alliteration: Cove the Cobalt.  Plus, I love Cove and I love Saosin, so it works out).

I'm basically still pumped right now- which is bad because I really need to get to bed.
I took a few picture and i'll upload them tomorrow.


To anyone who reads my blog:  CHECK OUT SAOSIN!!! If you like good music and can appreciate really unique guitar and bass parts, and awesome lyrics, then you'll love them.  Also, if you hate all of the popular crap that's out right now (ie: lady gagme and britney needs to be stabbed by spears) and you're into rock, then you'll love them.  Seriously. (recommendations (aside from all of them): Come Close, Some Sense of Security, Love Maker (aka Worst of Me), Let Go Control, Bury Your Head, Sleepers, Changing, On My Own, and Collapse).  (Also: I Never Wanted To, Say Goodbye, Fireflies, Alarming Sound of a Still Small Voice, Seven Years, Lost Symphonies and Is This Real).
