SKILLET!!!!!

OMG!
The Skillet concert was........ beyond words. AMAZING!!! FABULOUS!!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!

Yeah. I had... ahhh fun is such an understatement. It was one of the most incredible nights of my life!!! I'd never been to a concert like that before; everyone jumping and screaming all the time. Wow. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get into the music at all, but as soon as I heard the first power cord, and felt the vibrations hit my chest I completely let go, and it was awesome.

The first two bands were o.k... nothing special, just loud and I actually went deaf after the second one finished playing. I mean seriously, Jake was standing right next to me and even though the music had stopped and we were in a fairly quiet spot he STILL had to shout at me. And I at him, so it wasn't just me.

The crowds energy went up like ten times as soon as Skillet came out on stage and it was AMAZING!!! The lead singer... who I still don't know his name... said we were one of the loudest audiences ever. There were only like... 500 of us too, and we all just screamed out hearts out. We were a GREAT audience =D The actual music was just.... Wow!!! They played Comatose first which made everyone so happy. But then they played Whispers in the Dark and people went CRAZY!!! That, the worship song they did, and Rebirthing was by far the most amazing part of the night.

They started playing Rebirthing, and if I thought people were already crazy in there, I was WRONG!!!! Everyone went INSANE!!!! I was on India's back at that point and could see everything and wow, the crowd was incredible. Hearing Rebirthing live was sooooo fabulous. And it made me so so SO happy!!! I was screaming out the words and when I wasn't screaming the words, I was just screaming! Everyone was. I'm sure they could hear us in Kennebunk!

The weirdest part of the night was seeing the band live in front of me. After watching all the music video's and seeing all the pictures, and then they were like BAM! right in front of me! The lead singer had such a good stage presence. He was funny, kept the audience involved, talked to us lots, and was just really good. He has two little kids that are cuter then your kids will ever be.
His words not mine.

And then of course, aside from the actual concert, I had a lot of fun hanging out with Jake, India, Anna and Katie!!! Those girls (Jakes not a girl but whatever) are amazing =D and Jake was nice and sweet as always. He hung out with us most of the night which I thought was really nice since there were tons of his other friends there as well. Riding in the car was fun too. I got really hyper and a lot of nasty secrets of mine that I don't usually let people know got let out. Mostly by Anna but I didn't really stop her....

Today, I am exhausted. Try jumping up and down screaming for three hours and see how you feel.

Sore.

yeah.

Oh well it was totally worth it!!!


Rebirthing - Skillet

I lie here paralytic
Inside this soul
Screaming for you till my throat is numb
I wanna break out I need a way out
I don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this womb I’m suffocating

Feel your presence filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take you in
I’ve died

Rebirthing now
I wanna live for love wanna live for you and me
Breathe for the first time now
I come alive somehow
Rebirthing now
I Wanna live my life wanna give you everything
Breathe for the first time now
I come alive somehow

I lie here lifeless
In this cocoon
Shedding my skin cause
I’m ready to
I wanna break out
I found a way out
I don’t believe that it’s gotta be this way
The worst is the waiting
In this womb I’m suffocating

Bridge:
Tell me when I’m gonna live again
Tell me when I’m gonna breathe you in
Tell me when I’m gonna feel inside
Tell me when I’m gonna feel alive

Tell me when I’m gonna live again
Tell me when this fear will end
Tell me when I’m gonna feel inside
Tell me when I’ll feel alive

I Adore Skillet and always will.

To you who think Skillet is a dumb name.
1. Buy the album anyways
2. Shut up.
