It's amazing how time runs, but sometimes we wish it didn't run so faster, don't we? One year ago I had the chance to live which was the best day of my life when, after years and years of waiting, I finally could go to a concert of one of my favourite bands: THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS. It was very special because it was my first concert ever, it was my first time in Madrid and I met friends that I'd met before by internet but I hadn't seen them face to face and I could hug them. But the most special thing about this is that I saw my favourite band live.
The night before leaving Murcia I was very nervous and all I had in my mind was the idea of leaving the tickets at home so I couldn't get into the concert. I think I cheked the list of things to bring to Madrid every five minutes that night (my mum almost killed me because I was very nervous and I made my mum nervous too). On Tuesday 2nd, at 7:30pm, My friends and I cought the train, and four hours later we were in the Capital. We arrived at 11:30pm and all we did was having dinner and going to the hotel to sleep a bit. (They slept, I didn't). We woke up at 6:00am and by 7:00am we were in the subway on our way to the stadium where the concert was going to take place. And when we arrived, the first thing I did was hugging every human being of my group of friends that was queueing for the concert. I never cry but that day I think I produced a flood. I remember that it was very cold. My friends had spent the night there and the floor was all full of blankets and sleeping bags. We brought them the breakfast to thank them for keeping a place for us. The rest of the day was really amazing. I don't have words to describe it. We even met the supporting band that was one of my favourite bands too: YOU ME AT SIX.
At 8:00pm the doors were opened and we got into the stadium. I couldn't believe that I was in the second line. I could almost touch the stage. I was very excited, nervous and hot because inside the place it was too hot in contrast to the outside where it was really cold. I remember to be talking with my friend about how amazing it was going to be when, suddenly, the lights went off and the concert started. And there were them, You Me at Six, giving their souls on the stage and making us feel as we could fly. Their concert was forty five minutes long and I left my voice with them. They were simply amazing and I will never forget the fact that I met them after the concert. They were kind, funny and very, very, very amazing people. And, of course, very talented artists.
After their concert it was the turn of Thirty Seconds to Mars. If I say they were incredibly amazing I would be lying. They were beyond that. With every song, with every note, with every single word they said, they made me feel I was at home. That were the place I belonged. The sense of my mind exploding, the heart beating faster and faster, the feel of the crowd screaming the songs... It felt like we were one. All the songs they played were spectacular but that ones which were more important because of their meanings such as closer to the edge, this is war, attack, do or die, or up in the air were absolutely unbelievable. They don't know but they gave me the best experience of my life and I will always be thankful for that. Actually, I could say their songs have an influence very powerfull on me and I still can't believe that I could leave my heart, soul and voice with them on the stage.
And one year later, here I am, writing about how amazing the concert was and almost crying because I miss the people I met there. Music put people together.
I'm sure many people won't understand what I feel for bands like these and also the fact that, one year later I'm still thinking about one single night, but as Jared Leto (lead singer of 30STM) says:
"It's not only music. It's not only art. It's a
community. It's a sense of having a place to
belong. Not everybody will understand it.
And that's OK. Some people ask us if This
Is A Cult. I say this: It's something special.
It's not for everyone. It's only for those who
understand." ♥
