Why Concerts Make Some Of The Best Memories

"Music is the strongest form of magic."

Why Concerts Make Some Of The Best Memories
Daniel Ebersole

Music is one of the most impactful aspects of everyone's lives. Music inspires, empowers, motivates, and understands. It's no wonder why concerts and the experiences that accompany them can be so memorable. You never forget your first concert, whether it was seeing your favorite band or artist only a year ago or seeing Hannah Montana live when you were 8 years old. What is it about concerts that are so compelling?

Concerts are compiled of some of the ineffable experiences. The energy in and of itself is almost indescribable; anticipation for your favorite artist to take the stage, falling in love with new music by an opening act, hundreds of people cheering nonstop, feeling each kick of the bass drum as if it's in your bones. Once the artist takes the stage, you forget anything and everything that's been bothering you, and all that matters is the fun you're having, and hearing the music you love being played live. It's even incredible to hear every person in the venue singing along to your favorite song, every voice reverberating throughout the vicinity, every lyric meaning something different to each person.

Along with the exhilaration from the atmosphere of concerts, the experience as a whole is made even better by the person standing by your side. My best concert experiences were with my best friend, my cousins, or my brother. Whether you're with a friend, family member, sibling, or significant other, the memories made at your favorite concert are even more special when shared with someone you love. Music brings you closer together, and is undeniably a great thing to have in common. The experience is even better when you make a night out of it; getting dinner before the show, figuring out the train route into the city, exploring the city itself, and talking about how great the show was afterwards because you're way too energized to even think about falling asleep.

Whether you've been to several concerts, or only one, it's undoubtedly a moment you are never going to forget. If you're front row, or in the nose-bleed seats, with a friend by your side and your favorite artist on the stage, you're bound to make endless memories and take a considerable amount of pictures and videos (just don't take too many - make sure you enjoy the concert and live in the moment!). Hopefully, we'll all be fortunate enough to be able to see our favorite artists live eventually. Until then, reflect on past concerts, keep an eye out for tour dates, and jam out to your favorite artist.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
