There's Nothing Like The Soul Cleansing Experience You Get From Going To A Country Concert

In that moment, I was totally content.

There's Nothing Like The Soul Cleansing Experience You Get From Going To A Country Concert
Jasmine Conti

It was just a typical Saturday.

I was picking up a pizza to take home to my brothers. We were going to spend the night in, watching Netflix. I was on my way home when my phone rang. It was my godfather. I thought he was going to ask me to babysit.

Boy, was I wrong.

I answered the phone, and he said, "I have two tickets to see Kane Brown and Chris Young tonight. Do you want them?"

My jaw dropped, and my phone almost followed. But I caught it with just enough time to let out, in a shrill voice, "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"

He laughed. "Yes, I'll send them over to you."

I was floating.

I called my brother, who not only got my good looks, but also my good taste in music. My enthusiasm was matched by his screams blowing out my eardrums. It was six o'clock, and the show started at 7:30 at the Mann Center of Performing Arts, which was about an hour away.

We rushed to get ready and set off, fueled by cloud nine and country music.

We made it in one piece, and just in time. We found our seats, which were floor seats by the way. We could practically taste the musicians' sweat.

The lights dimmed as Kane Brown walked out on stage. The audience roared. The music matched its sound.

Then his voice, like honey, soothed the screams of a thousand hearts as "Found You" began.

His set was amazing, and just when I thought it couldn't get better, he blew me away all over again.

He sang some of my absolute favorites, like "Used To Love You Sober," "Lose It" and "What Ifs." And when my favorite song, "Heaven," came on, he did something extraordinary.

He invited two little boys up on stage to sing with him, and they were precious!

It made the entire show that much more magical.

He was a dream, but like all dreams, the concert came to an end eventually.

Kane Brown left me, voice hoarse and heart full. We waited, our energy high until the lights went low once more.

And if I wasn't swooning before, I was now.

Chris Young's vocals struck a chord in me that I didn't even know existed, but it's still vibrating inside of me.

His set sent a wave across the audience. He has a way of synchronizing your senses in perfect harmony with his song.

The crowd was on its feet the entire time, bodies swaying and hearts bursting.

I looked over at my little brother and felt his smile like I felt my own.

After the encore, the lights raised once more and we floated through the last electric pulses that buzzed through the room.

In that moment, I was totally content.

I've been to many concerts before, but there's nothing quite like the experience you get when you get a little country.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
