A Letter To My Favorite Band

You are the only exception.

A Letter To My Favorite Band
My Facebook

Dear Paramore,

It all started in the 7th grade. The first song I heard was ‘That’s What You Get’ on Rockband 2 when I was playing with my cousin. I’ve fallen in love with your music ever since. Then, I later learned to play ‘The Only Exception’ on guitar. Til this day, I know it by heart.

The first record I bought was Brand New Eyes a year after that record was released, I believe. The only song I knew was the only exception, and that sort of became my ‘anthem’ in 7th grade. Later on, I eventually listened to the other songs on Brand New Eyes and I would put it on repeat. I discovered a little later on that you had two other records out, so I slowly, but surely bought the other two.

I know every single song of yours by heart.

On November 24th, 2013 my friend Sydney and I went to your concert for the first time. We decided to go to the venue at around 11 am and noon. Before I left, I saw on the news that it was the coldest day of the year, but it was more than worth it to wait seven hours in line to see you live and SO up close. The seven hours consisted of walking to target several times, talking about our favorite songs, and how excited we were for you guys to start the show.

Since you opened with 'Grow Up' I've associated that song with my first time seeing you guys live and I always will.

I remember Sydney and I wearing the exact same shirts and what a thrill it was to finally see you guys live after four years of listening to your music.

On July 11th, 2014, I had another chance to see you live, but this time with my friend Stacia when you guys were on tour with fall out boy. Although I wasn’t as up close, it was still another amazing experience. Fall Out Boy was amazing too.

A lot of my friends know me as the biggest Paramore fan. I know so much about you and my friends know that I could talk about you forever.

I love the quirks, personalities, and facts that I learn about each member. I love seeing the band grow from when I first listened to you. I love how when you play Misery Business live, you invite someone on stage and the stage is theirs. I also love how the fan base is so incredibly supportive and amazing. I’m so glad I’m apart of it. I love everything about you.

Whenever I feel have a bad day or I just want to hear a happy song, your music lightens up my day.

It’s so crazy to think that because I’ve worn a Paramore shirt, I’ve met some of my best friends. It’s a conversation starter and I meet someone who loves them as much as I do or is first discovering who you are.

The next thing on my bucket list is to meet you guys and to go on Parahoy. It’d be so crazy and amazing to talk to you, tell you how much I love you and give you a hug. Going on stage and singing Misery Business with you would also be amazing.

Ok, ok, anything associated with you, my favorite band in the world, would be amazing. Anything as simple as hanging out with you the whole entire day; jamming out, eating, etc.

I love you, Paramore. Thank you for making music and existing

Love,

Your Biggest Fan

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
