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
