Carl Tee's Click Five Experience
My name is Carl Tee, lead singer, songwriter of amateur band INVICTUS (check it out on FACEBOOK!), an admin of THE CLICK FIVE PHILIPPINES & THE CLICK FIVE LOVERS, but most of all, an avid fan of The Click Five. I’m just thrilled to share my experience with you guys because I don’t always get to show how I love the Click Five except for the fact that I always listen to their songs everyday! Yes, my day will not be complete without me listening to the Click Five.
I have been a fan of the Click Five since Modern Minds & Pastimes (forgive me for not being a fan of Eric Dill!) ever since I heard JENNY in my cousin’s IPod, I totally fell in love with the song. Unlike other clickers, I was not able to go to their shows because I was rather late when I fell in love with their music, but even so, I bought their album and absorb every song in their record. (By the way, I’m from Philippines!). Having been unfortunate to see them live, I watched every single video of their live performances in YouTube (Yes! I’m sure I watched everything!) All I can say was that they were so amazing live and they were so stylish and cool! They were handsome! (I’m a guy but I have to admit they were all good-looking!) Ever since I got hooked with their music, I was inspired by them to pick up my guitar and try to learn it once more! Then voila!! I learned to play guitar because I wanted to be like them! I wanted to be a musician as well. These guys know how to make real music! I started to form my own band and we got to play for different people bearing The Click Five in our hearts as one of our major influences in music. They may not be so popular like Justin Bieber, One Direction, but the music they make resonates to those people who have deep passion for music. I’m proud to say that we clickers are those kinds of people! The biggest impact they made in my life was that they inspired me and my band to create our own music (not as good as them!) I really look up to them and to end this cheesy yet special experience, all I can say is that I will continue to make music like they do and show to people that The Click Five made my life worth living!
