Ode to the Best Band in The World
A friend of mine once told me to write more on my tumblr page. Okay. Let’s see if he noticed.
Let’s begin my first and might be my last post in 2016 with my experience watching the best band in the world, Coldplay.
So I watched their concert two weeks ago in Melbourne. I was never been a die hard fan of the band. I was only aware of them, aware of their songs, aware that they were pretty awesome. I grew up listening to their songs, I just never paid any extra attention to them. I only planned on watching them because whenever I watched their concert on youtube, it looked so awesome, it looked alive. I wanted to experience that on my own, that vibe I got just from watching from my phone screen. Also I wanted to make my friends jealous. Yes, I’m petty like that.
It was a stadium concert. It was big. It was packed with people. It’s uncommon for bands to have a sold out concert in a stadium, but they’re done it already, most of their stadium concerts were sold out. It wasn’t that surprising really, the set of the concert was amazing. I was promised a life-changing concert, and they sure were delivered.
It was the greatest moment of my life thus far. Their songs were great, the concert overall was brilliant. I enjoyed myself watching them. I was lost listening to them. The band, the lighting, the sound, the stage, the visual works, the fireworks, the confetti, the balloons; they all blended together perfectly. Oh, also the xylobands, which was the highlight of the show, literally. Most artists / bands save fireworks for their big exits, not Coldplay. They literally went on stage with a bang. They threw out fireworks and confetti throughout the show. At the beginning, middle, and the end of the show. They didn’t hold anything back. Have I told you that it was the greatest moment of my life? It was also the best concert I have ever went to. THE. BEST.
The picture is the best that I took. Sorry for the no face treatment, Chris. I only aimed to get a good look of Guy. Like most girls do. I’m sure you understand.
Mind you, I’ve been to a lot of concerts in my life. But what Coldplay did / do to me before, during, and after their concert is like no other. The aftermath of their show is so strong. It’s been two weeks and I still can’t move on. I’m still listening to their music on repeat. I’m starting to watch their interviews on youtube in various talk shows. I’m starting to read every articles about them, about their songs, stories behind their albums. I’m also starting to notice their frontman, Chris Martin. The perfect Chris Martin. The hottest of the hots. The handsomest of them all.
His charisma is just too much. His force is just too much for me to handle. It becomes my obsession to know about what he’s doing, what the band is doing, who he’s dating, is there any chance for me to date him, is there any way for him to notice me; that sort of illogical things are in my head right now. I really need another things for me to think about so I can get rid of that obsession. God help me.
Well, to sums it up, Coldplay really deserves to be the best band, the most powerful band in the world right now. And I will never regret having this experience: watched them live, screamed their names out loud, sing their songs non stop, listen to their music, keep up with their schedule, have this irrational obsession, constantly dreaming about them (well, only Chris) every night. I will definitely never regret it.
Thank you, Coldplay. You guys really are the best.
