I'm gunna be so so gay right now, but I need to write a post about Shadows Chasing Ghosts. I'm beyond fucking gutted that they've called it a day. And I know to most people they're 'just another band' but not to me they weren't. They were my friends. Some of the most humble and sweetest fucking guys I have ever ever met. They meant more to me than pretty much anything. They've cheered me up, been there for me and made me smile more times than I care to remember. They also made me realise that I can be whoever the hell I want to be and do whatever I want to do and not to give a fuck about anyone or anything else. /emo They got me into band photography. SCG were the first band I started taking photos of and they gave me so much confidence to carry on doing it, so for that, I'm eternally grateful. Every single show I've been to of theirs, whether it was a headline show or as a support, they have never disappointed, ever. And I've been to a LOT of shows :') The tiny little acoustic show they did in Leeds will forever be one of the best shows I've been to. The fact it was just me, my boyfriend and about 10 other people made it so special to me and their cover of Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me makes me bawl my eyes out every time I hear it:( it's so beautiful. Newcastle last night for the final show was beyond amazing. I was an absolute sobbing fucking mess. They played Home, then went off stage, came back on and played Needle and Sunlight and omfg. I was sobbing uncontrollably from Home onwards. It was perfect. Despite my fractured rib and bruised to fuck back. :') It's such a shame seeing amazing talent go unrecognised and to waste. I'm just glad I was there from the start and got to spend the last 3 years with them. They had the potential to be absolutely fucking huge, and all their hard work and effort and passion proved that. I've met some of the most incredible friends through these guys as well. Especially Nikki, Fiona and all the Scottish guys and girls. I honestly wish them the best and all the luck in the world with absolutely everything they do and they'll 100% have my support. Thanks for everything, guys. So much love for you all.
