—————————🎸————————-

When you started at the Behavioural Analysis Unit the last thing you expected was to meet someone like Spencer but you’re insanely glad you did. 

When he met your daughter she was only five months old and he acted like a father to her right from that first day and he still did now 3 years later. 

You’re daughter, Delilah, was one of the biggest Taylor Swift fans due to your love for the singer and when you found out she was doing a tour there was no way you couldn’t get tickets.

Spencer insisted he come with you to the concert to look after the both of you as it was a busy place. Of course, you could look after yourself and Delilah on your own but you’re glad he wanted to come, he always wanted to be around you both. 

In the weeks leading up to the concert all of Spencer’s free time was spent in Delilah’s playroom at the arts and crafts table with the little girl on his lap as he tied the friendship bracelet she made, he had to help her with her smaller beads as well since she couldn’t quite thread those through yet without getting upset at it not going right on her first try.

You watched from the doorway as Delilah threaded some beads onto some elastic and Spencer stuck some stickers on a pair of headphones, which seemed a bit strange to you.

“Dada tie pwease! Hi mommy,” Delilah said skipping over to Spencer holding the bracelet tight. 

Spencer looked up at her, reaching for the bracelet before looking at you, “Hi honey.”

“Hi, my favourite people ever,” You said, taking a seat across from Spencer on the small pink chairs, “What are you doing?” 

“Making friendship bracelets for the concert, Daddy said I have one-hundrwed and twenty-four,” Your daughter said, showing you inside the bag. 

“Wow baby that’s a lot, I think that’s enough now, What about you babe?”

“I’m decorating a pair of ear defenders with cute stickers for Delilah to wear at the concert because children have more sensitive ears compared to us adults and the noise at a concert can exceed 100 decibels making it unsafe for children, it can result in noise-induced hearing loss.”

“But what if I can’t hear Taylor,” Delilah pouted. 

“You will still be able to hear her sweetheart it just won’t be as loud which will protect your ears,” Spencer reassured stroking her back. 

“That’s very sweet of you Spence thank you.” 

“Will you let me dress you up!” Delilah cut you off before you could even finish. 

“I thought you and Mommy were dressing up?” 

“We are but you could too! What about a cowboy hat and lots of bracelets,” Delilah grinned mischievously. 

“Leave him alone baby, I don’t think he wants to be dressed up,” You said trying to help him out. 

“But- pleaseeee,” Delilah’s eyes shinned with tears, once she had something in her head it was not easy to convince her to let it go. 

“If you want me to dress up I will, am I going as some kind of cowboy?” He asked running the pad of his thumb over her cheek where one tear had fallen. 

“You don’t have to Spence.”

“It’s fine I would do anything for her.”

“Daddy loves me not you!” Delilah stuck her tongue out to you.

“I love both of you,” He replied.

————

The day of the concert, Delilah ran into your bedroom as soon as the light began to shine through the curtains. She scrambled onto the bed trying to find a space between you and Spencer. 

“Wake up,” she ‘whispered’, “It’s time to get dressed! Taylor day!!” And that you and Spencer were awake way before 6 am when you had a long day ahead of you.

By 10 am you and Delilah were in your matching outfits which were a pair of cowboy boots, and a blush pink dress as she had said it would make you both look like princesses. You’d finished curling her hair adding in little gems and were about to do your hair while Delilah chose Spencer's outfit. 

“Mommy, what do cowboys wear?” 

“Umm, I don’t think Dada has any ‘cowboy clothes’ baby so maybe pick a t-shirt, a flannel shirt and some jeans?”

“What is a flannel shirt,” Delilah raised an eyebrow, “Also I not a baby I’m princess!”

“Sorry princess. Spence honey can you help her please.”

Spencer opened the closet getting out the things you had listed for him to wear, “Here is this a good enough outfit, Princess Delilah?”

“Hm yep with some face stickers, sparkles and bracelets of course!” She giggled.

Once Spencer was dressed Delilah got to work sticking face gemstones on his cheekbones and forehead before adding some bracelets she made and his cowboy hat. 

“Now we see Mommy for glitter,” She said taking his hand.

When they walked over you were finishing your lipstick and your heart instantly melted at what Spencer had let your daughter do to him. 

“Oh, you both look wonderful!” You laughed kissing Spencer’s cheek lightly, “Are you both ready?”

“Close, me and Daddy need a little bit of sparkle glitter and me want lipstick pwease,” Delilah said climbing onto the make-up stool.

“On it,” You brushed some glitter on his face while whispering an apology to him before turning to Delilah and doing hers. 

—————

You had picked seats with no one sitting behind you in case you needed to hold Delilah so she could see and so it wasn’t too busy around her for her first time at a concert. 

Spencer left you at your seats to get some bottles of water as it was warm out and he wanted to make sure you stayed hydrated. 

By the time Spencer was back the countdown had started and everyone was cheering loudly. 

Delilah covered her small ears with her hands jogging Spencer’s memory of the ear defenders, he reached into his bag and took them out placing them over her ears gently after she took her hands away. 

“Can you still hear baby?” Spencer asked.

The little girl nodded before pointing, “Yeah but I can’t see Taylor.”

Spencer picked Delilah up placing her on his shoulders and that’s where she remained for the rest of the night unless they took sitting breaks or toilet breaks as it was a long concert. 

As much as Taylor’s performance was incredible and you wanted to watch her as much as possible you couldn’t seem to draw your eyes away from your beautiful daughter and your incredible boyfriend, he was the most wonderful dad ever to her. 

Occasionally Delilah would come down from his shoulders and ask both of you to dance with her in the small space you had between your seats.

At one point during the concert, you began filming Delilah and Spencer dancing with each other when you felt a tap on your shoulder. 

You turned your head to see a woman smiling at the three of you. 

“He is an excellent father,” she said. 

“He is, he’s amazing,” You replied, you were glad you caught that on the video you were taking to show to Spencer later or when he was in one of his spells having doubts about being a good dad.

“When are you having your next?” 

“Oh, I’m not sure, I don’t know if we are having any more yet.”

The woman nods at her, “Well I hope you enjoy the rest of your night.”

“Thank you, you as well,” you said to her before wrapping your arms around Spencer’s waist. 

“Are you having fun sweetheart?” He asked, running his hand over your arm. 

“Of course, so much fun! I love watching you and Delilah dancing.” 

Spencer laughs, “She’s going to be shattered by the end of the concert.” 

“Shame she’s getting too heavy for me to carry,” you giggled.

“You're definitely strong enough to carry her, but you know I will.” 

—————

And just as Spencer had predicted by the time you were leaving the venue Delilah was whining saying she was tired and when you were in the queue to get the subway back to the car park she was already in Spencer's arms sleeping against his chest. 

The both of you sat in the free seats on the subway which were opposite each other, Delilah was cuddled up to Spencer on his lap. It made your heart swell seeing how she had her head rested against his chest and her hand was fisted holding onto his shirt while the bracelets that were too big for her wrists rolled down her wrists.

Spencer placed a soft kiss on the top of Delilah’s head before stroking her hair to comfort her around the loud noise of the subway and crowds of people, hoping the noises combined wouldn’t wake her.

You snapped a few pictures of them together before reaching across the aisle to hold his hand for a quick moment. 

“Tired?” he mouthed.

“So tired,” You mouthed back. 

“I love you,” He mouthed once again. 

“I love you too.”

Apparently, yesterday marked the 31st anniversary of Rammstein's first concert under their proper band name (they had one gig in February 1994 under the moniker 'Templeprayers'). The concert took place on the 24th of March, 1995 in the naTo venue in Leipzig, and solely due to Flake's brother, who's band 'Golden Acker Rhythm Kings'/'Acker Selection' was the main act this evening, they were able to take on the role as support act and present themselves on stage. Not much is known about the concert, neither pictures nor set list.

Here's a quote of Flake about it:

"Our world premiere took place at naTo, Rammstein's first performance. Not even we knew how people would react to us, and the crew at naTo simply let us play without hesitation. It's wonderful that something like naTo exists."

Here's a little report of Flake about the first concert (taken from the book '30 Jahre naTo'):

Translation:

The NATO in Rammstein

A young band usually has insane self-confidence, but we had already gained experience in our previous bands, which led us to decide that our first concert should definitely not take place in Berlin, where family members or – even worse – musician colleagues could attend. My brother (Auge) was playing at the time, in 1994, with the Golden Acker Rhythm Kings and agreed to take us along as a support act.

Fortunately, I owned a huge American station wagon (an Oldsmobile Regency Sedan Station from 1976, in case anyone wants to see a picture of us sitting three across in the front seat). Moss was growing on the window seals, and the steering gear was broken. The journeys to the concerts were usually the most enjoyable part.

When we arrived in Leipzig, we were warmly welcomed and put on our undershirts, which were supposed to serve as our stage costumes. Little did we know that we would be taking them off after the fourth song. Till, to hide his nervousness, put on a welder’s mask and looked like a large, friendly insect.

Slowly, the hall filled with friendly, open-minded Leipzigers who were looking forward to a fun evening. So we took the stage as if it were the most natural thing in the world and started playing. Since we were so focused on our instruments, we didn’t move at all. I only looked into the audience after a few songs. The people stood there frozen. No one clapped or danced; they just stared at us in shock.We hadn’t been announced as the support act, and my brother’s band performed more humorous songs, where English lyrics were phonetically transformed into new German texts.

The funniest part must have been for those in the audience who didn’t realize that we weren’t actually the announced main act. For example, I once wanted to watch a TV show featuring the comedy duo Badesalz, who often disguise themselves as ordinary passersby to provoke funny reactions. I tuned in late and laughed out loud at a report about the residents of a house in Kreuzberg, trying to figure out which of them was from Badesalz—only to realize after the show that I had gotten the day wrong.

In any case, we played in front of a silent crowd who, at least, didn’t leave. By the end of the concert, they were still standing there exactly as before—but then even cautiously applauded. We were very relieved. Now we were a real band that had survived a concert. I then played with the Ackers as well and, as a result, fell behind in drinking. That’s why I was the one who got to drive the car back to Berlin with five sleeping stones in it.

So, dear NATO: Thanks for the asylum, and best regards from Flake.

It has been a wide spread myth that the first Rammstein concert took place on the 14th of April, 1994. Flake's brother drew comics based on notes about the concert on the 24th. So happy (belated) live concert anniversary to Rammstein 🤍

1979 is such a beautiful song, and while i dont listen to the smashing pumpkins a lot, they are such a wonderful band. i had the absolute honour of seeing them in 2024, and it was my first concert! genuinely a crazy first gig and i wouldnt have it any other way. the song is so sentimental to me, listening to it after every good moment in my life elevates it more every time i hear it. when im sad i play it and i think of good times. very nice it is. if nostalgia were a song itd be this one. without a doubt. so good. such a good song
