Personal Narrative: A Post-Hardcore Band In Concert

Improved Essays
Personal Narrative It took us about 3 hours to get to Shakopee, it was only 60 degrees, but with the thousands of people lined up, waiting to get in, it felt like 90. We stood in that line for two hours. For awhile, we talked, we met a variety of people, we laughed, we were excited. But once we got closer to the front of the line we all got quiet, this is it, we were in, we were all going to see our idols. We were going to hear them sing, to us, and it was amazing. When you think about seeing someone in concert you think about someone you have been dying to see. The night before we left for Shakopee, I studied the bands, what kind of music they played and what they sounded like. Very few of them became favorites, as I am very picky the kind of music I listen to. I was scared because I was still fairly new to this, but by the end of the night I wasn’t scared …show more content…
Until I met letlive. The way the singer connected with his music was beautiful. At one point he was crying, he was laughing and then after the first song I swear he had us all crying or moving along to the music, It was beautiful. I learned from that specific concert that it isn’t okay to judge a band by a song.
Just because one song isn't good, or sounds funny doesn't mean that their music doesn't mean anything. Music is beautiful in many different ways. I may not listen to letlive. on a daily basis, but by the way the crowd was moving and how we were all emotionally involved, they could change lives with their music. We saw many bands that day, some of them being my favorites or soon to be favorites. I feel that you never get to actually get a band until you have seen them live, because once you see how they interact with their own music, you really get to see them for them, and understand why they're doing this. Each and every one of the artists were

    The band has two members, a singer and a drummer who have been best friends since childhood. I’ve been a fan of the band since their first album in 2013, but they never toured in any of the cities near me, so when I found out that they were coming to Houston, I know I had to check it out. This particular concert was in downtown Houston on a Friday night so I grabbed my friends and we hit the road right after school and…

    The concert of the music from Appalachia was unique. I enjoyed it a lot for it not only was musically pretty, but there was substance and meaning to the words. These songs were stories of the struggles and triumphs of the people. During the concert, I felt the emotion and the presence of the people and afterwards I felt a sense of gratefulness for all that I have. I imagine the people from Appalachia contributing to the beauty and culture of their community as any other people of a community add to the beauty of theirs.…

    Each of these smaller artists had very unique sounding songs, the diversity helped the concern to not get boring as the audience was there listening for 4 hours. Never once during this four hours was I bored or regretful for coming or spending my money on viewing this event. Some of the artist performed in a more melodic way, singing choruses to a dreamy backtrack that was slow and harmonic, while other came onto stage with incredible energy raping extremely loud and forcefully with beats on the background so loud and bassy that the vibrations could be felt…

    Narrative Essay Growing up I never really much appreciated the sound of music. Never had a care or thought of it in the way I could have now. Not up until the summer of 2001; my oldest sister, of the two, would always drive around in our town playing some of her favorite alternative rock tracks. It was calming; driving the backshores, waves crashed into the rocks.…

    Northern Invasion was the time of my life. I haven’t stopped thinking about how awesome it was even though it was a couple months ago in May. There were forty bands over the course of two days and of course I tried to see as many as I could. I still can’t believe I actually saw some of my most favorite bands. Here are some stories about what it was like during four of those bands.…

    3 Doors Down, Mumford and Sons, Eminem, Foo Fighters, and Blues are the bands and styles of music that are always on shuffle in my playlist. I enjoy a variety of music genres but not all. The goal of this music ethnography was to get me out of my comfort zone. So when I heard about a “Screamo” concert, I knew it was the one for me. I enjoy Classic Rock, and some Heavy Metal, but not this genre.…

    I left early on Thursday for my descent back into my hometown, the cold chilly city of Pittsburgh. That night, my friend who goes to Duquesne University, invited me out with her and her friends to go to the 3Lau concert at Club Diesel. Usually the club is over 21 on every night but Thursday, so this night was special for anyone above the age of 18. Whenever she told me that 3Lau would be performing, I got super excited because I had seen them once before this past summer at a music festival on Atlantic City Beach and they were amazing. I arrived home and grabbed a bag of clothes and the necessities to stay over her dorm room that night, hopped in my car, and drove down to Pittsburgh.…

    It was very exciting to see these choirs sing with such passion. I also really liked listening to instruments live. I would rather listen to a pipe organ being played live than on a CD too. In my opinion the pipe organ sounds a lot better when it is played live too. This concert allowed me to hear new instruments live, which was a tremendously amazing experience.…
