So, i've been thinking a lot about music lately...if you're reading this on Myspace or Facebook, you might or might not know that i listen to Christiam music to a large degree...i mean, i do listen to some secular music (i have a particular soft spot for Coldplay)...if you know me at all, you probably know that music is HUGE in my life (and if you don't know me, why on earth are you reading this?)...the other day, i was thinking about why i listen to so much Christan rock...because i love rock, in its many forms...rap, country, pop, not so much, but rock, i love it...i love concerts...i love that i can find rock that glorifies the God i worship
if you're going to continue reading after this sentance, i ask that if you disagree with me, that you do it kindly, and that you don't yell at me for believing what i do, and for voicing this...this is completely about my life, and my faith
I have been a Christian all my life, but it's really since i started going to Wilmington Conference that my faith really became strong and true...but that's not what this is about
I went to my first concert when i was 11, going on 12...it was Spirit Song 2002, at King's Island...i only saw two artists, Point of Grace and Newsboys (and i missed part of Newsboys set)...i wanted to see Relient K, but i missed them (this concert did spark an interest in them, and so i started listening to them after this)...it was a fantastic day, and it inspired my love of concerts
Relient K is really what started it all, actually...i mean, i got really into them in 8th grade, when i was also really into secular rock, which wasn't doing much for me...and because of them, i started listening to RadioU the summer between 9th and 10th grades...RadioU has been my favorite radio station since then, and i honestly don't know what i would do if i hadn't found some of the music RadioU introduced me to
Relient K was my second concert, it was at the Newport music hall, during November of my Freshman year of high school, the day before their fourth CD came out...so they gave us all free copies of the CD for being there...that was an amazing show, i went with Sam, Amy, and Sam's mom, Barb...i can't go past or to that UDF without thinking of that concert
i still listened to a lot of secular music at that point, but there was more and more Christian stuff making its way in...then i discovered RadioU, and absolutely loved it...and then Sam introduced me to Sides of the North, which is STILL one of my absolute favorite bands, even if they broke up in 2006
i go to a LOT of concerts...i think i'm nearing having gone to 30 concerts in my life, and i'm not stopping anytime soon...and because i go to primarily Christan concerts
will finish later |
