The Story
A memory behind the music
I remember seeing this band when i was 17 with pretty much all of my friends. The show was somewhere in west hollywood at a small live house that was popular with the teenagers. It was a big show. It was so full of teenagers that either were in love with this lone acoustic guitar player and singer or teenagers that desperately wanted to be as cool as him. And some of the audience members were a bit of both there. This was when I was closest to all my high school friends. Jay, Tim, Christa, John, Joe, Jennifer, Heather, TC, Nick, Case, Derek, Carolyn. A long list of people and more that I can't remember. And so many of us were there at this loud but quiet live house watching this one guy sing about heartbreak. So many of those friends were dating each other, or had been dating each other, or were cheating on each other with others in the group. But then there was just me. I wanted to be heartbroken like this guy sang about. But I honestly never was. I always was pining for someone. Someone that never liked me back.
