THE 5SOS CONCERT WAS THE BOMB!
*WARNING: I will sound like a complete fan girl here because it's been too long since I liked a band this much. I'd try to tone it down but we'll see. & this is probably the only time I'd scream and fan over a group of boys way younger than me. Hehehehe.
I never thought that I would ever watch the boys live, if ever they came here. So when they announced their Sounds Live Feels Live tour, I didn't hope for much because it was the UK tour. THEN! I saw on their IG the promo poster for the Asia SLFL tour and I was over the moon! I even considered buying a tix for my sis because she was forced to listen to the new album because I played it ALL THE TIME at home. THEN! I thought of Amielia and asked her if she was going. She was almost going to buy the VIP tix and go on her own when I asked. So we ended up going together and it was such an amazing experience, having a friend fan to go with. We had a good view too because our seats were on the first row of the elevated section, so we were not that blocked by the posters and phones and lots of hands up in the air. *heart eyes*
Ready to start the night
Ready to scream and shout and jump and sing our hearts out
Cal baby!!!! (on the right *heart eyessss*)
They started off with "Carry On" from SGFG and on to their hits. When they started the intro to "Disconnected", I was screaming my head off already because I love that song! Ditched my phone in my pocket and just sang along because I didn't want to look at them from behind my phone screen. Enjoy the moment while it lasts, right?
And THEN, we got to the best part: Waste The Night, Castaway and Jet Black Heart. Mike was awesome with the long note in the intro for JBH, I WAS MINDBLOWN.
The whole song was so super intense. And Calum with his solo....
Cal shared about his backstage fumble, falling in a box that he thought was full. That kid is adorable. Sorry, I'm a Calum girl, hehehehe... :B (Unfortunately, I can't upload the video of when he told that story because Blogger sucks at only 100MB per vid. Boo you.)
So then they got to my all time favourite: Amnesia, because the lyrics sang out to me when I first heard it. And Beside You, which was the first ever song that I heard from them, whose lyrics perfectly matched what I felt about my "long-distance" relationship. This made me curious about this band, because their lyrics were so deep and in tune to my feelings. The second album had songs that literally made me cry. Check out Broken Home and Invisible. Though I wish they sang these two live, it would have connected the audience to them even better.
Anyway, you'd realise (and so would the people standing behind me, if they noticed) that I only video-ed Cal's solos and parts in the songs. That's all I record and then I'll start jumping and singing my heart out, while holding onto the handrails in front of me lest I fall off 'cause I was totally leaning forward hahahaha!
Calum sounded beautiful, dammit! But Luke was too, and Mike, and Ash at the drums all sweaty was damn sexy.
See, I come to a band concert and I only have eyes for their bassist.
That body though, those arms though.
HEART EYES HERE PLZZZ
:3
Here's Ashton with the drums that sexy dude
From End Up Here, Voodoo Doll, Good Girls, Permanent Vacation and What I Like About You, completely ditched my phone and sang along. By then, I realised all that jumping messed up my tudung, LOL. They ended off the night with She's Kinda Hot and She Looks So Perfect. Their iconic jump for SLSP was damn perfect.
At the end of it all, I realised that I had really, thoroughly enjoyed myself, and I couldn't remember when I last had this much fun. My voice had turned hoarse and my throat hurt from all the screaming and shouting. The fact that I was standing throughout, quite forgetting that I always had back pain when I stood for long hours, and didn't even feel anything throughout the entire thing was and felt amazing. That was when I knew that I really had fun.
Thank you 5SOS, you guys were royal gold! Hearts and love for you! :3
Thank you Amielia for the best seats you could get for us. No one better to share this experience with than you.
The messy us post-concert.
My tudung was all over the place and one brooch fell out lol.
So yup, I wanted to blog this while it was still fresh in my mind. I was humming and singing their songs at work the next day, and I was in a very good mood despite little sleep because I was still reeling from the experience.
This was my first ever band concert. A band that I love. I didn't get to watch Westlife, not even Boys Like Girls, or Mayday Parade. But this, is good enough. I hope they come again, because I would go again. I don't care how old I'll be by then but I would still go and watch them again.
Still in a good mood about this. It's a wish come true. I'll probably watch their interviews when I have the time. Hehehe.
Bridesmaid duty next month, pretty excited about it too.
Still, I think 5SOS is the highlight of my 2016. Ditching reality to enjoy their concert never felt so good. Till here, and I really should post about Phuket soon. I hope to travel again this year. Saving up so religiously. :D
Cal baby stop being so sexy
