I have "fallen"

I have always been a fan of Coldplay.  To put it simply ---- They are just good.   
So when they came to our area, nothing was going to hold us back.  I saw that they were heading our way and got online... tried not to think too hard when buying the tickets; I am not used to buying tickets at such prices.  I called Spencer once I bought them and he and I were really excited.  (To be honest I was a little scared that the concert wasn't going to be worth what I paid... I know dumb, but true.)

Then July 19th hit... and it was us and Coldplay, along with some great friends Shannon and Cameron.  To say that the concert was good would be an understatement.  It was amazing.  A night I was truly converted to Chris Martin and his gang.  Nothing could define the filling of watching these men play their "love and talent" for us.  I have really never been one to attend concerts, I don't know why... I just never have.  So maybe this is normal, I hardly think so.  

There were two bands that played before them and they were really not up to par.  Think headache.  Then Coldplay came on... and the rest was bliss.  I stood there listening and in my heart wanting to be a Rock Star like Chris, Spencer admitted that he too (while watching and even after) wanted to be a Rock Star.  

During and especially after there was this euphoric feeling... the closest I would come to having a "high" I would assume.  I came out thinking not so much about the group or really the music, but the impression of what a great and beautiful life I have.  How blessed and what a really sweet day to day life I have.  And my friends, it was a high on life... and if a group... such as this can make someone feel this way then they have my vote.  

It really was a memorable night.  And know that I will be one of the first in line when they come around again,  willing to pay whatever outrageous amount to see them again.  Promise.

I saw them when they came to the shoreline maybe 4 years ago, and it was euphoric. I fell in love again with anyone I had ever cared about- not to mention the ex-boyfriend I attended the concert with! They're coming to Utah in November. I told Jason I don't care if it kills me, but we're going!! I'm so glad to hear that it got a good review from you!
