crazy beautiful life.

I found another song entitled Crazy Beautiful Life...

these lyrics... <3

I’m not perfect
Not a Barbie
Not a rock star, I come with insecurities
You can hate me, but it won’t phase me
Or change who I am

Not made of plastic
My heart’s elastic
You can never break my smile
Not here to impress you, I shouldn’t be an issue
It isn’t worthwhile

You can judge, but you don’t know me
You’ll look insane when no one’s listening

Cause in this crazy beautiful life
I found a way to hold onto my pride
Not let anyone ever bring me down
Cause in this crazy beautiful life
I found a way to hold onto my pride
Not let anyone
Not anyone
Bring me down

Got a problem?
Say it to my face
If you don’t like it, then you’re a fake
Never ending, drowning in your lies
Oh, what a shame

You can judge, but you don’t know me
You’ll look insane when no one’s listening

Cause in this crazy beautiful life
I found a way to hold onto my pride
Not let anyone ever bring me down
Cause in this crazy beautiful life
I found a way to hold onto my pride
Not let anyone
Not anyone

No
And you had me wrapped around your finger, but I broke free
I’m not always an angle
I’m just me

Cause in this crazy beautiful life
I found a way to hold onto my pride
Not let anyone ever bring me down
Cause in this crazy beautiful life
I found a way to hold onto my pride
Not let anyone
Not anyone
Bring me down

I found something that perfectly describes my life.

I am going to frame this and hang it in my room.

name change.

crazy beautiful life. 

inspired by the Ke$ha song.

my life.

ready for a change. 

Why?

because  I don't think my life is a mess anymore.

just crazy & beautiful.

so beautiful. 

keep breathing.

The storm is coming but I don't mind
People are dying, I close my blinds
All that I know is I'm breathing now

I want to change the world, instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me

But all that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now
Now, now, now

stupid boy.

Listen to this.

Then listen to the full version.

Then cry.

Then fall in love with it.

Then listen to in 1 million more times.

Stupid Boy by Cassadee Pope on the Voice.

and it is #1 on itunes right now...

i won't give up.

this is a beautiful arrangement of this song. 

gah.

<3 

a beautiful mess.

I Almost Do.

I bet this time of night you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week
I bet you’re sitting in your chair by the window, looking out at the city
And I bet sometimes you wonder about me

And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Everytime I don’t,
I almost do, I almost do

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you
‘Cause each time you reach out there’s no reply
I bet it never, ever occurred to you that I can’t say hello to you
And risk another goodbye

And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Everytime I don’t,
I almost do, I almost do

We made quite a mess, babe
It’s probably better off this way
And I confess, babe
That in my dreams you’re touching my face
And asking me if I want to try again with you
And I almost do

And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Everytime I don’t,
I almost do, I almost do

I bet this time of night you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week
I bet you’re sitting in your chair by the window, looking out at the city
And I hope sometimes you wonder about me

This song cuts me deep. :'( 

Concert lovin'

When you live in Idaho, it's really hard to find concerts in which you actually wish to attend. But every once in a (very little) while, we get the chance to travel a short distance and enjoy some fantasticly amazing music. Monday night my favorite band Imagine Dragons had a show in Boise! And I went! It was my first ever real concert, and it was seriously the best!

There was actually 3 other bands that night: B.B. Gun, Zeale, and AWOLNATION. Although AWOL was the "most popular" band to play that night, they weren't for me. 

I was seriously like four people away from the stage. . . which was a big deal. The first band, B.B. Gun came on stage and I was indifferent. They were good, but not great. However, the band members were H-O-T.

After them, Zeale started setting up. And let me tell you, I was scared! They were wearing masks, and setting up techy stuff (not really my type of music). But when the music started, I LOVED IT! The front man was a rapper. A REALLY good rapper! I loved every one of their songs, and wanted to hear much more.

THEN IT WAS TIME FOR IMAGINE DRAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, they were fantastic. 

Every single song.

I sang along so loud and so terrible (sorry innocent concert watchers)

The front man was just banging on some awesome drums (bass & snare) as he was singing, throwing so much passion into every beat. It was magic. I can't even tell you how amazing they were.

When they performed Radioactive, I just wanted to cry. It was amazing. But then after the song was over, Dan Reynolds (lead singer) just started crying and hugging his band mates. It was so emotional and amazing. Every single one of the songs they played was just amazing!!!! 

Here is the best part!!! My friend Todd, whom I took with me to the concert, CAUGHT THE DRUMMER'S DRUM STICK!!!!! WHAT!!!! Yes, real life right there. And he is going to saw it in half so I can have it too! AHHH!

After they were done, my friends and I went to the back of the concert house and met them. . . which is where all of these pictures came from! 

Finally AWOLNATION came on! And they were really good! I didn't know like ANY of their songs, but it was really fun to watch them do what they love, and watch the crowd go crazy. There was a ton of crowd surfing and head banging. Nothing wrong with that:)

Easily one of the best nights of my life. 

P.S. Check out all of these bands, they are great!
