And apart from having the most fun ive had all summer, though now i have little to no voice, and i can hardly walk cause my legs are so sore, i wanna tell you guys something about it. So theres this band that i LOVE and went to see. They are called Story of The Year. And they have a song, called "Is This My Fate?" He Asked Them. This song is about homophobia. Its a really angry song, compared to other songs about homophobia, which are sad. But SOTY are a naturally angry band, so in not surprised. Well the thing is, when they played it, I kind of lost it. Not in a bad way. By lsot it i mean i lost my actual sense of self and let the music kind of control me, which happens to me at shows all the time cause im such a music geek. Anyway, it was like, i was screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs, not even noticing that i was all but spitting up blood from it, and i was jumping and punching my fist in the air...While tears streamed down my face. It was that heartfelt performance that reminded me why i hate homophobia so much. Usually i dont think about it, but that song...man its so powerful. I'll post the lyrics, cause im sure some of you wont like that type of music. Here they are :] Do you really fucking think that it's a choice, a way of life played by discrimination? you're narrow-minded, quick to judge with bible belt tunnel vision This is ignorance failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that this is where we fall failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that this is where we fall where we fall "Is this my fate!?" he asked them they answered, condemning him to burn rejected, forsaken, for being fucking born I can't believe that this is still a question that needs an answer a bigot's eyes judging lives based on the sex of who you fuck This is ignorance failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that this is where we fall failure to evolve is failure to us all when will you learn that is where we fall where we fall Burn (burn), burn (burn) judged and condemned to burn (burn), burn (burn) judged and condemned to burn When will you learn? will you learn? when will you learn?
They were so good! I just went to the tour in Virginia! Ah it was amazing! Did you get to see the Japanese band. I could barely understand what they were saying. It was cute though! I was very disappointed however by Katy Perry. Her performance was not that great! And gosh darn I love her music too. Was she that bad when you went?
I didnt see that Jap band, i was off somewhere else when they played. & I was watching Alesana when Katy Perry was on, so i have no clue
i went to warped tour. it was AWSOME. i didnt spit up blood tho, but a bunch of people were bleeding from being kicked in the face from the crown surfers :eek:
I sooo can't wait to see them in Warped Tour in Aug. 15 And I also love love love that song. First time I heard it, I almost cried...
This is for 'MusicIsMyLife'.. Did Story of the Year play 'Anthem of our Dying Day'? I would assume that they would, being that it's there debut song.. but I checked on YouTube and couldn't find any performances of that song. Usually you can search any artist @ warped and see what songs they played and nothing came up for that song. I absolutely love it, and would be kind of dissapointed if they didn't play it.
I'm also thinking about going to Warped on August 15th- the theater they're performing in is like 15 minutes away, lol. Anyway, I think I'll go hear that song on Youtube if I can find it- it sounds good... and it seems you had a really intense experience. :]
This is the video I watched when I first heard it (it's not alive music). The video is really sad [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=eT2KmuLvauE&feature=related[/youtube] ooo, I might see you there. And yeah, Warped Tour's hella close to where I live (maybe 30 min )
they didnt. from what i remember off page avenue they only played until the day i die and In The Shadows.
