Here's my pilot story It all started last year when I was watching Fuse the network, I was watching the music countdown and the favorite video graphic flashed across the screen. Immediately following was a black and white video with a white boy rapping. I knew that this wasn't uncommon with more and more white people starting to rap but it all sounded the same hoes, drinking, getting sex, and money all materialistic things that have no depth or deeper meaning to them; as I continued to listen I was paralyzed but the lyrics of the boy rapping and singing I remember thinking wow! This kid is rapping about the truth how he was gonna change himself, what goes in peoples head, and how rap lyrics today are shallow and have no depth to them. It was great I recorded the video and listened to the song everyday each time with the same mind blown feeling that someone in this world would be so honest and tell the truth. I'd scream the lyrics throughout my room and try to emulate the drum player. I soon looked them up on YouTube and found out the were under the fueled by ramen label it was a pleasant surprise I had just gotten into fun. and I felt like I had found a place to come to when I needed to find music artists. After coming to this realization that FBR was an awesome label, I started looking into their songs and that their names were Tyler and Josh. I saw the video for Guns for Hands and again was left feeling like someone had knocked the wind out of me, I had never had this reaction to music before I knew right then I'd always be more than a fan of twenty one pilots I felt like I was apart of them because Tyler made it so clear that he was just another human going through the trials and tribulations we all go through on this mortal plane of existence. I started to download their tracks from YouTube videos and would just listen really listen to the message, the music, the highs and lows the meanings behind the meanings finding meaning and purpose in their words it was an experience that I'm not sure will ever happen again.
I was also in a dark place when I first heard them they were my saviors. Going through another rough point for a week I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it I would think about lying down in the middle of the road and letting the cars run me over. I wouldn't have made it if I didn't have Twenty One Pilots in my ears. I want to thank everyone in Ohio, Fueled by Ramen records, the Twenty One Pilots crew, and fans thank you for everything you've done. Without the music I'd be six feet under right now.Thank for making mire than music, you've made something that transcends music that has drawn so many people from different countries, ages groups, and walks of life together it's truly amazing.
