How did you become a Pilot? What is it that hooked you? What has their music taught you? Anything! This site is meant to be a place for Pilots to gather and encourage others through their creations... through their stories - Let other know that they're not alone in their struggles. You can share lyrics that touch you, that make you think, that break you down. You can send in pictures or creations of the guys that you've done or taken during a concert. Anything!
I became a pilot about 6 months before their first headline show in Seattle( which took place 11/5/13) I was sitting in the back of the car while my older brother was driving the family out to dinner and he had his music playlist on, and right before we got on to the freeway this beautiful song began to play and I remember asking my brother who it was singing, and he told me that he didn't know. So me being me, I quickly pulled out my phone and went on to the shazam app and figured it out that this incredible band was in fact, Twenty-one Pilots. Instantly my new favorite band. I asked my brother to turn it up, I unrolled my window and instantly life became better. Fast forwarding to November I went to their concert, here is the story about my experience with that; After it was over I waited at least two hours in our cold Seattle weather to be able to meet them but let me tell you it was so worth it. Anyways when it was my turn to talk to them, I told them that I suffer from depression and I thanked them for their music to keep me going because it's truly amazing.. Anyways I kinda heard Tyler give a sad sigh, and he grabbed both of my hands and told me thank you, for using music as an escape and told me to keep going and not give up. And Josh although didn't say a word, his face let me know that he cared about me and that was wonderful. I am just so overly thankful for the chance to even tell them thank you. I really can't shake the feeling of having people that you admire so much, that have a million things to do, and having leave to get to the next town to preform again, taking time to stop and tell you to keep going just makes me cry every time, tears of happiness and humbleness of course. During the concert half way through one of their songs during the instrumental part Tyler pulled his head away from the microphone and you could see him say to himself "I love you guys so much" and then he smiled and kinda shook his head, and went on.. I know it's silly to even bring it up, but it was just a beautiful thing to see that, it just reminds you how humble Tyler and Josh are, as well as a reminder that there is still good in the world. Both of them are amazing performers. You know how most artists just forget about the audience and are like "whatever", The boys would stop and would tell us stories, answer questions, make us laugh, and would go out into the audience(with the drum kit I might add, that was epic). It's hard to explain how truly amazing it was but oh my god. They are just so wonderful. Tyler told us that most concerts just have a performer to sing their songs and that would be that, but what made their concert so special was that Tyler told us that there was a point to it, that that he wasn't going to say what it was but that we would find it together. I found the point, and for me that point was to stay alive. He then told us to close out eyes for one of the songs so he could take us to a better place. He succeeded at that. Twenty-one Pilots are something special. Do not underestimate them. Great music. Great people. Life savers. Thank you for letting me post my story. Much Love, Maddie.
