To start off I need to say thank you. Thank you to not only to the band but the fans. Seriously I have had a lot of fandoms in my life over bands but nothing quite like this one and I think what kept me so attracted to this band was that all of these fans that are now family that met each other in the state we were in. I mean all of us hardcore twenty | one | pilots fans all have a little screw loose somewhere. I mean what can I say, we all seem to be a little schizophrenic but we love what we believe.
The boys have been so much for me. I mean I remember the time when me Tyler and Josh were Facebook friends and I'd message them all day long. And not just about garbage either. They gave good advice and helped me through my problems. So how did I meet my boys?
Well it was a late night and there was this crazy outdoor winter concert I was going to go to and I knew one band on the set list and I didn't want to be that awkward kid going to a festival where I only know one band, so I decided to listen to the first band (usually the least popular) and go down the list familiarizing myself with the music. The first band was twenty | one |pilots. I played the first song I saw by them and it was called 'addict with a pen' and I fell in love. Hard. The words, the music, the message, the character I saw in those boys made me flourish inside. I knew instantly I had a favorite band, for life. I went a solid year listening to twenty | one | pilots a couple hours a day every day and by month six I knew every word to every song.
I went to that concert and a danced so hard. I got there so early just to see an opening band play for
twenty minutes but I loved it. Me and like four other people were those people at a concert that have a party for the opening act and aren't very interested in the headline. Regardless my twitter account turned into a fan girl account pretty much and I grew into this family of fans.
I'm sure I'm not the only one but I stalked every member of the Joseph family. Me and Zach are
tight. I will marry Maddy. And Jay .... Keep doing you. But I mean that's the first chapter to my story of this band and they changed my life. Without them I would not be in the same place I am today and I could say nothing but thank you to the boys, my fan friends, and to God for speaking to me through their music.
Tyler. Josh. Thank you.
