Glad You Came

When I was living in Tennessee, a friend introduced me to a British boyband called The Wanted. He was so excited when he saw them on the jukebox at a bar, and was anxious to share them with America. The first song I heard was "Glad You Came" and I wasn't really into it. I wrote them off for a while as not my cup of tea, but then I heard their single "All Time Low".

This is the song that won me over. From that point on, I was a fan. I moved to Texas, and they came close to me with Carly Rae Jepson (Call Me Maybe) last summer. I wasn't going to make the drive to see them by myself, and I'm not really into her, so I decided to be patient and wait for them to come back. I was confident that they would come back. I slowly introduced this group to my best friend and she fell in love. We anxiously awaited their third album and a tour that would go along with it. 

In October, we purchased tickets to see them in May. They were coming the day after our busy sports season ended, so we felt it was fate. Then, the blow came that the group was taking a hiatus. Our hearts fell, and we were convinced that the show would be canceled. Almost daily we would check their website, the venue's website, and any sites we could find to confirm that the show was still on. The show did happen, and May 5, 2014, will be day that will stay "Gold Forever". Seeing a group that we may never see live again with your best friend makes for some awesome memories.

 This day was awesome, and I know that our summer of live music will only continue to get better. I'm very glad that I gave these guys another listen. So while they spent the end of the show thanking the fans, to that I have one response. Jay, Max, Nathan Siva, Tom, thank you, I'm glad you came.

Adios, boys. It was a blast!
