Journal 01.1

I am a person who addicted to music very much. And of course I love to go to live concert. For me, watching live is the commonest activity that I would choose when I am free, since some live show not only make me feel relaxing but also very exciting. Except of beautiful melody, sometime I even can get energy from the passion of audience and the excellent performances of musicians. Thus, I want to talk about live concerts that I watched recently.
The first show was the debut of “Sugarpill”. The leader of Sugarpill was my good friend “Po”. He was a talented boy! He set up the band, became the leader, composed every song and even in charge of lyrics and singing parts. Since last year, Po never stop creating songs to make his band became stronger. They first won the first prize of Golden Melody award in National Chengchi University. Then, Po and his band participated in a music contest hold by The Wall, a famous live house, in order to gain the opportunity to perform in The Wall. Soon, they held their debut on 16th night. Since they were just a brand new band, we fans can only heard demo versions of their songs. Therefore, I felt extremely exciting before the show. Out of surprise, their music is very mature. There were no signs to show the all band members were merely twenty years old. The only disadvantage was that the sound of mics were too small. Sometimes I can barely hear Po’s voice. What a pity!
During the show, I especially love two songs, one is “Eleanor” and the other song is called “The Way You Deceive Me”. According to Po, Eleanor was the name of his first girlfriend. Hence, his wanted to make Eleanor as beautiful as his first love. I like the last two lines “We were waiting for the train also the dream we had; we were waiting for the rain also the dream we had traced.” Every time I listen to these two lines, I can tell how deep his missed the memory of his first love. As for the other song, I just love the melody. Po’s melody always made me feel comfortable and warm. As a result, whenever he sent me a new demo, I would keep listening to that particular song for a whole night. No Kidding!
