Day 8: Describe your favorite concert.

In these promises broken

Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo”


~~ Linkin Park, “Lost in the Echo”


Pretty much sums up what was happening. I became so enveloped and lost in the echo of the crowd singing and Linkin Park rocking out I was just so gone in a wave of exhilaration and musical intensity. The concert was this year’s (2012) Honda Civic Tour with Incubus at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater. Sooooooo damn good.

Day 7: What has been the craziest thing you have ever done?

So I, I won’t be the one

Be the one to leave this
In pieces”


~~ Linkin Park, “In Pieces”


Pretty much describing that time I did a cartwheel/handstand and shattered my collarbone into a bunch of tiny pieces. Now I have a metal plate in my shoulder with eight screws! Woo!

Day 6: What did you do today?

It’s easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb”


~~ Linkin Park, “Easier to Run”


aka, I went for a run today hahaha

Linkin Park Music day by day challenge

Kinda lost track of time this weekend and forgot to post the days and such for the whatever-day challenge, so I’m gonna be posting 3-4 today! My apologizes if I blow up the feed with a bunch of days, but I’m just trying to play catch-up.

Going to try to spread them out in a few hour intervals.

Day 4: Tell us the “story of your life”.

“When my time comes,
Forget the wrong that I’ve done,
Help me leave behind some,
Reasons to be missed.
And don’t resent me,
And when you’re feeling empty,
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest”


~~Linkin Park, “Leave Out All the Rest”

Day 3: How many times have you been rejected?

Perfect lyrics for this one…

“I’ve given up.
I’m sick of feeling,
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away,
I’m suffocating,
Tell me what the fuck is wrong,
With me”


~~ Linkin Park, “Given Up”

Day 2: Describe Your Best Friend

“Together we made it

We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall

Forever we waited

And they told we were never going to get it”

“We Made It” ~ Linkin Park and Busta Rhymes

Day 1: Describe How You Feel Today

“I need a little room to breathe,

Cause I’m one step closer to the edge

I’m about to break”

“One Step Closer” - Linkin Park

Day 24: “W”

Band: Wolfmother

Song: “Joker and the Theif” - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqqIAy-d8vM&feature=related

Album: Wolfmother

Why:

First heard this song on Rock Band, and was instantly hooked. The opening guitar riff is really damn hard when you first play it, and eventually you kinda sorta get used to it enough to put together a decent streak….sometimes. But anywho, the song always gets me pumped and is always a must-have on my workout playlists when I’m going for a run. Always just gets you in the “zone.”
