closer

i'm watching bootlegs from the seattle show. closer... trent looks really into it. now, that has got to be fake. that has GOT to be fake. i've seen the band 20 times and i'm pretty much sick of that song. i'm sick of how the crowd suddenly gets a million times more obnoxious the second they realize the song is on. and i mean, trent's performed that song like, twenty billion times. how could he NOT be sick of it?!

on the flipside, i wonder what it's like for that guy, justin meldal-johnson (i think) to play an iconic song like closer to a bunch of really excited fans? that's got to be exciting. he totally heard that song on the radio a bunch of times and never thought he'd actually one day be playing it.

k bye, that's it.

i feel like he's like on contract with his fans to do that song. because how many hardcore fans can there really be at each show. so all the non-hardcore fans are totally there to hear closer, or they're friends took them and were like "you know that song you like of theirs, closer?" to get them to go.

i'm glad that he mixed it up last time with the remix at the end where he didn't know the words. it made the song fun; i totally still expect it whenever i hear the song. i don't know if i would notice though if i didn't hear closer. it kind of blends in for me sometimes because i've heard it so much.

see, i brace myself for it because of the inevitable crush that comes with the territory.
