Her Name Is LIGHTS

I usually don't obsess over things, quite like I did over her. Lights is a synth pop/acoustic musician. She plays the keyboard, electric and acoustic guitar, a keytar and her killer vocals. You either love, or hate her music. It's not your typical radio junk. It has it's own rhythm, and puts you in a fantasy world for the most part. She doesn't sing about lovey dovey stuff, or the typical "girl pop" music. She's a hardcore gamer, and most of her music shows that. Lights is in love with Superwoman, and stands for being a strong independent lady. Now, the first time I heard Lights was way back when when MySpace was popular. Since then, I was hooked. I'm said to look somewhat like her, but I think it's just the hair. Either way, I love her. I went to her concert November 6th, with my bro, and met up with some more diehard Lights fans. I have been to quite a few concerts, some big, some small, but this one outshines all of them. We stood as close to the stage as possible. The eagle Theater isn't that big, so it was easier to get close. She sure knows how to put on a show. Ironically, the lighting was amazing. She is so musically talented, and really connected with the audience. Each song was well done, and sounded so much better live, then on the CD. Our goal was to meet her. It didn't matter what it would take, we were going to meet her. So, right after her amazing finale, we went out to her bus, and stood in the freezing cold, along with about a hundred others. We decided to suck up to the head security guard, and we won ourselves the front of the line. I guess it pays off to be nice.

When she came out, I seriously was the most excited person on earth. These were the exact words I said, "Hey, can you sign this? I'm actually from Canada too!" Lights- "Oh really? Where in?" Me- "Toronto" Lights- "Cool! So now you live here?" Me- "Yup, and I love you." She smiled, and we took our picture, as my friends yelled "twins!" We both looked at each other in the eyes, I could tell she wanted to see if I really looked like her. It was funny. I thought my life was complete, UNTIL the worst thing possible could have happened. My camera hadn't taken the picture because the battery ran out. So, all the girls I was with got a picture, as for me, NO! I was about to cry, when my awesome brother said we'd wait in line again. So I did. I told her my battery died, she laughed said we're awesome, and snap, problem solved. I couldn't have asked for a better day. I feel so lame for typing this, but I honestly will never forget this night, and I recommend you to go to one of her shows. She shines! <3
