I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...
Their music is so calming and easy to relate to. When you have problems or a death in the family you can just pop in their cd and you feel better in an instant. The music is always so much better than the other songs you hear these days though a lot of people complain that it is about love....guess they forget that most people are thinking about love these days...>> Well, another reason is because I have been with them from the beginning....I still remember how I tried to steal one of the cds since my family couldn't afford extra things like that...was very poor...was on welfare and all...but I would watch their music videos on the school computers heh heh...I really liked their music...the first cd I got was their millenium cd in a foster home...through all of the nine years of foster care their music helped me to get by when I felt alone.....the problems that AJ had reminded me a lot of mine when thinking of my grampa....and now, Howie's loss is similar to my own....
I have so many reasons why I am a fan....I will not say why others should be because of the fact that everyone has their own taste in music, to force another to listen to what one does not like is being like a bible thumper with wiccans....I hate it when people force things on me so why would I force things on others? hehe....that is how I see it at least.
This band has helped to inspire me to sing though, the lost of my aunt has seemed to have made me lose that inspiration at the moment. Sometimes, I wish that I could turn back time....or go forward and find a cure for Lupus and then come back to the present and heal my aunt....I miss her so much and it hasn't even been a week since she has passed on....I just want her back...but the music helps me to feel better to feel that I am not alone.
