On April 28, 2012, Vertical Horizon and Live’s Ed Kowalczyk will
perform in Manila at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
When
I read about this, I gasped! Wow! My favorite alternative rock artists will
hold a concert here! Then, I went over my monthly finances and groaned. I
couldn’t possibly afford another concert ticket this month. So, I surfed the
net looking for promos (I know, I’m cheap hahaha). And I found one: Philippine
Concerts is holding a Choose your Concert Promo for April 2012. Winner
will get two tickets to the concert. All one has to do is blog about the concert.
To
be qualified, however, the blog post should answer
these questions:
Why do you want to watch the
concert?
Well,
because these two are my favorite alternative rock artists. I love their songs.
Just the thought of seeing them perform their greatest hits gets me all excited.
What is your favourite song from
the chosen artist?
For
Vertical Horizon, my favorite is Best I Ever Had.
Why did you choose that song?
Well,
because it’s a love song. LOL. And although I am not that young anymore, I’m
still a sucker for romance (hahaha). Seriously, the song has this relaxing,
even soothing tone, even though it talks about a failed relationship, about the
pain of losing someone, of letting go, and moving on.
I
just hope that Ed Kowalczyk (former lead vocalist of Live) will sing some of
the greatest hits of Live. I would love to hear these songs – Selling the
Drama, I Alone, Lightning Crashes, Dolphin’s Cry, and Run to the Water. Some of
Live’s songs have abstract lyrics and are thus open to different
interpretations. Selling the Drama, I think,
is about choices and beliefs while Lightning Crashes deals with the
transference of life.
I
also hope to hear the latest songs from their most recent albums. Vertical
Horizon released their “Burning the Days” album in late 2009. Ed Kowalczyk has
a solo album.
So,
there! I hope I get lucky J

Wow! This would be an awesome concert!!! I, too, am a fan of these two artists. I love Best I Ever Had. It's about getting over someone. It talks about the painful stages we have to go through. Sometimes, we pretend not to care, but deep inside, we still do. Oh, well.It's funny how we sometimes try to delude ourselves :)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, I love Ed Kowalczyk's voice. And I love Live's songs. It's sad that Ed left the band :( Lightning Crashes is an awesome song!!!
