I posted this when they came to the Philippines last 2012. I don't know how I knew they'd be back this year. Yes, it was so amazing. It still feels surreal.
From catching up with old friends to meeting new friends to fulfilling a dream to singing my heart out to running in the rain to sitting on the airport floor at the end of it all, October 8 was definitely one for the books. So, so blessed and so overwhelmed.
I felt like I was half-awake and half-dreaming the whole time. I wanted to freeze every minute and commit every detail to memory. There were moments when I would close my eyes, stop singing along, and just listen to that beautiful voice that has comforted me many, many times.
Forever crush Jason Wade was smiling at me!
Or maybe I'm deluding myself but whatever. :p
I've been waiting for this for so long.
I've loved Lifehouse since No Name Face, but it was around three years ago that their songs took on a different depth for me. I fell deeper in love.
And if I were to sing one last song at the end of my life, it would be "Everything." It's amazing how this song effortlessly captures who I am, who and where I want to be, who and what I live for.

How can I stand here with You,
and not be moved by You?
Would you tell me
how could it be any better than this?
I've been posting my request for a full version of "Everything" on their social media accounts, so I was a bit saddened that it didn't happen. They did try to make it up with an electric ending, and I appreciate that. I guess that just gives me an excuse to watch their next concert.LOL
It's been a week and I still can't move on. I keep reminiscing how magical everything was. They sounded just like they do on record, which--in this autotune culture--is a beautiful, beautiful thing. That's one of the best things about Lifehouse: what you see is what you get. No frills, no dramas, no gimmicks. Just raw awesomeness. And I know this was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but to be honest, I can't wait to see them live again.
And the feeling just might be mutual.
Found myself between Jason and Ricky. :D
