It went black. The lights were off and I immediately heard the screams of tens of thousands of people. Seconds later the lights were back on and tall, covered in black, stood Twenty One Pilots on the stage. At that exact moment it was as if the deafening sound had grown. But I wasn’t complaining because I was right there with the rest of the crowd, waiting for the music to begin. Tyler Joseph greeted the venue before the first song began.
February fourth was the date of the concert that changed my life. I had received the tickets as a gift from my mom for my fourteenth birthday. When she handed them to me I was at a loss of words.

But before the song began, he said the words that I will never completely forget. “ Before I begin this last song, I have to ask. Do you have one more in you?”, he asked the crowd. We did and that was the loudest noise I think any of us in that venue have ever made. Tyler continued, “ That was good. But one more thing, I want you to look over to the person next to you and give them a hug. Because no matter what you’re all here to support me and Josh. And we are grateful for all of you but I want you all to be grateful for each other. I want you to know that you all have each other to depend on. No matter what you’re going through, no matter what your nationality, race, if you like boys or girls, no matter what. Know that you have Josh and myself and you have each other,” we turned and hugged the person next to us. Some of us were in tears because his words hit so close to home. The song began and for the first time that night, not only were we dancing and singing along with the music, we were dancing and singing along with each other. All in sync. This concert changed my life because I have a new perspective on music and the people that surround it. I learned that we’re all in it
