I found you & your music through Twenty One Pilots & was immediately drawn in. Your music helped me get through some of the worst seasons of my life (I had been diagnosed w some pretty scary/heavy stuff & it took a MAJOR toll on not just my body but my mind). As I was healing, I used your music as a way to express things I didn't have words for. Then I saw you were extending your Human Condition tour & had a show in my town (no one ever comes to Idaho so it was a BIG deal lol) & IMMEDIATELY went to buy tickets but everywhere was sold out or had crazy high resales - just when I thought there wouldn't be a chance, a local radio station announced a giveaway (for a week) - two tickets & preshow passes. I tried all day every day (so much so, all the DJs knew me by name/number ). I had one day left to try & decided to make a post on IG, tagging the radio station & expressing AGAIN how badly I wanted to go... The week came & went & I didn't win. I was so bummed, so To take my mind off of it, I logged on to IG to doom scroll lol & saw my video gained A LOT of attention - Andy Grammer saw it & jokingly told the station they should help me go to the show - I opened my DMs & saw the station has messaged me. The DJs knew how badly I wanted it & said I had been the only one who tried every day/all week to win , so they held back 2 tickets & 2 preshow passes just in case I didn't win.
The show was absolutely iconic. You played little samples of songs you'd been working on - it felt so surreal to watch your creative process happen in real time, right in front of us (and still desperately want to know if the clips were YOUR songs for GSP or if it was for other artists lol). I really hope I have the opportunity to see you live again, but if I don't, I have some iconic memories to look back on from the 2017 show.
Sorry for typing out a short book lol but when am I ever going to get another opportunity to tell a musical genius that his music made such a profound impact in my life? -- for real though, your music has been so important and therapeutic in my life.. I really hope you know you've made such a beautiful impact on ALL of our lives
