Lovely Lifehouse

Yesterday I booked tickets to see Lifehouse in London in October. They are my FAVOURITE band. I mean, I don't usually pick favourites for things like that (like books, films, etc), but really, its true, Lifehouse are my favourite.

They haven't been to England on tour for like 8 years, I know this because last time they were here me and my friend tried to decide if it was worth running away from home to london to see them. We were 15, so a trip to London by ourselves was not a good idea. Ever since then I have waited patiently, and soon my waiting is over.

Words cannot express how excited I am to see them.

For those of you in the world that do not know who Lifehouse are, shame on you! They are a band, who play songs, lovely songs. Their lead singer has a wonderful low, slightly scratchy, kind of mellow lovely voice. I could listen to him sing always. Plus he writes these amazing beautiful songs. "Everything" is a true love song I think, as is "Breathing". "Broken" I find surprisingly uplifting, even though its a bit depressing at the same time. And "Storm" is lovely and depressing (which is a little bit of an oxymoron, but I don't care).

When their new album was due out last year, I listened to the first single streaming on repeat via their website for days. I am still not sick of it. I don't think I've ever been sick of them.

Now I have to save up for a T-shirt, because I imagine, like my John Mayer at Royal Albert Hall T-shirt, I will sleep much better wearing a Lifehouse t-shirt.

In other news, my exhibition has finished, and I am exhausted, but it went well. Next is some more workshops, then a bit of a break before University again. I am looking forward to being a student again (although I do have to skip one of the first few days for Lifehouse, they are definitely worth it).
