    I met this dude in Charlottesville VA and spoke to him backstage after one of his show's by himself and asked him rather challenged him "Dude you got all these girls screaming for you how are you not owning that and getting that?" He simply said and responded by saying " I got a girl back home." And the way he countered me in my drunkin state with a stare and a level of seriousness I sobered up quickly and changed the subject. I won't forget that moment because it reminded me of what is ment by sincerity and integrity something that I feel has been missing in artists.

I was in high school and they were my favorite band so a total dream come true. They even brought us on the stage when the show was over and we just happened to meet them before the show.

    Time shakes, found you at the water
    At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
    Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
    This world at times will blind you
    Still I know I'll see you there
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Come on, come on, come on
    Things aren't always what they seem to be
    Come on, come on, come on
    Do you understand the things that you've been seeing?
    Come on, come on, come on
    Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming?
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders
    Will we burn on or just smolder?
    Somehow I know I'll find you there
    Ooh, you wanna see if you can change it, change it
    Still I know I'll see you there
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Come on, come on, come on
    Things aren't always what they seem to be
    Do you understand the things that you've been seeing?
    Come on, come on, come on
    Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming?
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Ten thousand people stand alone now
    And in the evening the sun sank
    Tomorrow it will rise
    "Time flies by, " they all sang along
    "Time flies by, " they all sang along
    "Time flies by, " they all sang along
    "Time flies by by"
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Come on, come on, come on
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
    Come a little closer, then you'll see
