My Experience At A 5SOS Concert

Sounds Live Feels like a great time.

My Experience At A 5SOS Concert

One of my favorite bands of all time is 5 Seconds of Summer, and this year would be the third time I've seen them. I recently saw them on their Sounds Live Feels Live (SLFL) tour, at Tinley Park in Chicago. Let me just start by saying, out of all the times I've seen them, they've never put on a bad show.

Upon arrival to the venue, we had no idea where our seats would be. Due to a mishap at last year's concert, I had seats in will call. That was where we found out we had VIP seats. So, extremely excited as we were, we made our way to our seats and then half an hour later the show began.

The first band was Hey Violet. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of them. However, they seemed to have a pretty decent fan base at the concert which was cool. Unfortunately they opened up for them last year, so it was (sort of) a letdown that they had one of the same opening acts. Hey Violet did play a new song of theirs called "Brand New Moves" which was actually really good.

The next band that played was One Ok Rock. I had never heard of them before this show, and I was pleasantly surprised. I still don't know any of their songs, but I'm actually willing to learn them. I think this band was a wonderful choice as a second opening act.

Finally, it was time for them to come out. The lights went down and everyone, and I mean everyone, started screaming. You couldn't hear the person next to you. About halfway through the concert, Michael stood on stage and took out his in-ears. He listened to everyone screaming and was just amazed by it. I swear, nothing in my life has ever been louder.

At the end of the concert, they began to play a song that they never play in concert, and I mean never. Once they started playing it, the entire crowd went wild and everyone knew the lyrics by heart (including me).

Went the concert ended, they came out for an encore. Actually, two encores. It was amazing. The moment when you leave the concert, your ears still ringing, is truly the best moment. If you've never seen 5 Seconds of Summer live, then I seriously suggest seeing them!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
