Dear *Insert Band Name Here*,

You have been there for me through so much. Depression, break-ups, moving away, and so much more. I have listened to your chords and lyrics through my headphones. You were always there when I needed you and you never failed to put a huge smile on my face no matter how upset I was.

Your impact on my life has been so great. Your words, and the musical world you're surrounded by, has driven me to aspire to walk among you. I dream to one day be able to stand on the side of the stage and rock back and forth to the music, only to be pulled away because something needs fixing somewhere, or to just stare in wonder at a show I could of helped create.

You helped me find my future, my path in life. You also kept me firmly planted to the ground in my present life. Seeing you live for the first, second, even third time made my heart swell. Being surrounded by people who felt the same love and admiration made me feel like I was a part of something.

Your music helped me make my friends. By wearing your merchandise to class and around my town, I found people like me. Plus the countless friends I made standing in line for your concerts and from standing around waiting for you to take the stage. Even going as far as planning matching tattoos with my friends who share my admiration.

So thank you again. Thank you for being you and for sharing your talent with the world. Thank you for being kind. Thank you for being there for me when I thought the entire world was against me. You have become my rock and my solace when life gets tough.

This letter can never do justice to my appreciation and my love for you and your music. Until I find a way to show my true appreciation, I'll just have to keep giving you my money for your music, merchandise, and concert tickets.

Sincerely,

The fan who will always be grateful to you
