Fayra Deena Moosdeen ♥: #MPLIVEINKL14

I was feeling overwhelmed by obligations and by all the things I need to do that I have yet to start – the pressure was eating me alive so I decided to take a break by seeing my ultimate favourite band LIVE!

Yes, I realise that taking a break may seem counter-intuitive considering all there is to do but I needed to gain a better perspective and I did manage to see things clearly after being serenaded by MAYDAY PARADE LIVE OMG THEY WERE AMAZING I SWEAR!!!

Mayday Parade has been my favourite for about seven years now and honestly, the never seem to disappoint. I discovered them way back in 2007 during the good ol’ glorious Myspace days – where you get judged based on how you customize your profile – and I have to admit that it was love at first listen. *bats eyelashes*

It was hard to believe at first when Adam told me they were coming down for a show in KL. I literally jumped and thought to myself that my spams were finally heard! I begged my parents to grant me their permission to go for the concert but they never gave me a solid answer and they didn't seem to understand just how much this band means to me – and boy was it frustrating. I must say that I’m definitely not a concert go-er and how I don’t really fancy going to one but this was Mayday Parade. Come on, they are my only favourite. It would hurt to get very close to something you really want only to have it slip right through your fingers and I couldn't let that happen. I honestly couldn't care less missing out on music festivals, other concerts and whatnot but this was truly an exception.

The magnitude of desire that I have for this band is just indescribable. Everyone knows that I am the worst person to be romantic with, how terrible I am with words and how I suck at expressing my feelings but since I first listened to their music something just clicked. Mayday Parade’s lyrics put thoughts and feelings that we all identify with so eloquently and their music has supported me through all my ups and downs especially during my teenage years.

Anyway, it was seriously the best concert of my life. Not only was the show absolutely amazing, but the band is so fantastic and humbling. Mayday Parade came up next after three local bands and brought the house down. The energy they brought when they came to the stage was just incredible and I love how excellent the interaction they had with the crowd. Derek has the silkiest hair and the sweetest smile – I melted and turned into mush.

Despite the mosh pits and incredibly sweaty, stinky blokes, the venue was decent and it wasn't overly crowded which was great. Everyone in the stadium belted out the words to every single song they sung from the beginning to the very end of their rather lenghty set. I couldn't hear anything afterwards but it was definitely worth it. Mayday Parade is just so much more than a band. Behind the music, they are such amazing people. So much love for them. Still spazzing hehe.
