Panic At The Disco
I so faithfully hope and prayed to catch their own full-fledged performance since the day I lend my ears to them. The closest I ever got to was a short list up for SingFest08. I remembered screaming every word out loud as a proud fan in the midst of the crowd. I remembered being moved to tears, finding it hard to believe PATD was actually right before my very eyes. I remembered running to from Genting to Singapore alone on my own, to see them two days in a row. The closest I ever got, was to stand with the boys in the band, feeling every inch of my veins pumping fast. The closest I ever got, was sit in a press interview with them. The closest I ever got, was all that of Panic, until all that dream shattered yesterday night.
I practically couldn't contain all that I saw, much less swallow the fact and tell myself to believe that PATD were breaking up for good. Not one, but two members. The one band that I followed so closely and faithfully, I swear I know the lyrics to every single song off my head, watching them perform over and over again. PATD were a brand new concept to the music industry from presentation to style and substance. They were the ones who made me see new hope in Alternative Rock. There's really no other band out there like Panic. And it wouldn't be the same anymore without Ryan and Jon. Despite having B'den and Spencer carrying on the line, that would seem almost pretty odd.
This must be the saddest piece of news for me, that hit me hard enough to kill the atmosphere for me all week. I can't stop believing. I'll always remember that the band that I love lived long enough to put traces of evidence behind for me to look back at the good times, and for the world to acknowledge their music. Thank you for the consolation, you guys are right. I've gotten almost as far as any other massive fan would at this point in time. I have no regrets, yet, I hope if it does happen that PATD reunites some day, be it a decade later and set their "creative differences" aside, we would all be happy again. And I'll always remember.
