Boys Don’t Cry
Last night we played at Bethany University. We decided we would do a few covers for fun tonight. It was our last show for the semester, and we just added Kelley Weeks to the band this week, so we wanted to debut her before school got out. After hours of deliberation actually like 2 minutes, we decided to play Friday by Rebecca Black, and a Cure song. We couldn’t determine which one though. Jeremy and I wanted Boys Don’t Cry because it’s our favorite, so we went with that one. I wouldn’t know how Ironic my decision was until a few hours later. Our sound check didn’t go as great as I would have hoped, but as they say the show must go on, and trust me it did. There were about 200 at the show, and we wanted to do Boys Don’t Cry first. Halfway through the song my computer fell off the music stand and almost broke. Unfortunately I didn’t know the words by heart so that is why I needed the computer. So while everyone played I made up some words while I picked up the computer and got the words back up. The crowd clapped and cheered, but man was it embarrassing. Then we finished our set with Friday a fan favorite at BU. But once again I forgot the words in the chorus. I focused so much on the verses that I forgot a few lines in the Chorus. They cheered and seemed to have enjoyed themselves. But I had just felt that I didn’t do my best, and let the band down. It was ironic because just like the song, I tried to laugh about it cover it all up with lies. I tried to laugh about it hiding the tears in my eyes, cause boys don’t cry.
