ColdplayAlwaysInMyHead

When I saw Coldplay live, it was in Detroit, MI. It was honestly the happiest day of my life. I was there with one of my best friends who happens to love Coldplay just like me. She's normally very shy, but as I glanced at her, I noticed that she had a massive smile on her face, and she was singing along. I think one of my favorite parts of going to this concert was actually the anticipation that we would be going! As we were in the Coldplay traffic before the concert, we rolled down the windows and played "Charlie Brown" as people next to us smiled and waved. As we walked into the stadium, we were given Love pins and Xylobands. At that moment, I knew it was about to happen. We were about to see the most influential band on Earth, in person! We got into our seats, just prior to that we bought shirts and posters, so we could remember this amazing day -see what I did there?- forever. As we were sitting, we listened to Alessia Cara, and started talking about how excited we were. A little boy behind us was talking to his grandmother, telling her how excited he was to be there. As we happily sang along to "Paradise" and "The Scientist", I noticed that everyone here was so different, yet so similar. There were so many different ages and ethnicities, and it made me so happy. We may have all been different on the outside, but we all shared a love for Coldplay. Eventually Coldplay traveled through the crowd to get to their smaller stage in the middle of the audience, where they would sing older songs like "In My Place" and "Shiver". The time had come where they would take the request of a song. It was from a woman named Sarah, who requested "Til Kingdom Come" because it had been sung at her father's funeral. She had been sitting close to the small stage, so they invited her to sit with them. It was beautiful, watching her smile as Coldplay made her night. Eventually the night came to an end, and as we sat in the traffic, we recalled the fun we had. As we got into bed that night, my best friend fell asleep right away, but I put my headphones on and listened to Coldplay until I fell asleep, with my head being full of dreams.
