Motorcycle Drive By

So I went down to Stonehill University to see Absentstar and Third Eye Blind Friday night. The whole experience and atmosphere of smaller venue concerts like that are something that I can never tire of. It was just so energetic and passionate that it blew my mind. The reason I've decided to write this blog is because of a song that Third Eye Blind performed. That song is "Motorcycle Drive By". I had always enjoyed the song before, but just hearing them play it live and feeling the emotion of Stephan Jenkins and the crew along with the crowd singing along... It just made me so...I don't even know how to explain it. It has always been a song that I've thrown on when I feel down. Now after hearing and seeing it live, the song has taken on new life. It was just so amazing to hear all the people sing "I've never been so alone, I've never been so alive" with the guys. They introduced the song by saying that it was about stealing the orange cones off the side of the road...To me it means so much more though...

Here's a recording of the song from a different show, but it captures the same raw emotion and passion I mentioned.




Here's a video of Semi Charmed Life from the actual concert I went to, so you can get a feel of the "intimate" setting...
