If you haven't heard already, one of my most favorite bands, Fall Out Boy, is off hiatus FINALLY. It's seriously been years.
I first got into them when I was 13 years old, and From Under The Cork Tree had just come out (which is when most people got into them, I know.) I remember falling madly in love with Patrick Stump, (Why did he get married and break my heart?!) while the rest of my friends swooned over Pete, and we all sat and talked about how good they were and how amazing Patrick's voice is.
They went on hiatus when I was 18, and of course I was super sad, as they had become my top favorite band a little less than a year earlier.(Taking over Good Charlotte's place, where they had been since I was 11.) I never got to go to one of their concerts, cos when they came to town when I was 13, my parents wouldn't let me go, nor did I have a job to buy tickets.
So, I was 18, and had a job, and then they went on hiatus and I was devastated. And then came the waiting time in which I eagerly clung onto the hope that they would be back, stalking their twitters and various music blogs to see if there were any rumors of an end. And there were rumors, but they didn't lead to anything and I was just like... :(. I started listening to The Strokes in January 2010 and just tried to accept that Fall Out Boy might never come out with a new album. (Which I failed at, cos even tho they said it might never happen, I knew they would all get together for music again eventually.)
Then all those rumors started last year, and I was excited. It was different from 2010 or 2011 rumors. Actual band guys were saying Fall Out Boy was gonna be back soon. Then the whole festival rumor happened and I was getting anxious and people on tumblr were tagging me in posts about how disappointed people were gonna be when nothing happened. (you can untag me now, cos I was right. ha ha ha, ha ha. HA.) But I held onto hope, and freaked out on twitter the night before they announced they were back, because some music page had said they were back for sure. Yes, I waited till the actual band announced it before I believed it, but still, the fact that so many people were saying "Yes, they're gonna tour soon, they've been writing songs" was exciting and fantastic.
Then on the 4th of February, I woke up early (like 6:30 am early) for no good reason and couldn't get back to sleep, so I got on twitter. And 20 minutes later, Pete, Patrick, Joe, and Andy all tweeted that they were back, and here's a new song, and our albums coming in May, and here's a music video, and here's some tour dates for ya. I cried. I yelled and cried and my sister, who was just waking up for school, flipped me off and shut her door. She's not at all a morning person and she's terrible to deal with or try to talk to. I called my other sister and woke her up to tell her. I texted my mom. I went on all my social media sites (minus this one, I wasn't gonna make a post about this but it's too important.) and went nuts posting lyrics and reblogging or sharing the new song and video. It was the best day I've had in a long time.
Not to mention, my other favorite band, The Strokes, released a new song a few days before, and they have an album coming out soon too and they might tour, which means I need a job pronto. I am asking for Fall Out Boy tickets for my birthday tho, cos they're coming on June 22nd, and my birthday is the 18th. It's been a good music time for me.
Anyway, that's my Fall Out Boy hiatus end story. It's long and pointless but if you like Fall Out Boy and emotions then maybe you would like to read this. Mainly it's just for me to remember how I felt that day and what I did. My mom ended up calling me a few hours later and asking what I meant in my text, cos she forgot that Fall Out Boy is a band. :) ANYWAYYYY have a good one! <33
