Superchick/BarlowGirl

It's been a while since I blogged.

Wednesday was the best day I've had in a while. Why? Well, my friend and I got to meet Superchick and BarlowGirl, two very popular Christian bands. First off, they seemed like very nice people in their Q&A, very down to earth. The concert was held at FBC, Decatur. Huge church, and the perfect size for this concert. Superchick was up first, and man, can they rock out! Wow! I couldn't believe how good they are in concert. They sang some really great songs. One of them is Hold, that has the best message besides Crawl (Carry Me Through); lyrics to Hold are below:

Tell me that it's gonna be okay
Tell me that You'll help me find my way
Tell me You can see the light of dawn is breaking
Tell me that it's gonna be alright
Tell me that You'll help me fight this fight
Tell me that You won't leave me alone in this

'Cause I need, I need a hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding over slow'
Cause I need, I need Your hand to hold
To hold me from the edge
The edge I'm sliding past Hold on to me

Tell me I can make it through this day
I don't even have the words to pray
You have been the only One who never left me
Help me find the way through all my fears
Help me see the light through all my tears
Help me see that I am not alone in this.

That song still speaks to me because that is how I was feeling up until last night. But Superchick has a fantastic sound and I'm loving their cd, "Rock What You Got."

Next up, BarlowGirl: I told my friend, "oh, they won't get too wild." Haha, I lied. They really shocked me! Lauren Barlow can play those drums and sing. They sang some great songs as well (and I got to get both groups autographs after the concert); they are adorable and beautiful women who I'm proud to be a fan of and support. I'd love to get to sit down with them and talk with them because they seem like the kind of people you just want to be around. They sang a mix of old(er) and new songs, including this gem, Stay with Me and Beautiful Ending:

Hope is getting though this night
And life is not dying in this fight
Begging you to deliver me
Confused why you won't take this pain from me

PRE-CHORUS
My steps never felt so hard
The end never looked so far
But if you won't take me out then please take me through this

CHORUS
Stay with me
So I wont leave
And make me see
That this is not forever
Cause all I need is your love
Pulling me

What is the reason for this night
Is hope found in moments with no light
Does strength grow in our greatest fears
God I pray something good will come from this pain
With you here I know
I don't go alone
I am yours and so
Through the fire I go....

PRE-CHORUS
Stay with me
So I wont leave
And make me see
That this is not forever

CHORUS

I'd post the lyrics to Beautiful Ending, but Blogger doesn't like to copy and paste. Pooh. Anyways, I had an awesome time at the concert and would love to see both groups again!
