What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
“Candle (Sick and Tired)”.

What is your favorite song of 8?
“Life On the Moon”.

What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
A pretty good one, I guess.  Going to their shows and seeing them live has resulted in some of the best times of my life. 

What are your favorite lyrics of 5?
“Let go of the fear, let go of the doubt.  Let go of the ones who try to put you down.  You’re gonna be fine, don’t hold it inside.  If you hurt right now, then let it all come out.”

“Breathe” is pretty much my anthem. 

How many times have you seen 4 live?
The only times I’ve seen them were on the cruise.  So three.

What is your favorite song by 7?
“Aftermath”.

Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?
Not really.  Maybe “Lover Dearest,” just because I can’t imagine going through what Josh did.  I have so much respect for him for beating his addiction.

What is your favorite song by 9?
“Top Of the World”.

When did you first get into 2?
2008-ish.  I remember coming across their cover of “Umbrella,” and I loved it.  So then I checked out a few of their other songs.  But I didn’t really fall in love with their music until I saw them at a private acoustic show in 2009.  I’ve been a huge fan ever since.

How did you get into 3?
I heard their song “Cross My Heart” on the radio, and loved it.  So I bought their album, and now I’m a huge fan.

What is your favorite song by 4?
“Annie” or “Something I Said”.

How many times have you seen 9 live?
Four, I think.

What is a good memory concerning 5?
The conversation I had with him after his last set on the cruise.  He’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and he’s so appreciative of his fans.  I mean, the first time I met him was on the cruise, and he was so humbled by the fact that I actually knew who he was and that I had been a fan for several years.  Everytime he saw me after that, he would come up to me and say hi.  But that last conversation I had with him was the best.  After talking for a couple minutes, I told him that I would come see him the next time he’s in Seattle, and I said goodbye and started walking away.  He grabbed me and pulled me back, and gave me a huge hug.  He told me that I was beautiful and amazing, and how my support meant the world to him.  It was just a really cool moment.

Is there a song by 8 that makes you sad?
“Permanent”.  That song gets me every time.

What is your favorite song of 1?
“Disarray” or “Whatever It Takes”.

How did you become a fan of 10?
One of my friends introduced me to their music in 2009 when I was visiting her in Nashville.  But I didn’t listen to them again after that until I saw them on the cruise.  I’d only planned on watching one of their sets, but I ended up going to all three of them.  They really impressed me.
