We Want More, Paramore!

Did I really come to the gig and watch them live on the stage cried so hard while sang along, jumped, and danced or... was that all just a very very sweet dream in a very very tight sleep.

It all truly happened. Hayley, Jeremy, Taylor, so close to my eyes. Paramore live in Jakarta, August 19th, 2011 at Carnaval Beach Ancol.

Berangkat dari rumah kira-kira jam 11.15 sama Dea, Martin, Lucky, Tia, Lexi dan sampe Ancol sekitar jam 2an. Sepanjang jalanan macet kerjaannya dengerin joke-joke Lucky sama Martin mencela-cela orang di jalan dan radio, dengerin Dea panik mau ngasih kaos buat Paramore lewat Tia yang ternyata dapet backstage pass! Dari jam setengah 3an, sampe menjelang buka itu kerjanya nungguin gate pertama dibuka, abis itu semua buka puasa dan gak lama gate kedua dibuka sekitar jam setengah 7. Dan ternyata The Swellers pun baru muncul sekitar jam setengah 9. Lumayan meng-hot-kan suasana karena semua loncat-loncat dan teriak padahal mungkin sebagian besar gak tau lagunya. Dan yang bikin hati adem, vokalis The Swellers ngomong "I have one thing.. Indonesia.. You, are the most beautiful country we have ever been!" (kira-kira begitu) dilanjutin sama lagu gatau apaan. Selalu merinding sama band-band luar yang ngomong gitu. Abis The Swellers turun panggung, kecewanya ParaIndoFam harus nunggu LAGI buat Paramore naik panggung. Tiba-tiba ParaIndoFam rame teriak-teriak, THAT WAS HAYLEY WAVING HER HAND AT US ON THE CORNER OF THE STAGE!!! Gak lama setelah itu, Jeremy dan Taylor masuk mainin intro, and finally....... Hayley masuk panggung sambil lari-lari kesana kemari loncat-loncat, ParaIndoFam teriak-teriak rameeee parah, macem gelombang kesana kemari, padahal udah ada beberapa orang yang kehabisan oksigen selama nunggu mereka keluar jadi udah ga kuat nyanyi atau teriak atau loncat, salah satunya gue.

First song, Ignorance! Crowdnya mulai gila dan situasi pengap banget, tapi tetep.. SERU! Lanjut Feeling Sorry, keadaan masih kayak begitu. Abis Hayley teriak "WE ARE PARAMORE!!!!" diikutin sama semua ParaIndoFam, lanjut lagu ketiga itu... That's What You Get. Abis chorus pertama Hayley teriak "IS THAT ALL YOU GET??! COME ON AND GIVE IT TO ME!", pas bridge Hayley tiduran gitu. She was hot, hotter than the sun. Next song, For A Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic. A quite riot crowd man! Nexxxt, Emergency. Untung disiram air pas lagu ini. Jadi yang tadinya pengap banget jadi lumayan adem. Lanjut Playing God, I sang along. I almost cried when I saw their faces, soalnya baru pas di lagu ini gue bener-bener ngeliat muka mereka, karena dari awal lagu itu crowdnya parah banget sampe muka mereka gak keliatan dan gue lebih banyak sibuk cari oksigen. I almost cried but then the whole crowd started to get some more akhirnya ga jadi nangis karena muka mereka udah ga keliatan lagi. Seventh was Decode, lightingnya sokiiiil gobbb. Terus mereka keluar sebentar, dan masuk lagi ternyata acoustic session diawali dengan When It Rains, crowd mereda. Jadi bisa ambil nafas dan ikutan nyanyi. Masih akustik, kata Hayley lagu ini buat ParaIndoFam yang dateng. Yeah because no one is as lucky as us! Where The Lines Overlap! Next acoustic song, Misguided Ghosts. I don't remember exactly how it all happened in a row, pokoknya entah kapan si Taylor keluar pake blangkon. Dan Hayley juga dipakein blangkon sama Taylor. That was an honor to see them wearing it...

Acoustic session's over. Mereka bawain Crushcrushcrush. Gue joget seada-adanya kalo kata Martin sama Lucky hahahaha Hayley joget mulu sepanjang lagu ini jadi gue ikut juga. And finally! Monster was the 12th! Dan abis itu Hayley bilang apaaa gitu pokoknya kira-kira, "ini untuk kalian yang beli album pertama kita, HERE WE GO!" Mereka bawain Here We Go Again. Lagunya bikin joget banget ga mentingin sekitar.

Next! Pressure! Pas menjelang bridge ternyata ParaIndoFam udah nyanyi duluan jadi si Hayley joget-joget selama kita nyanyi, terus dia bilang "yeah! You got it!" dan ngasih a bit applause buat ParaIndoFam. "I wanna ask you a question" kata Hayley, diikutin sama suara ParaIndoFam "what? what?", "I'm gonna ask you a personal question... but not that personal. It's pretty simple actually, I wanna know how many people here.. That have ever been to a Paramore show.. Yes I see you.. Well thank you for coming back! Thank you so much! That means that we don't totally suck, we're doing something right, that we have you back here. We appreciate it. Well, what about all of you who have NEVER been to a Paramore show?" diikutin sama sorakkan ParaIndoFam. "I have one thing to say to you... Welcome to our family! This is a very big family, and it's worldwide. It's a lil bit disfunctional sometimes we're coming crazy, sorry.. But, once you're in, you can never get out. And we'll come find you if we try, we'll trap you down all the way to your house, and then to your momma's house, and then to your grandmomma's house, we'll come find you. You're not going anywhere. So how does it feel, it's pretty good to me, this is good. JEKARDA, it's one more chorus left to this song. And I want you to sing it so loud, that everyone who isn't here, all the people in the city, all the people in traffic, in their cars, I want everyone who isn't here, to hear us and know HOW MUCH MORE FUN WE'RE HAVING TODAY. When you go home tonight, I do not want you to have a voice, I want it to be gone. Because you sang so loud, you lost it. Can you do that for me? Oh and one more thing, tell all your friends that aren't here later, that they missed out" Dan selama itu Hayley ngoceh, selama itu pula gue nangis kejer. Menjelang lagu abis, JEREMY DID THE FLIP! I CRIED HARDER. Next song was Looking Up, pas bagian bridge "God knows the world doesn't need another band" ParaIndoFam langsung nyanyi sekencengnya. Next, The Only Exception, kata Hayley "... you guys are changing our lives, we gotta thank God of you". ParaIndoFam sang along so hard that Hayley's voice couldn't be heard, dan dia bilang "it's beautiful", lagu selesai Hayley gave us applause. Ditutup sama kembang api, dan mereka turun panggung.

Panggung gelap dan semua mulai teriak "WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!" tiba-tiba Taylor sama Jeremy masuk, dan Hayley masuk sambil ngomong "you want more? So do we!". Mereka bawain Brick by Boring Brick. Hayley senam-senam lucu gitu sepanjang lagu. "Good night Jakarta and we are Paramore!", disambung lagu terakhir, Misery Business. Those lucky bastards Hayley pulled up have made a great crowd of jealousy... One Less Lonely Girl nya Justin Bieber biarkan lah forever lonely, forever ga penting. Ditarik Hayley naik ke atas panggung, peluk Jeremy &Taylor, peluk Hayley, take a pict together during the song. WHAT THE FUCK!

Damn right Hayley is beautiful. The most adorable woman in the world, more than those who use detox and else. She was stunning. She danced and banged head cutely. She was wunderbearly awesome, an energetic lovely woman who can only be found in your dreams, but she.. is.. true.. Jeremy was lovely! How he did his flip, how he moved, how he threw his pick to us (I still remember it clearly, it happens right in front of me). And Taylor was CUTE!!!!! He ran from side to side, and always moved his head cutely. He was so close to me. Give it up for ShowMaxx and ParamoreINA for making this true, for bringing this huge band, for bringing such a great great band here. Now ParaIndoFam is truly waiting for a miracle to have them back here someday!



P.S. sorry for being such a fussy annoying thing trashing your timeline since last night, it just doesn't make any sense not to making me fussy. I was so excited, so were all the Indonesian Parawhores.
P.P.S. I didn't use any camera because I was all about into the show. Oh, and waiting for like 6 hours, was worthed.
