jonah matranga (at chain reaction)

so Jonah is/always will be my favorite songwriter/singer/man that there is. I've see him perform many times and every time it's wonderful. Each time I go to his show I'm at a different stage of my life and always a different song that speak to me. It always depends where my head/heart is at. Last time I saw Jonah I had just graduated from college, had no job in sight, was pretty broke, and other junk. That show was one of the best things that could of happened to me at the time and the song that made it was "Better Than This".

However, this last show was great two times over. I was front rowing it. The songs were great, but I think the best part was just the humble way that the inbetween of songs went. From Religion to War to just being true to yourself. Jonah always speaks from his heart and makes everyone feel included. Jonah played a little bit off of every record and covered two Prince songs and Kelly Clarkson's Since You Been Gone.

After the show was over there as another little show on the sidewalk outside of chain. Six songs, one being "#1 Defender". But I think that last night song for me was "The Greatest Gift"which was another sidewalk song. Another big highlight was "Lukewarm".

Can't wait for another show, who knows where I'll be and what song will mean so much to me.

i stand: AMAZING. BEST SHOW EVER.
