This is going to be a bit of a personal post. Recently I ended a three year relationship with the guy who introduced me to this amazing band. Its sad because the more I think about our last few months together they were all spent at DMB shows. Now why on earth would that be a sad thing you ask? Well because I believe the band was the only thing keeping us together at that point.
I go to school full time down at the University of Tampa so being home for the summer is nice because I get to spend all my time with friends, family, and Nick, my now ex boyfriend. But this summer was very different. I was excited to be home to see my family but after a while I was ready to go back to Tampa to see my friends and that really upset Nick. When you're young three years is a long time for a relationship especially a long distance one. I changed being away at school and I don't think thats a bad thing. People change and grow apart, it happens. I just never thought it would happen to Nick and I.
This summer we went to five DMB shows together. Two local ones at Jones Beach and then three road trips to Bethel Woods, Hartford, and Saratoga. We had our ups and downs at shows, one of us would drink a little too much here and there but hey that happens. All in all while we were together listening to the band it was just incredible. I went to one show without him last summer and it just made me realize how much I really did love him and how much he meant to me. It was weird not having him with me.
From this point on its going to be strange not seeing DMB with him. My love for the band isn't going to fade because our relationship did but I'll always be reminded of him, and the amazing times we shared because of Dave Matthews Band.
