I drove down to Nashville to audition for American Idol this week. I had an amazing time. Unfortunately, I got cut the first round. Obviously I’m bummed, because I actually thought I did a decent job, but it’s okay. It was worth it all.

When we were standing outside the Arena waiting to go inside for auditions, I met this girl named Alana. She was so much fun and we walked in to this circle of other contestants. Some of them had guitars and we all just sang together. It was one of the greatest moments and greatest feelings I’ve ever had. We all knew nothing about each other, where we came from, things about our lives but for an hour or so we were family. We felt close to eachother, closer than we've felt to almost anyone for a few moments. We bared our souls for eachother to see.

I love Music. I love it so much.
