"Our Voice Is A Weapon. . ."

I have to say, at 7:00 PM tonight when I logged on to To Write Love On Her Arms website to watch the live webcast, I had no idea who Andy Zipf or Damion Suomi were.
I had never heard their music, let alone heard of them.

Then they come on and Damion insists that Andy play the first song.
He explained the meaning behind it, and then he began to play "Our Voice Is A Weapon"

From the moment he started playing I knew he was talented with a guitar.
Then he began singing and I listened to his lyrics, I listened to the way he sang.
You could tell he enjoyed it, and the song wasn't something you could find a million of on iTunes or off a record store shelf. The song meant something, something more than saying "I love you" or "We'll get through this".
I got more out of all of their songs than I ever expected.

It has been a while since I've heard songs with true meaning.
I'm not dissing the other artists I listen to, I love all of their music.
Don't get me wrong, I love the catchy boyband songs, the old country songs, the songs you can just rock out to. . .But when you can keep your deep attention on two guys with acoustic guitars for an hour and a half and with each song gain something, that's something special.

I was sad that the webcast had to end.
It's almost hard to explain.

I knew when I heard TWLOHA was having a webcast from their office in Cocoa, FL that it was going to be special, every TWLOHA event is special. I always get something out of it. Whether it be a live chat on the street team, the Heavy & Light event they broadcasted earlier this year, or tonight during the webcast. . .It might be something simple but I always gain something special from it.

The world needs more musicians like Andy Zipf and Damion Suomi.
They are true musicians who do what they do because they love to, not because they want to make a million dollars doing it.

I want to extend a thank you to Andy & Damion simply for being themselves.
Keep doing what your doing, you have no idea how appreciated it is.

Love & [World] Peace,
