Hmm. You know, since I’ve turned 13, I started diving my life into band-eras. So I would discover this x band, get myself really into them, get bored, and finally, get over with it and then I would start all over again with another band. Of course, they were and still are major influences on me but they were more like… just bands, you know? The songs along with their messages and even though they were great… that was all. I feel like with Mars it+s something different. It’s more than just music. It’s like a lifestyle. It’s something that you really fucking believe in, so you can’t abandon that.
Same here. Although I wasn’t really jumping from one band to another. I had like (more or less) the same group of fav bands for almost 10 years, before MARS happened to me. But when MARS did happen to me, I realized that none of them ever really touched me on such an emotional and personal level like 30STM does. Both the music and everything else about the band. It’s something else. And yeah, the bolded part, basically.
When I was younger I was jumping from on obsession to another, the poster on my wall chanced in sucha fast rhythm it was unbelievable. But then Mars came and from the beginning they were different. It wasn’t just the OMG love you state it went deeper. They challenged me. When you first get into Mars there is such a big mysterium waiting for you, it takes a long time to get all this little pieces together and your puzzle will never be done. And while you are searching for the pieces you get into a personal relationship with the band but not only the band also with other people you realized that you aren’t alone, that you aren’t the only one feeling like you do. You meet best friends. Every step you take into the mysterium Mars makes you fall in love with them all over again and even more. I have been with them for almost 3 years now and they still manage to amaze me and challenge me.
Like you guys said it’s not only music or a fandom, it’s a way of life, it’s what you believe in.
I’m watching this video on a regular base.
After Cristina first posted it I asked her if she could sent it to me and since that day it’s on my iPod.
The lyrics of the song she choose to use just hit the nail on the head.
This band and their music saved my life. I don’t know where I would be without them.
And we all have that one song that will always save us. That one song that means everything to us.


It makes me cry and smile at the same time.
’Some of my favorite memories were swimming in the seas of Spain with my bro’
I can basically see the two of them in front of me, goofying around in the water.
Ohh let me love you Shannon
So Cristina and I could stop analyzing. So we analyzed Hurricane, to me this was way harder then Kings and Queens. Again ist just our skype conversation put together but this time you really can see it ;)
Again feel free to add some of your interpretation. and ignore the spelling
So Cristina and I were talking about a lot of stuff today and somehow we talked about how the human kind thinks that it’s the kings of nature, well out of fun Cristina wrote We were the Kings and Queens of promise and the I wrote back The victims of ourselve and it basically hit us. So we moved our asses to skype and analyzed Kings and Queens.
Crsitina had to go offline for a while, put once I started working I couldn’t stop so I just kept writing her.
This is basically what I wrote her and her comments to it. Have fun reading it and maybe add your own interpretation. this was written really fast on skype so ignore the spelling
This can’t be true
Someone hold me
Exactly two years ago on December, 15th 2009 I bought This Is War.
I only know the songs The Kill, From Yesterday, A Beautiful Lie and Kings and Queens back then and I just went into the store and got that CD without knowing how much this band will mean to me.
These three guys and their music will always be a big part of my life and of who I am.
They came to me in a time when I had to face decisions I didn’t want to make. I felt like I needed to grow up and leave my inner child behind to face all this.
And then this three guys just walked into my life without even knowing what kind of impact they’ll have on me. They thaught me that I can keep my inner child forever, that I don’t have to grown up to achieve the things I want to achieve and to make the decisions I have to make.
They changed the way I look at things, they changed the way I thing about things and most of all they changed me.
To me it feels like they opend my eyes and gave me a chance to see the beauty out there.
But not only did they chance my life, they also gave me my best friends and the greatest family you can imagine.
I’ll forever be grateful for what they have done to me.
Their spirits are in every decision I make and in every dream I follow.
All I can say to them is thank you
Thank you for being there when no one else was, thank you for holding me tide when everybody just let go, thank you for being the light that never left me and will never leave me.
I know I can count on the Echelon and Mars in every moment of my life. They will alway be there for me and give me a shoulder to lean on.
So yeah December, 15th is a very special date for me, in someway it’s more important the August 23rd which is the day I saw Mars live.
All I want to do is say thank you to Mars and the Echelon and I love you from the bottom of my heart, you all will always be a part of me. This have been the best two years of my life and I know that my journey with Mars isn’t over yet.
It just makes me fucking happy.
This morning when I got to bed for my one hour powernap after the Mars 300 show, I thought it would take sometime till I can listen to Mars again without crying.
But their music doesn’t make me cry, it makes me smile. Cuz I know this songs will be there for me whenever I need them, they’ll never leave me and neither will Mars.
These three guys and their music will always be a big part of my life and of who I am.

I’ll forever be grateful for what they have done to me and I know that they may do a break and don’t make music for a long time now, but they’ll never leave me.
Their spirits are in every decision I make and in every dream I follow.
Thank you for being there when no one else was, thank you for holding me tide when everybody just let go, thank you for being the light that never left me and will never leave me.
I know I can count on the Echelon and Mars in every moment of my life. Even tho you guys are taking a break now, I know that when I need help and a shoulder to lean on you will be there.
Thank you 30 seconds to Mars
