Paramore - Hayley Cries During 26 @ Merriweather Post Pavilion, MD 6/23/18

[@PoppsPoppin]

To all those punk who keep on saying that Paramore is a Hayley show .. Remember that she STAYED. She stayed. That alone says it all.

[@wojo4hitz]

And they've stayed -- and come back -- with her!!

[@PoppsPoppin]

wojo4hitz Exactly. If she really had that "dream" of being a superstar, she could've just ditch the guys and she'll surely make her owb way to the top but she fucking didn't. I'm not sure why some people is having a hard time realizing that part.

[@jemmasimmons3128]

Just like Amy Lee with Evanescence

[@Drounzer]

In 2015 she left the band because 'losing' Jeremy was to hard for her. Taylor did the best he could to bring her back and fell in love with the music again. And she did. She has said it multiple times that Taylor was/is the best man in the band and she is lost without him.

[@PoppsPoppin]

Drounzer that's actually the point, she wants to be around the guys. When she considered leaving the band, it's not because of her going on solo. It's due to the fact that she kept on loosing friends. I know she mentioned that during their interview with Zane Lowe. That if Taylor didn't persuade her to stay, there's no Paramore anymore.

[@froggeh3036]

Hayley: crying Taylor: trying not to cry Zac: i must XYLOPHONE!

LMAO HELP

Not a xylophone, it's a glockenspiel

[@eddiedeli]

Watching Zac was entertaining because his face never changed, yet you could still tell he went from a look of fascination while watching the crowd, to a look of determination as he played his bell part, to a look of concern as he watched Hayley at the end.

After Laughter will forever hold a special place in my heart. Following Paramore for more than 10 years, I kinda feel that I was there with them throughout their journey. After Laughter cemented that. It came out on one of the hardest times of my life and I think, without it, I wouldn't be the strong and hopeful person that I am now.

[@robertfrost8264]

I'm a 32 year old dude who didn't *really* get into Paramore until After Laughter. What an amazing album and incredible band.

[@wojo4hitz]

Agreed!! Hope you love all the old stuff too!

[@Astromyxin]

I absolutely hated After Laughter when it came out, because it was different than what I wanted. It only took about 3 more listens for it to be one of my favorite records ever.

[@nfgatorgal]

Astromyxin Same!!!!!

[@JennaLynn]

I've found it more challenging to get into her newer stuff but she is an absolute gem. Thank you for sharing this I feel like I will have a similar experience

[@maxvazquez7213]

Really??? I loved After laugher right from the beginning

[@JennaLynn]

@@maxvazquez7213 I guess it's cause I was really big into her first album when it first came out and their sound has evolved which is totally cool, but something to get used to in a good way! I'm not speaking on every song, just some I felt that way. They're one of my favorites though and I met them years ago!

[@ashleyvillarreal8083]

Props to her still being able to sing the song without letting her voice go out of pitch. It is very hard and for that I have much respect for her artistry

[@jacquesduplessis6175]

Hurt has never been more beautiful.

[@suGABabe98]

Let me start by sharing a story, I had a friend who was so kind she was almost exactly like an Angel fell on Earth. She showed nothing but pure kindness, compassionate, she was so humble, genuine, she laughs at all of our jokes even at the corniest of them all, she was thoughtful, caring, she would give whatever you may ask as long as she could, passionate,sweet & sensitive, and understanding. She was so out of this world. She had been listening to some of your songs Paramore, probably have already heard 26 from me as well. Even though things won't just work out for her, her family set up, her school works, her passion, her health. I remember she would always capture moments with her own phone camera. She would always smile and adjust and.... she would give anything for her friend. We shared dreams, and I was so proud and assured that she'll reach what she wanted in the future because she was a positive, always smiling, simple girl and really had the potential even though only few of us in our class could see it. Until one day we received a message from her mom that she's gone. It was about two weeks ago when we found out and the cause was of cardiac arrest. Her body just suddenly gave up on her because of all these workloads and maybe her thoughts, she was too kind to face all of these and to feel upset, down and alone even though we were here most of the time, it breaks my heart, it feels painful until now. Thinking we could've done more, to make her feel she is special and tell her that we love her before things are too late. God I miss her so much, we miss her everyday, the entirety of her, there are times that a song would remind us of her and we'd suddenly snap and cry because she was a great big loss to us. She was a sister, one of the best roommate I ever had, a friend. The Earth was too cruel and not a perfect place for her. Until now even though we were there for her burial I still cannot believe that our friend is gone forever, but she would never want us to be sad and mourn for her passing forever. If she's here, she would sing this song for us. That we may never be complete ever again, but at least we gotta try our hardest to keep each other's faith stay strong and hold on to hope while we have it. We gotta keep dreaming despite of whatever's been going down for each and everyone of us. And she hates to see our hearts break. We know that she's up there, guiding us, still laughing at our trips. I miss our Marie so much. Thank you for all the memories that you left us. You'll forever be in our hearts no matter what. It's hard to lose a person in your life who has done nothing but to become your angel, your wonderwall, your savior. We'll stay strong for you. We love you.

[@mesunekonyan]

I would love to finish reading this one. But... I can't it breaks my heart. Thanks for sharing.

[@neokoga]

26 is my favorite song on the album, it really resonates with me on so many levels. I think she hit the nail on the head here, the rest of the album is the outward face, the veneer of happiness we have to show, but 26 is the heart, the truth of the matter in quite moments alone.

[@soliddragon2041]

BloodKoga I love 26 too. That song gives me so much feels. I played that song during school winter break while I was alone at home and it just made me realize how lonely and empty my life is. It really hit me hard

[@chicotexavier7567]

Franklin and 26 are a perfect combo to cry inside your room and let go of tears, pain and every kind of sadness. It really hits differently. 😭

[@billyeddie5760]

I was at this concert with my kids mother. This was the last concert her and I went to together. She passed away this year and this was her favorite song from the show. RIP

[@wojo4hitz]

Oh man, I'm so sorry. That is so hard. I'm glad I could post this for you. ♥️

[@frankiebluethgen4291]

this shit broke me to see in person. like I promised myself I wouldn't cry but then she did and so did I

[@caroa1686]

Frankie Bluethgen why did she cried???

[@frankiebluethgen4291]

someone had printed out a bunch of hearts for the crowd to hold up and shine their flashlights through for 26

[@Br-kd2ll]

I was at this show! When they played 26 that shit was indeed heavy.. I got pretty teary eyed myself. Especially being that I'm 26. Fantastic show though all around, Foster and Paramore really killed it.

[@Br-kd2ll]

Deb I feel like most everyone was probably pretty emotional during that song. I also got a little choked up when Mark Foster gave his speech towards the end of their set. That show was incredible though. 2 of my favorite bands and I was close to the front. It was fantastic.

[@RoxsMySoxs22]

I'm seeing them on Thursday in Columbus, OH. First Paramore concert!

[@arzukeskinu]

You know what? Its really amazing to see Zac playing all of paramore songs again

[@tjmattyy8875]

i was at this concert and this entire song was such a sad & beautiful moment. fantastic fuckin’ concert.

[@tjmattyy8875]

i was on the lawn and it started raining as she was singing this but the second she moved on to a different song, it stopped.

[@tjmattyy8875]

Deb it was crazy, wasn’t it? the entire concert was absolutely magical but that moment was just so insane and i’ve never experienced something like that at a concert. i was bawling the entire song and that moment just opened the flood gates even more.

[@lachronic7821]

TJ Mattyy why are they crying?

[@tjmattyy8875]

Unlikable it’s an emotional song and the atmosphere of the concert was extremely energetic and emotional and supportive of the band, so it brought on a huge surge of emotions for everyone.

[@ariannatortolero9067]

man, i just cried big fat ugly tears

[@MrJmdamian89]

I got teary eyed the first time I heard this song. I don't blame her for crying. I'm sure the song means a lot to her.

Awh that sweet, fierce lady. She holds so many hearts. I hope that her tears were happy, for how far shes come, and how hard she and her family fought to be there. Poor Zac, his empathy was flairing so hard I thought he was going to tear up too.

[@topvideos4835]

26 Man, you really know how to get someone down Everything was fine, until you came around And I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds After all wasn't I the one who said To keep your feet on the ground Man, you really brought me back down Hold onto hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me You got me tied up but I stay close to the window And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go And hope that someday maybe I just float away And forget every cynical thing you said When you gonna hear me out Man, you really bring me down Hold onto hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me Reality will break your heart Survival will not be the hardest part It's keeping all your hopes alive All the rest of you has died So let it break your heart Hold onto hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody Hold onto hope if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me

[@cara9305]

Absolutely beautiful. I cried when she cried. She deserves the world..

[@jamesgaddis29]

Staying with her band and not going solo probably cost her a lot of money so good to see her band friends and music is what she’s about not just money 💰 love you 😍 paramore

[@communityjester]

i’m from the future she made a solo album

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

I dont know man. After hearing her solo stuff... I and clearly no one else but hardcore paramore fans is interested in that stuff. Its bad. She wouldn't have made a fraction of what she has with paramore.

[@DimaStarz]

When the crowd just backs up with their vocals it just melts my heart so much

[@ArabellaGloria]

i burst into tears when she started crying. she’s so amazing and Paramore helped me so much. it hurts to see her in pain.

[@alexandracitan777]

I cried first time hearing 26 the lyrics hit me so hard

[@DJisAwesome]

Paramore grew with me literally. I remember really liking their songs when I was 9 yrs old. I love the punk, the badass, the angst. I would listen to their songs (and some other bands), all through middle school and loved the emo. But then when this album came out, all of a sudden, I hated it, but I didn't delete the album on my laptop. Now that I'm 20 and struggling in my life I can't help but fall in love with this album. Fake Happy, Told You So, Caught in the Middle and Rose Colored boy sums up all the emotions circling inside your head all the time.

[@anewman]

I turn 26 this year, so this song has even more meaning to me. Definitely helps give me strength to keep going.

[@g.t.7362]

I remember in 2007, the first time i ever heard the song misery business. It was my best friends ringtone. I was 11. I immediately fell in love with the song and the band. Here we are 11 years later and im still in love with paramore. The only band that has truly helped me through some of the darkest times in my life. Im forever grateful for the impact that these people have had on my youth and now adult life.

[@Relmyna]

I was 20 in 2006. paramore totally made my decade.

[@lilmogwaii]

Not listened to paramore or any music in this genre in quite a while but I appreciate the heart they all put into their music.. And when I was younger they really got me through some rough times.

[@PTRK490]

I'm turning 30 next week but when i heard this song 3 years ago, i realized how f**ked up i was when i was 26. It was a really rough year for me. This song made me realize i'd survived and still standing. I love this woman so much. That also includes taylor and zac of course. Paramore forever❤

[@thatonerocker1947]

man, i struggle with severe depression and anxiety. I grew up listening to H.W and i’ve never stopped listening to her music. Bring 26 this year has shown me the tough times that life can bring to you unexpectedly. Losing friends, loved ones, pets can happen at any time, this song reminds me that it’s okay to show emotion and not just pretend to always be so happy. it’s okay to not be okay sometimes. I love you all.

[@koppicup5804]

[@Ferro12211]

This entire album came into my life when I was literally at a crossing road ot my life. I am positive I chose the right path, but when I hear this album it reminds me of the place where my life could have ended up. Bitter sweet memories of what my life is now and what it could have been.

I love this video for a lot of reasons; it captures the importance of 26 to After Laughter but also in connection to Hayley, it shows all 3 members the whole time but it also captures genuine concern and real moment of their friendship between them and lastly, that the crowd was awesome and part of the reason Hayley was so moved. I shall watch this performance always

Being 26, this song is the one that I belt the most. I always feel it. Paramore is such A+ band. I've been a fan for 12 years now and I will always be. I was terrified a few times that they would be no more, but every time they prevailed. I got to see them for the first time after 7 years of waiting and it was an amazing and emotional experience (especially cause it was the home show) Keep going guys!

new paramore fan here. never listened to them until a few months ago when i tried the new album. at first i thought it was nice, and really liked what the songs and the album on whole ha to say. but since then it has exploded on me in a completly different way. things like this are what makes me realise that being in a band (my dream) is about more than music. when i started watching videos of haley and how open and just purely amazing she is i fell in love with her and all the words of the album, and the music supporting it is so dam good. the way she talks about all the themes in the album made me find a totally new connection with it and i will be a fan for future

honestly, this tour has been so amazing. I was at the 6/20 NH show and she got really emotional as well, you can see how grateful they all are and how they're still amazed that they're doing what they love. They've been my favourite band since I was 6 and they always will be
