Dear Paramore,

You’ve touched my heart, and in a couple of weeks I’ll be flying from London to Mardrid to see you, because I simply miss being around my family - Hayley, Jeremy, Taylor and the beautiful fans who understand. You deserve a neverending letter, but mere words cannot describe my love for your music, the comfort you bring me everyday, or how much I want to thank you for being there when everyone else gave up. We’re just getting started.

- Lana

We would like everyone to know that the letters submitted do not need to be life changing experiences. We know that it seems intimidating when you read some of the letters here. But I would like everyone to just think of it as a… mylifeisaverage.com kind of thing. Except it would be little tid-bits of your life that somehow involve Paramore. You know, just small things to let Paramore know that they are making differences in peoples lives, no matter how small those differences may be. <3

Of course, we do not want to discourage any one from writing long letters to Paramore.  We simply wish for every one to know that just because you don’t have a lot to say, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t say it. Write a letter a day if you like, or more. As Lindsey has said. ALL letters are honored.

Janene l The Letters To Paramore Team

Dear Paramore,

Today I was feeling most anxious. As music is the best therapy for me, I turned on the radio. I tried to sing along to the music, but nothing could push away my anxiety. Hell, I don’t even know why I was feeling anxious. Anyway, I remembered that I had my trusty iPod. I then proceeded to pull it out and play your music. It only took a few seconds for me to feel better and it was the most care free drive to work I’ve had so far. Thank you guys for being so amazing. <3

Dear Paramore,

Words cannot express the love and gratitude that i feel for you guys.  You guys have been my favorite band for awhile now, and a couple months ago a tragedy struck me.  My father passed away, it was very, very sudden, and I struggled to cope with the reality of the situation I was in as an only child.  Every time I felt down or sad I would put on your music and it pulled me out of a dark, dark place.  I will always remember one time that I was listening to my Ipod on shuffle and your cover of “My Hero” came on and I burst into tears.  You put so much feeling and love into your music, and that’s what makes you guys awesome. I love you guys! Always stay true to Paramore!

Love, http://naminoo.tumblr.com/

:D Im a huge fan. I will do anything to meet all of you. I know I haven’t been there since the beginning but till the end I will. :) I can’t wait for your new album. Paramore is still a band. And always will be. 

The first time I ever heard your music was in simlish – I was instantly hooked :L then I found you on Myspace, had a listen then bought AWKIF a few days later. Now, just over 4 years later I’m still addicted to your music, supported you anyway possible and seen you live 3 times – Glasgow Carling Academy, Glasgow SECC & Aberdeen AECC♥ your incredible live – play/sing every note perfectly!
Your music always cheers me up when I’m feeling down ツ My Heart & When It Rains are the favourites for those moments♥ so thank you for making the best music ever, and for continuing to do that even when things got tough♥

Dear Paramore,

I’m not too great at this things, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. Well, you’ve been my favourite band since I was… oh, about ten? But, I only recently got to see you live on November 20th in Aberdeen. Your music has helped me through so much. I came out as bisexual a few months ago, I’ve gotten a lot of crap from bullies in my school, but your music and all you as individuals have helped me stay strong, and I love you for that<3

Loads of love,

Abbey.

Dear Paramore.
im bad at writing stuff like this, but here goes.
you’ve been my favourite band for a long time! you’ve helped me through so much, and impacted on my life massively. i went to your concert last year, 8th november, nottingham arena ♥. it was amazing. you were amazing! you guys are inspirational, and thankyou for sticking with it, even when things times have got hard. i can’t repay you enough for how much you have gotten me through. i listen to your albums, on repeat, over and over. i never get sick of them. as i said im bad at this sort of stuff, just know, i love you. & i hope to meet you all some day <3.

I just want to say a big thank you!!

Youre music set my feelings free. I´m not that person who shows my feelings.All youre songs were through mylife for three years now.When I was sad I heard “When it rains,We are broken,Franklin and Misguided ghosts.”It helps me very much.

Others songs make me fell good like: Born for this,crushcrushcrush….

I love you so much and I don´t want to let you go. You´ve bee a part of my life,you are a part of my life you will be always a part of my life♥♥♥

I like a lot Emergency and we are broken. The history behind this songs are very true and great.

Everyday I see kids who fall in love together. I don´t have any against them ,but two weeks later they apart two days later both have another boyfriend or girlfriend and i think it´s all a fake with love. They say love and other guys feelings are toys.

So I want to thank you again and I love you guys al lot♥♥♥

See you Katerina

P.S I´m German so my english isn´t good XD

First off, your fricken awesome. Your music has been in my life for so many years now. It has helped me through difficult times in my life and helped me to be myself, regardless what others think. I know everyone is posting long letters, but I wanted to keep it short and sweet. Please stay in my life, and keep on rockin’ !

Love love,

Samantha J <3

Honestly, I have no clue where to start. I would like to say, thank you. That’s where my whole story starts. I’ve been a fan since 2005, and have been meaning to tell you this since then. I was 7 turning 8 when I first heard of your beautiful music. I am now 13 going on 14, and still a proud parafan. I will be for the rest of my life. You guys have shown me to have strength, and courage to believe in myself, and my dreams. You 3 have stuck together, and I’m hoping you will make the best of it while you can. I honestly don’t know what to write to you 3 amazing, talented, young folks. You guys saved my life really… I’ve lived in depression for a long time now, and your music… It opens up to me, and I magically feel better. I ‘m starting to tear up while writing this to you. i am never able to fathom enough words to you guys.

A little story for you: I remember meeting you August 8th, 2010, on the Honda Civic Tour at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. I remember I stayed up all night before that so I can make a RIOT! shirt. I still look at it and smile, because all of your signatures are on it. I remember when Hayley said, “I LOVE THIS. Can I buy it from you?” I still laugh back at that.. I always remember standing between my friend Steven and you Hayley. I remember stuttering like a fool saying, “Du.. Du-dude. You are my inspiration..” and you replied, “I’m happy to ablidge. I remember all of your smiles.. I remember how kind you were. I remember giving a microphone silly band to you Hayley. I rememeber crying when I looked at all of you guys. I remember walking out from under the tent in the pouring rain, and dancing. I remember laughing and getting soaked. My friend Steven won tickets, and took me. I still can’t repay him enough for it. 

I just wanted to tell you, thank you. For always sticking with us- even in the hardest times. You guys really are my inspirations, and most of all my Hero’s. I love you, God bless, may God bring you the best life you can ever have. 

Love,

Amanda.

I’m really bad at this kind of thing so.. I just want the three of you to know how much I appreciate how GREAT you are with your fans! Seriously, I feel like I know each one of you personally and you guys are sooo important in my life! It’s ridiculous how much I can love three people I’ve never met (not yet anyway) soo soo much! You’re my absolute favorite band and you make me happy every single day of my life. Thank you for sticking with us through the hard times. Jeremy, Taylor, and Hayley, you literally mean the WORLD to me! Thank you for not giving up on us! We’re just getting started!
Love from the bottom of my heart,
~Kristi~

You are the first band I fell in love with. I grew up in an area where the ‘kids’ were all stereotyped to be a certain way, and I went along with the stereotype because I thought if I did all the ‘cool’ kids would like me. I remember trying so hard to get them to like me and whatever I did didn’t work. I didn’t like the music they listened to, or the slutty clothes they wore, that wasn’t me. I didn’t know who I was! A short time after that (Must have been 05/06) I was on MySpace and I came across some people talking about this  band called Paramore, I ended up listening to a couple of tracks from the AWKIF album and automatically loved the music, I began to search for other similar music, and well the rest is history. As I got older I moved away from what I thought I was supposed to be and became who I am today, I truly believe you guys have changed my life for the better! If I hadn’t come across your band all those years ago I think I would still be that stupid kid trying to get the ‘cool’ kids to like me! I love you so much! :) <3

I just want to thank you for everything. For two and a half years you’ve been my life. You’re not just one of my favorite bands, you’re part of me. You’ve helped me through some really rough patches, and your music has really started to change me into who I am today. Before you I never felt special, with all the music I listened to I was never singled out as a fan, let alone a family member. Being part of this huge family full of so many different people from so many different backgrounds, some of whom don’t have anything in common except for our love for you guys, is amazing. It’s one of the best feelings in the world. I’ve seen you twice. The second time after the show Hayley came over to my side looked at me and about eight people around me, said “I love you!” and blew kisses. That was one of the best feelings in the world. I feel an extremely strong connection to you guys, a connection that will never break no matter what happens inside the band. This is a love that will never die. Being a Parawhore is more than just liking the music. It’s being able to feel the music, it’s having each element of each song coursing through my veins, it’s loving all three of you. And previous members who have previously or long since left the band.
I was twelve when I found you guys. I was scared and alone and even though I liked things and listened to music that made me fit in on the outside, I didn’t feel right on the inside. But then I found you guys. I’m now fifteen. And although I don’t fit in, and I’m nothing like anyone else, I embrace it. Because if I’m having a bad day I can go in my room full of pictures of you and listen to your music and play guitar to it. Two an a half years ago I bought Riot! and that lit just a tiny spark. That spark grew into something bigger. I sat back and Let The Flames Begin never thinking that it would turn into something this huge and meaningful. It’s such a big deal to me that rather than driving 45 minutes to go to Warped in Chicago I’m driving 2 and a half hours to go to Warped in Wisconsin to see you guys.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you mean so much to me. More than you’ll ever know. I love all three of you so much.

You guys have literally changed my life. Ever since the first time I heard your music (and I have to be honest, the first song I heard from you was Decode… but I’m not a crazy “Twilight” fan, I can assure you that…) I just fell in love with it, your music has inspired me . I didn’t even had a musical preference before you guys (to be honest I barely even listened to music… go figure). After I heard you… Paramore became my favorite kind of music, and it still is. After listening to you guys I started getting interested in music and now I can’t live without it. I sing and play the piano (I’m not as good as I would like to be but it could be worse) and all because you guys have inspired me. Your music is awesome!!! I know every single song of yours (even your demos and EPs) : from tittles, to lyrics, to to what album it belongs, etc. I own all of your albums, plus The Final Riot! cd+dvd set, I also like collecting your merch. I’m part of the Official Paramore Fan Club and I’m from Puerto Rico, I almost died when I discovered you guys were coming here for a concert, obviously I went to that concert (even though I did not won Meet and Greet passes I had an awesome time!!!). I definitely dream about meeting you some day. I have only known you since 2008 but I feel like I’ve been a fan all along because I know that only if a had listened to your music since your first record came out I would have fell in love with it. There is not a single song from you guys that I don’t like, seriously… It is awesome in a weird kind of way because I can relate to every single song of yours, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!! Plus your music style is perfect in my opinion. The harmonies in your songs, all the details, the sound of all the instruments, Hayley’s voice… Just perfect!!! The passion you guys put to what you do, amazes me. The way you connect with all of your fans, it’s awesome. I love your ways of thinking. Hayley, Jeremy, Taylor… you are all so humble and admirable… you are such good persons and you make me want to be a better person. Maybe this sounds ridiculous, or just a little exaggerated, but this is honestly how I really feel about you guys. I listen to your music all day long, I stalk you guys on the internet, I follow you on Twitter, on Facebook, on paramore.net, I have seen all your music videos, and I always will be a fan of yours,  no matter what. Thank You for just sticking around despite of all the harsh times you’ve gone through. We, your fans, appreciate that a lot. Love you guys.

Sincerly,

Shellyann
