"My name is Freya Rogers," she says and cheers fill the air. I'm apart of them, "I can't... believe that we're here. This is Lollapalooza and we're all here... wow," she says, looking out in the crowd.
"I've never been to Lolla before. This is my first time attending and playing. Like, this is the biggest festival I've ever played," she continues. With every word, my smile begins to grow. I love this for her, "And I'm just- I'm so overwhelmed by your showing up and you look so fucking cool, all of you right now, thanks for being here.
"We're just gonna play some songs. So, um, yeah!" she exclaims, putting her microphone in the stand.
The band starts playing Camden (which is arguably one of the saddest songs I have ever heard). Obviously, I've listened to her music, both willingly and unwillingly, but just when I thought she couldn't get any better, she performs live. It's hard to pull my eyes away from her. She's fucking mesmerizing.
Between the chorus and the bridge, she grabs her wooden guitar that has been by the drum set the whole time. After Camden finishes, she goes into Block Me Out. Freya's got a bit of a thing for writing sad songs.
The rest of her set consists of a cover of Dancing On My Own by Robyn, Wishful Thinking, and I miss you, I'm sorry.
She sits back at her keyboard for the last song. Freya clears her throat into the mic, a small chuckle escaping her lips, "This was one of the first songs I ever put out, uh, I wrote it, y'know, post heartbreak, feeling sad," she explains, "Um, I felt really close to you guys when I put this song out. Please sing it with me, it's called I miss you, I'm sorry," she says with a small smile on her face.
I rest my head against Florence's temple as Freya begins to sing, the two of us swaying back and forth. Keegan doesn't seem to mind. He's probably used to getting his girlfriend stolen by Freya.
When her song ends, Freya covers her face with her hands before looking up at the crowd. She grabs her mic and stands up, "Thank you so fucking much, you guys! I'm never gonna forget this day, my whole life, thank you so much!" she says as a rose gets thrown onto the stage, "Thank you! Love you!" Freya exclaims, sending a kiss to the crowd, before skipping off stage.
The security guard knows who we are when we walk up to him as Freya talked to him before and said that we were coming backstage after the show to get her. He lets us through. Florence and Leah go actually get Freya, leaving us standing near where we enter and exit the festival.
"She was fucking amazing," Caitlin says, shaking my shoulders. She's almost as amazed as I am, "You could not pull your eyes away from Freya."
I shake my head with a smile, knowing she's right, "You couldn't take your eyes off of Leah," I shoot back at her. That shuts her up pretty quickly, repressing a smile as the three girls are walking back towards us.
Freya's smile is huge and she comes straight up to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. It surprises me a bit, but I grin widely, holding her around the waist, lifting her feet off of the ground just a little bit.
"You did great," I say when I put her down. She hasn't pulled away from the hug yet so I don't either. I run my hand up and down her bare (middle to lower) back.
She shrugs her shoulders, lifting her head to look at me with her arms still around my neck, "You got to see me perform live," Freya tells me with a smile as if I didn't sit through the 45 minute set, but I don't care. She could tell me the most obvious thing and I would find it interesting.
I nod, wanting to hug her again, but when she lets her arms drop from around my neck, I let my arms hang at my sides. Freya goes to hug Keegan and then Caitlin, thanking Caitlin for coming.
When I can pull my eyes away from her, I spot Leah staring at me with a grin. I feel my cheeks heat and I know she caught me staring at Freya. God.
