Hello Welcome to the Boulder Theater for the Brian Kmetko foundation benefit concert. I'm Tyler McBride I will be the Emcee for the evening. The money raised tonight will be put into the foundation where it will be given to families who have children who have seizures and can't afford medication and a caregiver who can stay home with the child if the parents need to go to work. Our first performer of night they happened to have been Brian's favorite band we the Kings they are going to perform Brian's favorite song Just keep breathing.
"When heaven seems so far away
And dreams are just a memory
Without the dark the light won't show
Remember that you're not alone
When you watch the world just turn away
And break the promises it makes
When love is all too hard to hold
Just take a breath and let it go
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Just keep breathing, breathing, breathing
2 A.M. too tired to sleep
When what you wants' not what you need
And when these walls don't feel like home
Remember that you're not alone"
Tyler: the second performer of the night is one of the celebrities who is a new spokesperson for the foundation Ms. Julianne Hough singing I'll stand by you.
"Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothin' you confess, could make me love you less
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you"
Tyler: the third performer of the night is a friend of Brian's Damon Young singing chasing cars
(Emily who was waiting backstage got a little angry when she heard Damon's name and him being called a friend of Brian's)
"I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own"
Tyler: the fourth performer of the night is another celebrity spokesperson for the foundation Josh Groban singing
"Wake up, wake up, the sun cannot wait for long.
Reach out, reach out before it fades away.
You will find the warmth when you surrender.
Smile into the fear and let it play.
Chorus:
You wanna run away, run away and you say that it can't be so.
You wanna look away, look away but you stay cause' it's all so close.
When you stand up and hold out your hand.
In the face of what I don't understand.
My reason to be brave.
Hold on, hold on, so strong, time just carries on.
And all that you thought was wrong is pure again.
You can't hide forever from the thunder.
Look into the storm and feel the rain."
Tyler: the next act is a special one it is Emily Kmetko who is Brian's sister and Robert Riley from the Broadway show walk of light into the darkness singing for good which was Brian's favorite song from their show.
"I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?"
(After they sang Emily was wiping away tears and Robert hugged her and they walked off stage)
Tyler: The next performer of the night is Lea Michele singing her song Battlefield from her album louder.
"Oh oh
You and I, we have to let each other go
We keep holding on but we both know
What seemed like a good idea's turned into a battlefield
Peace will come when one of us puts down the gun
Be strong, for both of us,
No please, don't run, don't run
Eye to eye we face our fears
Unarmed on the battlefield
We seemed like a good idea... (x2)
No blood will spill if we both get out
now, still it's hard to put the fire out
What seemed like a good idea's turned into a battlefield"
Tyler: The next performer of the night is Racal Flatts singing here comes goodbye.
"I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And it's not like her to drive that slow, nothing's on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell
Here comes goodbye
Here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
the first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
and she was right here in my arms tonight
But here comes goodbye"
Tyler: the last performer of the night is Ingrid Michaelson singing without you
"did what I did for you I did what I could
I did what I don't know how
You did what you did for you you did what you would
I don't know I don't know now
My life will grow my love will go
My life will go, my love will grow
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Everything moves save for me everything will move
I just don't know how to know
But somebody will make me fall somebody will try
Then I will just go and go "
