Writing101: An even that was cancelled for real

I was really looking forward for this event. I’ve never been to a real concert so I decided to go. This was a band that had been a teen favorite in the 80’s. They had a lot of great hit songs. Like a lot bands out there, they had their share of problems. Band members left and were replaced with others. From 5 members to 4 and then to 3. They had released albums in 3 decades. One was more popular than others. Despite all the problems, the band didn’t stop of being. In 2000’s they were 4 members again and a new album was out. I liked them for years but became even a bigger fan in this century. When they announced they would come on tour to my country, I was so excited.

I bought a ticket and started to plan in my head how to get there, what to wear and so on. But then something happened. It was like an evil force had decided it wasn’t the time. The doctor to the band’s singer had forbidden for him to sing. He had to rest his voice or he could lose it altogether. The whole tour was in jeopardy. So all I could do was wait.

Then the day came, the concert date was postponed. The ticket master said “hold on to your ticket” and so I did. I should had seen it coming. I could have asked my money back. It was 52 euros after all. It’s easy to say it now. The whole tour was cancelled altogether.

What if that evil force would take that dream away for good. To see Duran Duran live in concert. Since I saw the video to “The Reflex” I wanted to see them. Maybe their next tour won’t reach my country. Too expensive to go abroad. Maybe my courage will fail me and I won’t dare to take that step. A step that seems difficult to me, be in big crowds. The day I decided to buy the ticket. It was a day I had decided I would get to that concert no matter what. I had never been that determined in my life. Maybe that chance will never come again. That evil force might cancel every concert and event on this planet forever. No more fun ever a again. That wouldn’t be very nice, would it?

I’m your nightmare

nightmareTune of… and there I hit a problem. I can’t rewrite songs. So I decided just to write lyrics of my own. If you can call it that. Inspirations from lyrics to ‘Lonely in your nightmare‘ by Duran Duran and ‘Welcome to my nightmare‘ by Alice Cooper. Also an inspiration of that photo I took from the cabin in the woods. I mean the cabin of the cruise ship 😉

Nightmare

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I come in at night and wait by your bedside
I watch you when you sleep

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I’m gonna take a look in your mind
I’m gonna scare your good dream away

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I find your weak spot
I haunt your mind while you sleep

I’m your nightmare, let me in
I’ll give you a dream you never forget
You’ll wake up screaming

I’m your nightmare, you let me in
And my work is done

Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare

Writing 101: They’re playing our song

Choose 3 songs, yeah right. Where will I found those? I have no special memories of any songs. I liked so many over the years. One thing is for sure, music in the 2000’s is crap. Most of them. Classics rule. Ok I got those three songs, you asked for.

Pray- Take That

American’s probably don’t know who they were (still are) But they were a boyband from Manchester, England. They were popular in the 1990’s. The were 5 guys who danced and sang. Won’t go into details. This was their first number one in the UK. The video was shot in Acapulco. I loved the band. They were my teenage crush. You people don’t know what you missed. Backstreet boys, who?

A view to a kill- Duran Duran

My mum taped songs from the radio and this was one of them. It’s a theme song for the James Bond movie, A view to a kill. That’s all. Duran Duran is still the bomb.

Hand on your heart – Kylie Minogue

I remember this song but I never remember what it is called, I remember the video though. I always wished she would be my sister. Some kind of substitute to my own sister. Kylie just seemed down to earth and someone who could be there for you. Later I have found the song on GrooveShark and I still love it.

Phew I made it. 15 minutes up.
