Just an illusion

If you don’t know it, but I love 1980s music. When I saw the word “Illusion,” I thought of this 80s song. It’s ‘Just an Illusion’ by Imagination.

There is no music like this today. Songs that are as good in 30 years or more after their release. I think music has gone down in the 2020s. I can’t imagine those songs still sounding good decades later. At least not the same way as 1980s music. Or decades before. It’s just an illusion if it happens.

The thunder in my heart. Or Kylie

Kylie Tension Tour 25 billboard
Espoo Metro Arena, Finland June 23, 2025

The thunder in my heart. Or Kylie. Minogue Fun fact: When I was younger, I wished she were my sister. My sister died when I was 6, so perhaps that’s why. Then again, I also wished I had a brother who would protect me and be popular among girls. That has nothing to do with this, though.

I attended Kylie Minogue’s live concert on Monday, June 23. I have never been to her concert before, so I wanted to take the chance. She has been to Finland in concert three times before. It was held at the Espoo Metro Arena (where ice hockey is played), and it was extremely hot inside. I could have enjoyed the concert even more if it wasn’t for that (and the feeling in my left foot that I was getting a cramp), I had to buy water to survive. It was good, it was inside because it rained outside, so at least you stayed dry.

When the concert started, it was loud, and I didn’t know what song was on. Perhaps it was the seat I had. But you don’t care because it’s a concert where you see one of your favourite artists. I wanted to see Kylie in concert for a long time, and my dream came true. It was great to see such a diverse audience. It didn’t matter if you were straight or not; we were there to enjoy the show. And it was great. She’s such a nice person and took the audience in with open arms. When she sang the encore songs, many people stood up and danced even in the higher stands. All in all, it was a nice way to spend the day.

I have now attended three concerts: Toto, Duran Duran, and Kylie Minogue. Two more to go, Bryan Adams and The Rasmus (Finnish band), I hope I won’t have any problems with those. At the Duran Duran concert, I had an accident and I didn’t see the concert from the beginning, and in the Kylie one, I had a cramp fright.

Here are a few other photos from the concert.

I’ve had enough of thunder in my heart, and I don’t need more.

The half Duran concert 2025

Nostalgia

I looked forward to see Duran Duran live for the second time. I almost missed it because I had an slipping accident in my hotel room and had to go to the emergency room. It took so long so I thought I would miss the whole concert.

Fortunately I didn’t hurt myself that bad and I managed to get to the concert after all. I only saw half of the concert and I still blame myself for getting hurt. But no can do. I got to see the band and that I’m grateful for.

Duran Duran is my favourite band and I would have hated to miss it. They started their European tour from Tampere, Finland. We are honored 👍
Hopefully they will come back here in the future. Next time I make sure I see the whole concert.
