Agh, that's it.

Walking past the beergardens today, a band was doing their sound check for the performance later in the evening.

I know this: I'll never be able to attend a band concert again* without breaking down in tears in front of the stage until I can be a part of the stage.

It's not adoration.

It hurts that much.

Heck, it hurts enough to just walk by an outdoor stage.


*I've actually watched a bunch of bands before, it was that DaveFest thing at SWC that grade 12 year. Tradition has it that it's mostly speeches, dancing, and rock band performances, but I went in singing a classical piece. Anyway, I remember being clearly enthralled by the bands.

— I must believe.
— If your will is to face your past, you must believe;
If your will is to face your future, you must believe;
If your will is to face your present, you must believe ever more so.
— I must believe...
— ...that you will walk through the ruins of triumph
In a moment that must pass on the way to eternal memory.
— Ruins?
— Yes. But you know that already.

The song isn't so new to me anymore, so this version of Solitary Ground should be a lot better than the old one (you can still find the old one on my inventory). I even hit a high D for the sake of hitting it in it (albeit a little squeaky)! (I scared myself at my choir re-audition on Wednesday because I hit B-flat in practice that morning and Bob said I did E-flat at the audition.)

Other notable words this week:
My comments regarding the Fishmaster 'misheard lyrics' video (search YouTube for this), supposedly "for one of [my] anti-NW moments":

those moments are almost 24/7, really.
That's why I only listen to my own version of their songs now :P

(er...99% of the time.)

Erm...yes, I've seen the Fishmaster video before.
In fact, I saw it when it was first posted. I don't like that song.
In fact, I don't like any of the songs on that album.

It's just this - the more I think about it, the more their lyrics suck, the more Tarja sucks, the more TH is a poser, and so on and so forth. Gah.

Bob's comment regarding my audition:
"Shortest audition in history."

Notes to self:

I do *not* love NW enough to warrant asking you to get the limited edition End of an Era DVD set (if there are even any left! It was *so* six months ago) for me, for the sole sake of the angel/demon bookends and the KTT instrumental track over the end credits of the documentary (which I have as MP3 and was using in my recordings already anyway).

However, I'm curious enough to want the nice velvet-covered NW coffee-table book when it comes out in English (is it even out yet? I've stopped keeping track of these things). Pity that I'm sure the translation will be horribly littered with spelling/grammar errors and I'd wish I could read Finnish, if only to be able to understand the nuances in the original text.

Either way, both are large and heavy and horribly expensive items... *sigh*
