Yay March the Party month
I woke up blurry eyed. Caught the time and I was late. Damn alarm hasn’t gone off today. Slowly got out of bed and washed my face. Went down. No time to eat only drink something. Whilst I’m about to drink my tea I pull out my phone. I manage to catch the time.
Its showing an hour earlier than it should be…
I check the clock. Its showing an hour earlier too…
I’ve woken up an hour earlier. huh how about that. No wonder the alarm didn’t go off. I’ve got time to eat w00t.
So I eat, then think what to do. Yes going back to bed crossed my mind. But instead I eyed the xbox and played a bit of good ol’ need for speed. : )
Anyway you may have noticed my banner image for the month of March. I will hopefully keep this as a regular thing with a new banner image for each month. So come back just to check on the banner image ok.
Also March is a crazy month for Birthdays as I have mentioned long time ago. So many birthdays.
A quoi bon dire
Seventeen years ago you said
Something that sounded like Good-bye;
And everybody thinks that you are dead,
But I.
So I, as I grow stiff and cold
To this and that say Good-bye too;
And everybody sees that I am old
But you.
And one fine morning in a sunny lane
Some boy and girl will meet and kiss and swear
That nobody can love their way again
While over there
You will have smiled, I shall have tossed your hair.
Charlotte Mew (1869 – 1928).

Tracy Chapman in concert
November 7th, Manchester Apollo theater, Tracy Chapman playing live, I’m so there.
Yes the area around Manchester Apollo theater is a dump and the people there aren’t ‘the crowed’ to be seen with. But a special singer song writer, was to lift the entire theater to new heights.
Although not strictly a fan before the night, one can’t help to admire talent such as this.
An unsigned artist opened the set, Ben Taylor who was quite a treat. Him on stage with just an acoustic guitar was quite something. Definitely worth keeping an ear out for.
Tracy Chapman arrived an hour after, to leave no doubt in any mind, how powerful and emotional her tracks are. Arriving with 2 others to complete her 3 piece band.
At one point after the stage suffered electrical problems. Chapman took the opportunity to sing ‘Behind the wall’ which is a solo track with no backing music. It was pretty awesome, very moving hard hitting lyrics, coupled with her powerful voice really made itself felt around the small theater. The cheers from the crowed showed its appreciation.
She plays the electric and acoustic guitar, amongst others, pausing between tracks to pick up different instruments. There were a few notable tracks played. ‘America’ was a new track with hard hitting drums. ‘Fastcar’ which everyone expected, was electric. ‘Change’ was the track which gave me chills. Along with others which I must admit not being familiar with.
The Manchester Apollo isn’t the best theater out there but the smaller crowed and being sat a few feet away from the stage really made a difference in appreciating a talented singer song writer as Tracy Chapman.
Tracy Chapman concert
So I have this friend who is a bit of a Tracy Chapman fan. She kind of introduced me to one of her tracks âfastcarâ?. I’m sure you’ve heard it, maybe can’t place it just right now.
Tracy Chapman released a new album âWhere you liveâ?around September. And to follow that up she’s toured around the US and is in the UK.
Long story short the words âYou’ll regret it if you don’t goâ? where uttered. But the tickets were not on sale.
So I was at work on Monday evening working late again (sux I know). I thought hey wonder if those tickets are on sale. Had a look at the site and there is like 3 tickets remaining!
Now Tracy Chapman is an amazing singer song writer. Credit card was in the wallet. Phone at hand. Two tickets were made mine.
Last Friday I woke up happy looking forward to something else other than work. I can’t wait. Going next week. I just hope I don’t end up crying on one particular track ;D
The one…
They say there is one for you. One soul who makes you feel…
Happy Valentin'o' Day
What It Is
It is madness
says reason
It is what it is
says love
It is unhappiness
says caution
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It has no future
says insight
It is what it is
says love
It is ridiculous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love
