I burn for you

Yesterday we bought last minute tickets to see Johnny Clegg and I have been blown away. I have always liked this guy, I guess it's because his Best Of is the very first CD we bought in the 90's, my older brother picked it, so I've heard him so many times. But also I like who he is, his energy and what he does, I guess the world needs people like him.
Yesterday we had the feeling the stage was only filled with joy. I was very happy to hear all the songs I had been dancing on when I was young. I even got a present in the end, when he performed the very last song (Dela) where he says "I burn for you" many times. We were in front of the stage, a bit on the side, and at some point he came right in front of us and danced a bit, then raised his arms, of course everyone did the same around us, I was blissfully smiling. The lights were on him, and then he pointed at me and sarted singing again: "I burn for you", looking into my eyes... People around were looking at me. Then he looked at my man, me again, my man, smiled and sang "and I burn for you too" pointing at him. That was a great moment. I just felt as if he had heard the thoughts floating in my head. This is what I like the most in life: connections, even extremely short like this one.

Right after the show, the security guard came to me with a smile, picked the playlist sheet from the stage and gave it to me.

Now I hope you have a nice week-end!

  2. Bon entre-temps mon frère m'a dit qu'il avait fait ça aussi à une copine avec qui il avait été à un de ses concerts... J'imagine que c'est son truc, mais ça n'enlève pas la force de ce moment !
