Sometime I get very melancholy and drift in my mind of to some other
land. I lose my surroundings and replace them with a paradise and a world where
troubles melt into the sunset. In these moments deep in my mind I drift off to a
very quiet place and then it comes. The sounds of everything around e are amplified
so that the sound of just touching a surface or the wind in my hair gently
comforts me. In these moments the sound in my head turns to the music implanted
in my head and very often it turns to the Gorillaz – Hong Kong. I went to see
them with my son who was twelve at the time. The show was at the Fox Theater in
Detroit and we ended up against the stage placed there by an unknown elderly security
guard who just motioned us down from the 4th row (outside the
orchestra pit so not really the 4th row). When they played Hong Kong
I left the theater in an out of body experience and thank god when it was over
I was still standing next to my son.
As this is a part of me, I must post this.
