So, my dear friends, what's new happening here?
May 26th has been one of the most beautiful and extraordinary days of
my life! It was the day Nick Cave gave a concert in St.Petesburg. You know, the last
six months his music played a very important role for me. The night before the
concert I slept very bad and terribly worried. There was a feeling
that I'm going on a first date XD I wanted to look like
something special. So I chose a black
pencil dress with cherry print, high-heeled shoes and fasinator with a veil. I came to the
concert hall one hour before the show. A small crowd of
fans has been waiting for Nick at the stage door and I joined them. It seems to me, it
took 70 minutes until the car with musicians appeared. Unfortunately Nick
just waved his hand and left. But I realized that
my legs are literally fall off due to uncomfortable shoes. Fortunately, the
concert was supposed to be a chamber, and I had a ticket for a seat. Someone caught me in the crowd waiting for King Ink:
(I'm looking so frightened here! I can't watch without laughing)
Finally the show started.
Nick came out, greeted the audience and played one of his slow songs. What was my surprise
when, at the beginning of the second song, half of the audience stood up from
their seats and rushed to the scene! I thought that this
was my chance too and ran after them. So after doing this I was two-three
meters away from the scene. Nick was simply
divine! He was in contact with the audience constantly, shaking hands with
everyone, communicate with us, joked, danced. Meanwhile, my feet
again made themselves felt. Well, I couldn't
think of anything better than simply take off my shoes :) Yes, I was at the
concert of Nick Cave barefoot! I hope it was dark enough and no one saw... I was absolutely
happy to be much closer to Nick than originally expected. But those people who
bought very expensive tickets to the first row - not at all. They asked the guards
to disperse those who hindered them watching. Security began to
press people, but instead of getting away from the scene, I was even closer! But...my dress was
torn...Whoops! So, I'm standing
barefoot and in tattered clothes in one meter away from Maestro. Well done! I thought,
ok, I have nothing to lose. And start my path towards Nick. In the end I found
myself in the front row! Hell, this worth it all! Goodness, I feel
dizzy at the thought that King Ink was even holding my hand! I was the happiest
person on earth! Nick Cave is a real
magician or shaman. His ritual movements fascinate. And what's make me more happier is that at the end of the
show I was able to get the paper with set list! So, my legs hurt
terribly and clothing was damaged, but I touched the cold hand of Nick,
received a present and heard my favorite songs! I'm in love! After the show, I was trembling from overstimulation and could not stop. Again I slept very
bad, and the morning after was feeling just awful. The tale was over. If you will allow me to compare Nick Cave with drugs,
he is definitely heroin. Mad euphoria and grave condition after. I swear, I
even felt pain. Now I like learning to live again. Everything falls into place.
Nevertheless, I repeat, it was one of the brightest days of my life...
