Melancholy And The Infinite Sadness
Its 2.25 am sunday mornin.....cant sleep yet....had a Hoegaarden earlier so im just chillin in my room watchin Beyond's last concert...i was just diggin thru my cd collection an i found the vcd for their 20th aniversary concert which was their last ever gig(supposedly).....for those who dont know, Beyond was and still is the biggest Hong Kong rock band ever...the band was formed the same year i was born....anthems and songs about friendship, being strong and personal experinces intertwined with electric guitar riffs haf made Beyond famous beyond its borders stretching all throughout south east asia an into China ....theyve made a huge impact on my music and life in highschool
I never actually watched the whole vcd but after doin so i feel so melancholic now....it was touching so see how down to earth they were wen talking to their fans....being their last concert, it was so much more stiring.....it reminded me of my old band days in high school.....i remember having gigs at Interect and Leo club events like International Understanding Nites....i remember the biggest crowd we played in front of was 1200 ppl....it might not seem like a large crowd now, but back then it was awesome!...i can still remember the crowd response wen we played Till I Hear It From You....it was crazy!....theres no better reward than getting a loud cheer from the crowd....i remember how i just wanted to play music an nothing else...i spent half my life at the jamming studio in SS2 practicing fer gigs an watching fellow bands create music....its was bliss back then.....we just wanted to make music forever....play gigs, make albums, and just do wat we were passionate about...nothing else mattered
But then after 2 years, the band grew older and we just drifted apart pursuing different interests....i guess one of the reasons we didnt pursue music anymore was because the music industry was bad....there wasnt enough support and it was difficult to get a label....so we just decided to move on.....i was hit really bad by the separation of the band but wat could i do?....we just needed to move on....so much for a passion and a vision that would never be reality.....so here i am 5 years later writing bout my old band.....i miss those guys....havent spoken to them in ages...hope theyre doin olrite....
Sometimes life can really hit u in the chest....things and people that you used to cherish arent there anymore....friends u used to be so close to are so distant now.....i really regret that i didnt hold them closer....more than often we just keep taking for granted our friends an the ppl that mean so much to us.....why is it we onli realise things after its too late?....i think i just need to sleep it off.....sigh
