Neil and Chris...
"I believe, call me naive, that love is for free"...
Call me naive... but I write this with the hope that you'll read it if sometime you come across with my blog...
... so... anybody who'd like to can read this, but... I'll write it as if it was addressed just to you... no matter if you never see it... and no, this is not a sign of madness... just... maybe... a sign of a "little pretty madness" for the Pet Shop Boys...
... feelings... are there words for them?... I guess no, really... words are never enough to capture not even a bit of that love and fascination... and sometimes words even imprison the deepest feelings we've got inside...
Then I get back to your music, and everything's there.
Your lyrics.
Grateful.
I must be about fourteen when I first saw your "Always on my mind" film for this song being played on a tv music channel, and even less when I listened to "West end girls" being played on a radio here at home, and I guess that was the first time I heard of you.
That's a long time ago... but since then it's been my dream to know you personally someday.
I love your songs, I'm just a Pet Shop Boys admirer... or call it a fan... whatever... labels are not my thing, really... but I only go to see your shows, when you come to Buenos Aires... something that should happen more often, as I'd wish to...
In fact... this will be the third time I'll see you on stage... because I've already seen you live twice, in 2004 when you played at the Personal Fest, and in 2007 when you brought your Fundamental tour show to the Luna Park.
But I never got to meet you.
I remember both times very clearly...
... but your appearance at the Personal Fest in 2004 particularly marked me...
That time, when your show ended, I stayed myself staring at one side of the stage -your left-, so at that moment, Neil, you walked down the stage in a rush, and walked quickly towards the car that was waiting for you there.
Chris must have been already into the car, because I didn't notice him.
So... I run towards the fence, to see Neil get into the car that was just a few metres away from me, but I didn't reach him. Sad. I'd have liked to say something to Neil.
So the car started to move off, and I just stayed there, a bit frustrated I guess now...
... that's a vivid image in my mind, actually... somehow frustrating I guess, or maybe it's just about seeing its inspiring side... but probably it's just part of loving an artist...
... in spite of that... to see you live on stage singing the songs I've always loved is quite an experience that has always left marks in me, in my heart, my feelings, my life; and there are no words for that feeling.
... now... I'm anxious to see you in October... and... it's not easy to wait two or even three years time to see you again... so... let me tell you this... maybe you'll think it's corny... or maybe it's just another sign of that what I call a "pretty madness" for the Pet Shop Boys... but it's just that, when your show ends, I'm already wondering when you'll come again...
... so... this will be the third time I'll see on stage... and my wish of meet you personally someday is always in my heart.
I guess that... these are beautiful lyrics to end up my little lines... I'd like to say... quoting you, "In the air I can feel something magical becoming real"...
