Most of the
times you listen to some new music, you get bored, or interested, or you may
think “wow cool”, but never think about it again.
You may
think “wow cool” and then dig a little bit, spotify, youtube, social media, it’s
quite easy now.
Sometimes
it clicks, something happens in the head or in the heart or in the gut, and
that song remains with you, and you get interested, eventually you become a fan
and start following the artist/band. This happened to me quite a lot of times,
but I’m not going to enumerate them.
In the Italian
language there is a phrase that indicates the love at first sight, and it’s “colpo
di fulmine”, litterally “bolt of lightning”, because that is the exact feeling
that you get sometimes, very rarely.
Because
sometimes music may hit you so hard, like a supersonic bang, leaving you incredulous
and dazed and asking to yourself “what the fuck just happened?”
And this is
exacly what happened seven months ago, when I first saw The RavenEye playing as
support for The Darkness. I’m still a bit stuck there, that day. When I
chose my spot to be in front of Frankie Poullain and instead I happened to be
in front of Aaron Spiers.
Fuck it,
what a mess.
Sometimes I
would like to scream “I want my heart back!”
Yeah,
because sometimes it hurts a bit, because going to their gigs is so fucking
difficult from here.
I sometimes
wished my heart could choose an italian band, that would have been a bit
easier.
But that’s
it. And that’s me now. We’ll see what’s going to happen next.
This is the
song in particular that did the spell. Or the wreckage, it depends on the day.
