Emotions Replayed

Watched the Concert For George 2001 on YouTube again.
Eric Clapton gives a nervy speech, Anoushka Shankar leads the Indian classical music troupe on a piece called "Arpan" which means to give, Ravi then says..

"i feel George's presence here tonight. how can he not be here?"

Jeff Lynn then combined with Anoushka (she's hot!) on sitar to perform The Inner Light. Fast forward and Paul is singing All Things Must Pass, a song which i think is so sweet for the soul, and you can feel the emotions that night, even when i'm watching it here in Malaysia on a 15inch monitor.
Eric Clapton then does While My Guitar Gently Weeps, another song that just grows on you with the raunchy guitar riff and the sad message of the song... Thats what i call bittersweet. Why doesnt he do the solo i dont know. And and Something! The song that inspired me to pick up ze instrument. Ringo comes out with Photograph and at this point, the lyrics is so T.T

Fastforward to the end of the concert.. Joe Brown comes on with a cute little ukelele and does I'll See You in My Dreams, with flower petals acting as confetti. Woah. Reason why i'm boring you with this is that, quite plainly, i wish i will live a life like George. Not Beatlemania, but the simplicity of mind. I'm not a plain fanatic like how teenage girls go gaga over Jason Castro but I look up to George. I really do. Granted, his Material World and Impermanence ideas are actually from Hindhuism (fyi he recorded Gopala Krishna..sweet vocals man) but its so real and deep. He truly embraced the spirit of it all and thats awesome because for somebody of his stature can easily get girl/drug/car/ but nope he didnt. And when his wife, Patti Boyd fell in love with his close friend Eric Clapton, instead of chopping Slowhand up, he decided that the love among them three was so strong that he was okay in the end, and continued to be close to Eric. This is then one of the reasons why i'm into THAT BAND and THOSE MEMBERS so much. You actually have a story and history.

SuYin told me what her friend told her so i'll tell you so that you can tell your friend lol -.-' like.. when i die, will there be people celebrating my life and raise their guitars for a toast to their beautiful friend?

And with my closing words.. If i could choose, metaphorically speaking la okay. As a light bulb, i wanna shine twice as bright and wouldnt mind blowing up in half the original duration as long as i know its a life less ordinary. When i mean shine, its not to be like...aiyah faham faham la. And when i mean ordinary its like the usual study hard, good grades, good job,city life,9-5 in office,stuck in traffic,save money,climb the corporate ladder,and worry about finances and chasing the bigger pie, bigger car,bigger house,and work work work my precious time away. That doesnt mean a dropout or borderline E grades in exams and staying at home watching porn, but just abit different. Nobody seems to have this view. That is why, for college people reading this, you may realize, and for friends and girlfriends ( lol okay that aint plural :p ), i happen to have a phrase from the song Strawberry Fields Forever stickered onto my Contract textbook.

"no one i think is in my tree, i mean it must be high or low."
