Lucky her~? cx

Today, I got a call from my father a bit before eight asking me to join him to a concert, since Madeleine Peyroux was in Toronto for one night and one night only. I'd heard her voice many times before, my father was and still is an avid fan of Jazz, so he always played the music at home.
I didn't really believe I would end up going, but her voice rose somewhere from deep within my memory with the fleeting melody of "You're gonna make me lonesome when you go" (Bob Dylan's original). It brought back old and gentle memories from when we used to live together, and suddenly in fifteen minutes I was already there.

It started out with a man I had never seen before (doesn't everything?), tall, stoic and far away, as his beautiful voice echoed through the hall, oh I thought it was going to melt in my seat. He ended his last song with asking everyone else to sing along, though the crowd seemed shy, so he exclaimed "Come on~ singing is a sign of sexual confidence" and so the room burst. And when that was over he casually invited us over to his merchandise table since he claimed to be quite approchable, he said "The difference between American celebrities and Canadian celebrities, is that Americans have bodyguards and Canadians have name-tags" C':
I managed to scamper through the crowds with a twenty in my fist, and even got it signed by him Royal Wood,
My father wanted to take a photo of me and him, but I couldn't seem to stand there for more than a second I was so riled up by his presence, I only caught a quick glimpse from my one eyed curtain; of his stubbled chin and smile(god forbid I looked any higher) as he thanked me and then I fleed once again.

I promptly returned to my seat as the real show began, Madeleine in a long coat and loose braid down her back welcomed me with her warm voice, as I slipped back into this low sounding blissful mode. I didn't think it was possible to lose your breath sitting down, but it felt as if I was colliding with a never ending stair of clouds that could actually catch me. The bass is my helium, as she said "Lose your sense of lines, and lose your sense of passing time"

I don't think I could thank my mother enough for losing her time.

Anyhow, I'd like to dedicate this [link] to *Mahkohime and her fiance who are getting married this summer c:
