It's long overdue, I know. It came at a time when I was busy preparing for my final semester exam. Now I'm ready to rekindle the moment with JM
It was a beautiful warm night even when autumn was drawing closer to the end. A week before JM was filled with never-ending assignments, lamenting to those who care to listen about the mental block and the lack of drive to continue till the end. I almost forgot about JM. Yeap I was that busy.
Arrived at Rod Laver Arena wishing that the impeded view gold class seat won't really impede the intimate chance to meet with JM. I was super elated to know that it was indeed a 'clear' and 'close-enough' view. Orianthi started the show with her crazy skills with the guitar. She's one hell of a guitarist and I secretly wished that I could play like her one day.
Then, came JM. The thrill and excitement was building up in my chest and then he started with Assasin. All I could think about was there he was, JM, standing right in front of me, singing with his beautiful voice and suddenly I was floating. Okay I know, I exaggerate a lot there. But hey, it was JM please. I was captivated, mesmerized and content. I might sound bias cos he is one of my favourite musician but sometimes, putting aside his big mouth, there is no need of an extravagant stage or elaborate costumes, just JM and his guitars (not to forget his awesome band) are enough to keep me motivated for the whole week.
My favourite part of the show was this (I was seated much much closer than this youtuber) -
It was the last encore song of the night. It was exactly how I wanted him to end the show. Although I had wished he would play Daughter and Friends, Lovers or Nothing, I am more than happy that he chose Gravity. I left the concert craving for more and vowing that I would one day see him again. Someday, I will.
