David,
Technically, I'm not one of your fans but I did see you at last year's Soul Power live concert in Hong Kong. I was standing behind the crowd at the exit from back of the stage after your show. Saw you waved, smiled, turned and left. It was the closest I've ever got, but yet, so far away, the worst way to miss you.
Before I could put my fingers on the keyboard, hundreds of messages from your fans had touched me to the core. How lucky could one be to have so many people's love and care! If your music talent is a gift from God, then the support and love from the fans and friends is definitely a blessing.
I guess I'm not "qualified" to be your fan because I've never attended any of the fan club's events or even made an apperance. Well, then I'm not. But that's not the point. Even at your concert last year, I found myself surprisingly calm and down. While the whole audience were waving, singing, enjoying your performance, I felt my heart was sinking, for no reason. I knew that you were there, up on the stage, doing the best you could for people who loved and cared about you but I just couldn't be part of it. I was so nervous about the concert, right from the day I knew about the concert. It's not what a fan should experience when their idol is having a concert. I thought I would be one of the excited girls who rushed to the front and hugged you, I wished...but I never did. Something unspeakable took me over and stoned me until the end of the show.
I was probably one of the last to leave. I found myself standing from behind the crowd who was waiting to see you come from back of the stage. Then, there you were, carrying a backpack, walking out of the gate. I couldn't make a sound, nor did I want to. I saw you there, fresh-looking as you always were, in distance.
On the way back, I was walking in the street, listening to your latest album Ultrasound. When "Lonely Season" started, finally, tears blurred my sight. There was this connection that I could not explain at that moment and it took me right there, in the middle of that summer night, in tears. For weeks, this song never got through without my tears. And I can't explain why. There has been nothing like that before.
This may be a place for your fans and supporters to post messages to appreciate you, encourage you and express their love for you. I'm sorry that I had the nerve to steal a few lines here. This is the only place that I know you might visit and by any chance, see my note. David, we are all lost, once in a while, only because when we find ourselves again, we will appreciate even more.
Life is a journey, a journey towards finding our true selves. There are ups and downs. Darkness may blind our eyes but it can never blind our heart and soul. The real power is from the soul. We shall not be afraid, no matter how hard it may seem. We are being tested of our will and we shall pass as long as we keep the faith.
Your fans will always be there to support you and continue to love you as they always do. It's your task to pass the powerful messages to people who love you and let them spread their love around the world. And eventually, you will find your love, someone that can share your world and listen to your soul.
When it's time, it will come to you. All you need to do is keeping the faith. Let God take care of the rest.
Take care,
LT
