My music story : #14 : Bryan Adams Cassette

-

The UTC main campus had a lawn with a fountain in the middle. One day as we were playing in the lawn, I found a cassette. The cassette cover had a photograph of a tyre with “Bryan Adams, So Far So Good” written on it. I picked it up and took it home. I listened to that tape! I was hooked! I must’ve played that tape a million times! I didn’t understand the lyrics, but the music was out of this world! Nothing like I’ve heard before. My favorite song at that time on this cassette was ‘Run To You’! This was the only form of entertainment for me, listening to Bryan Adams. 

One more thing, after I found the casette, the next day, I saw a few kids looking for a casette. They were asking about it to everyone. I knew they were looking for Bryan Adams, yet, I looked away and did not tell them I have it. I actually stole the tape. I felt guilty stealing it and thought about it and decided to return it. But, it was too late. The kids looking for it left the campus and relocated to another country. I don’t know their names or anything about them. 

For many years I felt bad for stealing the tape, but I wouldn’t have experienced the amazing Bryan Adams’ music!

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
