I’ve been watching, I’ve been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I’ve been searching, I’ve been living
For tomorrows all my life!!!

In some sense very true for many of us, we all are in shadows and are waiting for a moment to show the world what we are capable of..just waiting for our time…

Many times you like a music band, when you can relate to what they are singing or when their concept appeals you!! I had already told once my facination with the concept of death and the world beyond and anybody who sings about it in an out-of-this-world style are my favourites. For ex. Evanescence, Linkin-park and The Rasmus. They and their songs just dont belong to this world…its truly out of this world.

I first happened to hear Rasmus, when i accidently heard one of their super hits “In the Shadows”….the moment i heard it ..i was in look for other songs of the band…i knew i would love it…and i bumped into their Album “DeadLetters” ..my favourite. For few weeks i used to heard them everyday…..and some songs takes me to another world….the world of my pasts and probably my futures…

When i heard they are coming to bangalore, i knew i had to be there, since they were not that popular here there was no problem for tickets and i went with my friends RP,Sameer and Anoop. The chill, the light drizzle just adding to the already chill atmosphere made more chiller by the band….and yeah they sang all my personal favourites.

Let me end with lines of one of my favourite song..whenever i hear it, I always remember my brother and always a strange feeling of sadness and ephemeral nature of world…for a moment i wonder what the hell am i doing here…

I wish you were here tonight with me to see the northern lights.
I wish you were here tonight with me.
I wish I could have you by my side tonight when the sky is burning.
I wish I could have you by my side.

(You dont know how i wish he was by my side)

Burns like a thousand stars.
Though you are light years away.
Burns like a thousand stars or more.
You’re up there, you’re always with me,
smiling down on me.
(Those memories are all i have now)
