January 20, 2008. 5 days before my 21st birthday. The best birthday gift ever: seeing my favorite band live. 5:30: already in front of the Clud Soda. We want the best: front row, nothing less! Excitment is at its highest level: I still can’t realize I’m seeing Editors live tonight. 9:40...here they are. Russell, Ed, Chris and Tom are in front of me. I’m almost crying of happiness.’Bonsoir’ Oooh...Tom can speak french, so sweet! Bones(wow...I still can’t believe they’re live in front of me). An End has a start(Electric!). All Sparks(wouha. So beautiful!). Bullets (let’s rock!). Escape The Nest (Still can’t believe it.....). The weight of the world (How can they be so good?).Lights (Oh wow! Oh wow!).Blood (Could they be better?...no!). When anger shows (so intense...so beautiful...). Spiders (Piano. Wouha. ‘Hold out your hand’). The Racing Rats (Tom at his best). Munich (I’m starting to believe it...) ‘Editors! EDITORS! Editors!!!’ ‘Merci. Thank you.’ You are fading (Oooh. I didnt know this song...I looove it!). Smokers outside the hospital doors (my favorite song. I’m crying. It’s perfect. Happy birthday to me.). Fingers in the factories (let’s rock for one last time...Wouhaa...wait...Tom is playing guitar at a distance of 2 inches from my face...wouhaaa!). ‘Merci...’ :(. I can’t believe it’s over. It was so perfect. Now let the perfect dream continue...Can I meet Tom Smith? Let’s try, eh! It’s -30 outside. But for me, meeting Tom Smith would be like meeting like...Elvis??? So we waited. 1h30 later: Here they are. Tom and Russell, so adorable! I can’t believe I’m chatting with Tom Smith. I’m really emotionnal. ‘I love you so much. You’re my best birthday gift...’ ‘Oh happy birthday’(love the british accent). And the hug. And the smiles. And all these memories from the show. Was it a dream, tell me?”
