slipped away.
"i didn't get around to kiss you
goodbye on the hand.
i wish that i could see you again,
i know that i can't.
i hope you can hear me
'cause i remember it clearly
the day you slipped away
was the day i found
it won't be the same"
[Avril Lavigne - Slipped Away live @ Budokan]
avril lavigne wrote this song for her grandfather, who passed away while she was on her first tour in europe. the day he died she was playing in dublin.
„i just wanna say, the show tonight goes out to my granpa who passed away today“,
she said and then sang her song „tomorrow“, crying.
i went to an avril concert in dusseldorf, september 27 2004, her 20th birthday.
she doesn’t play „slipped away“ live very often, but this time she did.
i’ve never experienced anything like this.
the audience went silent as she starting playing the piano.
no one was singing but avril.
goosebumps.
people were frozen, some girls were crying, silently.
it was just avril and the piano.
after the song she got the biggest applause ever –
and if we weren’t already standing there would have been
standing ovations!
- Oma, even though it's been more than 10 years, I still miss you every single day! -

Hey, ich freue mich immer sehr über Feedback und ein paar nette Worte, gerne auch negative (konstruktive!) Kritik. Also raus damit! :)
Was ich allerdings nicht leiden kann, sind (anonyme) Beleidigungen, die werden gar nicht erst veröffentlicht. Ebenfalls unveröffentlicht gelöscht werden Anfragen auf "gegenseitiges Folgen" oder Einladungen zu Blogvorstellungsaktionen und Gewinnspielen, die nur dazu dienen Follower zu sammeln.
