A Wonderful Night with Bunbury

April 4th of 2009 was the best day that I have ever had. I remember perfectly that day as it had been yesterday. It was a warm and sheltering day, and the air had that fragrant smell of spring time “flowers and green trees”. There my best friend Fernando and I were together waiting excited to get into the concert. I had waited so much time for his coming, and finally my dream was coming true. I did not even care about the six hours that we had to wait to get into the concert, because my pleasantness was more than that. The concert environment, Bunbury’s performance and all the mixed emotions that I experienced made my night unforgettable.

A stinky environment for an awesome night. When we were already there I could notice that all the people were so desperate, because Bunbury was not on the stage. Nevertheless, when Bunbury arrived to the arena that anxiety turned into a great feeling and happiness. Well, I have to say that the scent was not so gentle to the nose at that moment, because all the people were very tight which caused many of them to start sweating as pigs. However, it did not ruin my perfect night. The view was stunning, when lights were off, thousands of stars lighted our faces and the tenuous lights from the stage gave us an awesome shadow spectacle. Although, the rotten smell surrounded us; the environment was fantastic, after all Bunbury was there especially for us.

His presence was the best part of the concert. I loved the way he looked that night, his clothes were the combination of a rock star and a country star. Furthermore, I liked how his skin looked white as snow and those impregnated traces on his arms. I also fell in love with his deep green eyes, they reflected passion and desire for his music. I was absolutely lost in his voice, specifically the voice that showed the love and the pain in his heart. Moreover, I had never seen someone playing the guitar that way, his fingers crossed the strings gently and passionately. Those things made me love him even more.

The mixed feelings that I experienced in his concert were gorgeous. I like the way he writes his songs; they are deep and full of sensibility. Especially the song “El Rescate”, which reminded me when I was in love with my first love “Edgar”. This song talks about unconditional love and my first love said that it was our song. When Bunbury was singing this song I felt glad and cheerful, because I was listening to my favorite song in the whole world. However, I also felt gloomy and melancholic, because I remembered those lovely days with Edgar that I did not have any more. At that moment I missed Edgar a lot. Despite that, I felt very enthusiastic and joyful, because that night Bunbury sang marvelously.

That concert was perfect and nothing else was needed. There I was enjoying my night with my best friend and with my favorite singer. The fact that the environment was cool, Bunbury was there, and all the emotions I could feel made my night the best happening of my life. Now I know that if I had the opportunity to attend a Bunbury’s concert again, it would not be the same emotion and happiness. Any of the concerts in this world are compared with the one that I attended. For all these reasons I had beautiful night with Bunbury.
