I miss my favorite group...
I've listen to a-ha's music since I was 11 years old and I heard "Take On Me". They saved me from my mother's music...I'm sure you've heard others use that phrase or you yourself used that phrase for whatever band or artist that makes you feel as I feel the guys.
I never got a chance to see them in concert though. LIVE that is. I have DVDs and Videos I've bought over the years but I never had a chance to actually see them. They have been too america a few times but something has always prevented me. The last time in 2010 was my health.
The guys are performing in solo works and with other bands and I collect that stuff too as much as possible and when the funds allow (Imports are pricy and sometimes it does take me a month or 3 to save up the money.) I just wish they didn't annouce their break up. It always gave me hope for more music...even if it was a false sense it was that idea. And Really These guys are so talented that it doesn't matter if it is them performing together or not it is amazing to hear what they come up with next But a small part of me does wish they never "OFFICIALLY" broke up.
It's kind of strange. I was so bummed going into 2011 about this event happening than 2011 actually happened. I lost my friend and Landlord when she killed herself and her family. I ended up my illness that doctors chalked up to Anixety or me just being fat and lazy was actually due to an umbilical hernia that was going inside of me for a long while. I would try to loose weight and only end up gaining weight. I became discourage with doctors and everything.
So When things started to Calm down at the Beginning of Feb (my landlord took her life and her family around this time last year.) I started getting sick one night. Throwing up a lot. I figured it was the flu. I spent a long night up throwing up. My husband came home from his night shift and after arguing about going to the hospital (I didn't want to go because I didn't have insurance.) He took me and I ended up needing emergency surgery to deal with the Hernia. The Hour long operation ended up taking 3 hours because it was that big. It even surprised the doctor who -from what my husband said-was amazed how big it was. While in the hospital I developed a BAD case of Pneumonia I was down to 1/4th of a lung and in ICU. I only remember 3 things about my time in ICU. When they just got me in They needed to put this IV like thing in a vein in my neck and it had 5 mini IV outlets that allowed them to slam my body with medication. (My veins in the arms collasped countless times. Before I went to ICU.
and not druggy reason or anything My veins just couldn't handle the IV) Next thing I remember is a dream I had. A friend said it was a dream of the future because 2 of the girls in the dream holding babies now have babies. The third thing I remember was hearing a-ha's music. It was so vivid I honestly believed my husband sneaked into my room (wasn't allowed near me because he had walking pneumonia) put my headphones on me and played their music on my MP3 player. I may sound like a fruit case or I should be put in a psych ward but I honestly think their music helped me get better.
I just wish more would come.
