We’re here
together again. It has been a long time since you arrived here in 1982 and I
saw you by first time. These memories in an old indoor stadium next to the
magic mountain which would be Olympic years later are unforgettable. You’ve been
always with me. You’ve been my best partner when I was alone in a road, in a
new city, in a new adventure. You can’t imagine how I have changed listening to
you.
People say
that music is universal and I agree but, in your case, you’ve joined the best
sound of an incredible band with the most beautiful and strong lyrics. I can’t
pay attention to a song if I don’t understand its lyrics and I don’t love a
song if these lyrics don’t say anything to me that make me think.
You’re my
conscious even in the best moments. You’re this voice that keeps me alive, with
my feet on the ground looking around and pressing my teeth strongly when the
world becomes more and more difficult to understand it and when staying in it
is a question of surviving and fighting every day.
I would like
that, tonight; you dedicate some songs to my families. They’re good people who
are trying to improve their English knowledge and although you’re not the best
for listening (dear, you close your mouth too much when you sing), you’re the
best poet and the best ambassador of dignity and hope.
Today, I’ve
spent some hours with The Holmes. They had an important appointment and they’ve
done a great job, because the most difficult is having courage enough to do
things, even when you know that you’re against the wind. It has been an enormous
pleasure staying with them again. How many memories! When I was with them, I remembered The
Collins and The Addams two incredible families who shared the same experience.
Nowadays, I
continue my travel with The Poppins. They’re another good and hard-worker family
with a great sense of humour and they’re incredible artists. Tonight, they’re
in Stockholm. They’re going to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. They have
more possibilities but, like with the other families, they must believe in
them. They must be strong and persistent and they must trust on their future.
We can’t know what is going to happen tomorrow but we can fight the future. We
must do it.
Well, in a few hours we’re standing together again. Only one more petition: please, play Bobby Jean and Thunder Road for my families and me.
