The thing about sunrise

The morning is always a welcome. To some, its a resurrection from the dead. An awakening to reality from the slumber of dreamland. For mua, a chance to wake up and face the ever glorious sun head on. Something you don't get these days living in the city.

And so its, my adventours in this island begins. The night before was fun. Which begins my story about ....the band

From my previous posting, I onced mentioned about the Band. How I so miss the times jamming to songs and stuff. Well, fate just so happens planted me into an opportunity of a lifetime. We stayed in a small challet resort called Langkapuri. Oklah, we cant really afford a lavish resort, so whatever that can spare us a bed, a decent toilet and aircond is fine by us.

Aha!!Unbeknowest to us, this challet houses the coolest most happening Rasta music bar amongst the whole Pantai Cenang. Crowds were starting to fill up by 10pm. After arriving around lunch time, and made an initial visit around the island, me and lil sis adjourned to the bar at quarter past 10pm. As me and lil sis were lounging at the back table, approached a guy, whom till this day I dont really remember his name. He offered us drinks and proceeded to chat about life, Langkawi and music.

He happens to know the band that was going to play. Lil sis sort of mentioned that I can play guitar and would like to jam. So the guy said he'll see what he could do. Right, around 11'ish, there was this fat bloke dressed in the customary tie-die outfit approcahing the stage and said the magical words," Hello out there. Its time to get high!!"

And THey Were Xcellent!!!!!!!!!!!11

The singer really had a good voice. Something like putting Seal, Sting and Bryn Adams all rooled into one. And the band, they were plain and simply magical. The thunes they carried out were non-reggea material but given the RAsta touch. What really made them different was they had this group of percussionist that added that jungle/tribal vibe to the music which was intoxicating.

That led the crowd wild and immedietly brought everyone to the dancefloor. Ok, so then they took a break afer 5 songs, which at this point my lil sis took the courage to ask if I could join the group and perform as extra gutarist. They said, its cool, sure.

So for the second set, after a couple of songs the group called me and the whats-his name to the stage to perform a couple of songs. The band was tight and the sound was was was it just made me remember why I fell in love with music in the first place.

Sort of like getting carried away with the music. THat night, I thought I died and went to heaven

So the morning dawn...thats me returning to earth
