Thank you so much Suzanne for sharing your thoughts with us- I had no idea you were sick.
I missed out on seeing you the last time you were in Sydney and have been waiting since then- in that time, I finished high school, a 6 year uni course and have been working 7 years. I joined Undertow, in its original form way back in my first year of uni. All our lives have changed so much since then. So last night was so special as it reminded me of the years where your music has been an ever-present soundtrack and comfort.
The show was intimate and perfect- a show of secrets and revelations; of the new and the old. The stunning lyricism of Beauty and Crime was amplified with such clarity. And, whilst In Liverpool made me shiver with its ebb and flow, it was Rosemary that made me cry.
All in all, it was such a wonderful culmination to all those years of waiting. I thought about this as I stood in line to meet you Suzanne- trying to think of something clever to say. Of course, when it came to it- it was all gushing and nothings. I actually think I muttered something to the effect of 'it has been so long' (that was not a reference to the sigining queue!). I'm sure you realise the impact you've had on the lives of the droves of loyal fans around the world- I hope you do.
I do hope that the success of the Sydney concert means you will be back soon (though we all understand 24 hours is a lot of time to spend on a plane!!)
Love Katie
