Ray.
As some of you may know, I'm a huge fan of Ray Lamontagne's. When I heard he was gonna play in Paris on sept. 23rd I just bought my ticket and booked my trip there (I am now back in Lille, an hour train away). My dad knew how much I love him so he paid me back the concert fee which was just lovely, and he also decided to come with me since he was gonna be in Paris for a congress.
Anyways, I was already hugely excited to see him play. While waiting to enter the venue, we saw him going out for some air through the back door and turn into a backstreet with his musicians. A girl went there, came back and showed us her signed CD. My dad was like "you should go to, you've brought your CD for this kind of occasion". I was reluctant at first because I know how much Ray is shy and I didn't want to disturb but on the other hand, I love him so much I had to try.
So I went there, and hadn't I only seen him that my brain just started to freeze. I apologized for the bother, gave him my CD and suddenly burst into tears. Even now, just thinking about it and I wanna cry. I don't know but it was like my brain just stopped, like there was a shortcut between my heart and my body because I wasn't even analyzing the situation like "Ray is standing in front of me" all I could do was express my love and cry. Like i'm not a fan of Ray's in the sense where i'm like "omg he's totally writing about my feelings, i can relate to his songs so much". It's more, idk, more emotional, like i just love what he does, it's just like art to me. So anyways, i was crying so much and just babbling about how long i waited to finally see him that he just took me in his arms. Because you have to know he's among the shyest persons on earth, like he wasn't talking much at first but when i cried and couldn't stop, his eyes started shining with tears and he just hugged me, against his nature.
The concert afterwards was great, but this emotion i felt when i saw him and talked to him. So much worth the wait.
