From Germany to Boy Sets Fire
Hey guys,
thank a lot. A fucking lot. More than just alot - thanks for being the best band
ever, for me. I enjoyed being with you so much, you gave me more than any other
band, during the shows, during listening to you albums. I'll miss you a lot. I
hope you won't be councelling the next tour dates, as I've just ordered tickets
for Rock am See and Rock in Idro just because of you.
I've seen you guys on stage a few times now. I'm from Germany, I'm German. A lot
of the social criticysm doesn't directly cover me, but I accept it from my
heart. I try to understand, get as much as I can get, and the lyrics thrill me.
I love them, in every song, they reflect my thoughts, although I can't protest
to the government as much as I would wish to, and although I accept many points
of my government, which you probably dislike.
The main part is - I love your music. The lyrics. You on stage. I was close to
tears when I just saw you will stop playing music. I knew that day will happen,
but.. damn. This is hard. I wish you guys so much luck over the next years, over
your whole lives. You gave me a lot. Thanks for that!!
Oh man. Just fucking today I finally got your Live For Today EP. Now I have ALL
of your records. Today. Dude. :)
Oh man. This is hard for me. I love your music. You'll always be a part of my
life. I hope to catch you on tour over the next weeks. I.. yeah.. love you. I
wanted to write you after your last Lindau gig, which I found to be the best
show EVER in my life, where I kicked out a guy who spit on Nathan where he was
quite pissed off by the crowd - glad he didn't recognize, that dude was only
drunk and not right there - but even thought Nathan was in a bad mood, he made
such a huge show. The whole crew did. It was so impressing to me.
Well, yeah. I know this was not what you wanted to happen - but I WILL cisit you
as often as I can until you're out of business. I'm planning to see you four
times, but probably it's only gonna happen three times due to university. But it
will happen, and I'll probably have tears in my eyes at the last show. :-)
Thanks for being a part of my life over the last years. Thanks for still being
there in the next years (your songs will be)!
I.. yeah.. love you. Not in a way it should make you be scared, but yeah, I love
you. *nods his head*
Thanks!!

Word. I just can underline every word.
It's really really hard to lose a band who has influenced you so much.
It really feels like a good friend or a family member has died. Or maybe not died... maybe moved to the end of the world. Because ... there's always a possibility to see them again. They're not dead. Maybe in a few years they'll say that this retiring was a bad decision. Maybe they'll come back. I hope so.
I can't imagine my life without BSF-Shows anymore. I've seen them 10 times till today. And I'll see them twice (minimum) again. But I guess that'll be very hard. To look into their eyes without starting to cry. Almost impossible.
The whole day I listened to their music and it made me cry. I watched the DVD from cologne (I've been to this show) and that also made me cry. I wore my BSF-Shirt today. I felt better with that on.
All I can say is that they'll always be in my heart. You can't forget what you've once loved so much. I'll always love them. But it's really hard to know that there'll be no more records, no more shows, no more discussions about politics... nothing.
It's heavy. If I'd have the money, I would go to every concert from now on. I'd even fly over to america to see the last show. Damn. I'm a fucking poor girl... :-/
So RIP, Boysetsfire. In our hearts you'll live forever.
I'll always go on missing you!
