A Bic Runga Concert


Stefi had bought tickets to a concert while I was still back in Malaysia.
She had text'd me to let me know.
I was left without a choice but to go with her.
The money had been paid.
The tickets were already collected.

And, I never even knew who would be playing...

On the night of Thursday this week, I had gone for a concert.
It was at Hamer Hall in the Arts Centre.
It was the theatre just off St Kilda Road, after the National Gallery.





Bic Runga... She was playing.

Who is she?
She ia s New Zealander singer+songwriter that is apparently one of the Kiwi's better exports.
Stated in around 1995 with a charming song called Drive.
Look her up on her website at Bic Runga.
And especially read her Biography.
It is interesting to say the least... her list of acheivements.

She won international acclaim for her song Sway taken off the first American Pie movie soundtrack.

Don't you know?...


Sway
by Bic Runga

Say you'll stay
Don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you...







All I can say about the concert is 'MMMmmm...'
It is not the 'mmm...' of disinterest nor the feigned contentedness after a meal.
This is 'mmm...' of having a soak in a warm bath after a long day.
Or, getting my back lighly scratched.
*winks*



I found the concert to be relaxing.
It was a great show.
Her voice is unique... it can be smooth and soothing and yet sexy.
Stefi commented that she has this voice that is sensual.
I agree... sexy and sensual, like velvet.

It was a very evocative perfomance with her songs making me remember...
