Damn you Peter Nicholls!

It was a dream come true to see IQ live a few days ago. I'd been wanting to see them since circa 1990 and then there I was at the Y Theatre with the band before me.

 

They proceeded to tricksy me by playing "Never Land". Before long Nicholls had me in tears as he sang

Now that I'm alone

Do I still follow on this journey without you?

Then:

 

Lives torn apart
Your identity still a part of me

 

Luckily no one was looking my way nor could anyone hear me. I am happier now than I've been in years but my divorce is still a potent emotional force in my head and heart.

I made up for it on the next song, "The Wake", during which I shook my arse and sang every word.

And then a few songs later they play "Closer" and I tear up again.

Damn you Peter Nicholls!
