under the blanket

"Duran Duran is over. So is my youth. I feel old and sad again."

SMS received at 1.57am last night after the highly-anticipated concert. My emotional friend was warbling most aggressively along to almost every song that night. It was a very expensive, $120 karaoke session for him. For the rest of us, it was a trip down memory lane, but filled with too many obscure songs that we couldn't dance to or sing along with. And like true old folks, we kept sitting down during the non-hits. Need to rest lah.

The pre-concert alcohol we were tanking up with didn't give a lasting high, so we only really screeched at the beginning when Simon & Co appeared. [He's still pretty limber for someone on the verge of 50.] And of course, at the end encore bit, when we kept going "flek flek" during The Reflex.

So what does it really mean, "The reflex is a lonely child just waiting by the park"?
