RUBIK

   Bonjour,
   There are not lots of people who say it but Rubik can be dangerous… I will tell you an anecdote dedicated not just to Rubik but to people who love Rubik’s work and are inspired by it. I hope it will entertain them while they are waiting for Rubik to come closer to perform.
   (I apologize for my bad spelling).

   Having listening Solar more than a hundred times, every time from the first song to the last, I felt like I didn’t need anything else: no discussions, no food, no sleep, no books. I understood that it had to stop but I always got this voice in my head (I mean Artturi Taira voice not God one’s, I hope you are not at the stage where you make this confusion) and yet, I never got enough of Rubik. So I kept listening even when all these songs had been entirely engraved in my brain.

   Several days alter, my flatmate started to worry about me: my insomnia got worse and I was completely distraught when the music stopped. She decided to help me. “Come with me, we will take some fresh air” she said, and I answered “Of course, I’m not in love with them!”
   Then the lyrics started to obsess me and I decided that I could make a short story based on Solar. I worked on it every day trying different things but still I could hardly sleep because my heart went a little bit too fast, just like coffee might do.

   My flatmate thought that I was recovering until she caught me on internet: I had almost bought a ticket to go in Barcelona to see Rubik, just two days before they come in my own town. The problem is that I’m not really rich but I have plans for my future (like go study in… Helsinki, it’s true, I had started to learn Finnish on my own, on the sly… I know I’m even not fluent in English). Anyway, thanks to my friend I have saved up money but for how many days…

   And here I am, writing this from London. My flatmate come to support me, she is the one who found this place where people who smashed up their brain with music can do a sleep therapy. Actually, I’m ashamed to spend this message in a place that we can see “send a comment”… But I have to do this, I was told that writing (the true or not) is a good way to be okay. Besides, I took my books and some stuff to write the short story… that don’t really matter that I get no talents only some good ideas, because at the end, only the words and music climb out.

   Enjoy your gigs in Finland.
   I’ll see you in Toulouse (or/and maybe in Barcelona or Paris who knows…).

   All the best.
   Kiitos.
