ODD.

About 2 months ago, it was late at night and I was flicking through the channels and saw that 60’s music was on, so I decided to watch that.

Most of the songs I knew, and have heard them all of my life. Then a song came up by a band I had not heard of before. The song that was completely new to me, I loved it, I replayed the song again, I looked at each of the lads in the band, but it was the lead singer that I was drawn to.

I could not believe that I had not heard of the band or him before. The name of the song and the name of the band was on the bottom right of the screen.

Loving it all, his movements, the words, the music, and his amazing voice! I continued to replay the song, over and over, as soon as it ended, he was ten out of ten; I became a fan.

I then Googled the band and him, I wished I hadn’t, but that is the good thing about the internet, information can be found in a second.

It told me his name, and about him then and how his life panned out and that it was not nice at all when he got older. At the end of his life, he was still trying to prove his innocence.

I was sad to read this, for I loved him, he had a presence about him.

I thought of another singer who is very famous, and after we all had sung his songs, found out he was not a nice person. His music is now not played in England, nor on Top Of The Pops.

I still loved this new song and him, but battled with his mind, and wondered what was in it, as he sang and looked at the camera. I wondered if he was like that when he sang that song, or did his ego change later-on? I thought of the people involved who claimed to know a different side to him.

When I woke up the following morning, his song was not in my head, like it usually is when I hear a song last thing at night. For that I was thankful. I had shared the band and song on my social media, but the next day, I removed it. I thought of those who, older than I, and they would have read or heard about him in the papers and news. It seemed like it was big news back then.   

Because of what I had read about him, I didn’t brag of how good he was, just like I wouldn’t about the other very famous singer, that is no longer shown on our telly in England.

Then about a month ago, after I had watched all that was on the telly, and I wasn’t ready for bed, again I was flicking through the channels and it showed that 60’s music was on, as I love some 60’s music and 70’s he again was on! I had to watch him and again I played that song over and over. It was good to hear it again. To justify myself enjoying his song and the band, I decided, he was a good lad, while he was new to the music industry. Again, it was 10 out of 10.

Last night late, I was looking for something to watch, and saw that 60’s music was on, I could not believe it, I played the video many times. I just love everything about it.

I decided to re-read about him again as an adult and see if he was innocent or not. I Googled his name, and there was nothing I could find about his past! It was like it was all removed. It was now only the music nothing else. Even worse, it said he was still alive!!! I was beyond confused. I read other information about him, but it was nothing bad.

This morning when I woke up, his song was the first thing in my thoughts, I don’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
