From the Archives: Psychedelic Furs Appreciation Post

[First posted on my Tumblr August 8, 2017.]

This is my appreciation post for my favorite band, The Psychedelic Furs.
The reason why I want to talk about them is because there are things that I had been thinking about: My life before I got into The Furs and after when I got into them.

I realized that before I discovered more of Psychedelic Furs’ music, my life was kind of dull. Nothing exciting happening, nothing to look forward to, and I feel like I was just ordinary and that there was nothing special about me.
Back when I was a teenager and heard a few of Psychedelic Furs’ songs and liking them, I never knew that a decade later, my life would change with their music. And I never knew that I would see them live three times, would meet the guitarist Rich Good two times, and would give them my letter.
If I hadn’t gotten into their music I wouldn’t be where I am now. Those past three years changed my life, and I really feel better about myself. The Psychedelic Furs are the only band that changed my world. I can’t believe I saw them three times, and the fact that Rich Good knows me. But the thing that I still couldn’t believe was how Rich had found my letter, and how it made him emotional. I was the happiest girl in the world that night. When I tried to throw my letter on the stage from the balcony and it was floating down where the people were standing on the bottom floor I thought it landed right there and was kinda bummed out. But I never knew that it was on the stage the whole time, by Rich’s key pedals, and when Rich showed me my letter I started crying happy tears. It was a wonderful surprise.

I love talking about The Furs on my social media accounts and I just want to give them the recognition that they deserve. They are so great and I feel like I might be their number one fan. I’m like really obsessed with them and just love talking about them.
While writing this, I got emotional and these words, my appreciation and dedication, are all from my heart. I wanted to let it all out, and wanted everybody to know how much I love this band. Thank you Psychedelic Furs so much.
