(Brian May - Too Much love will kill you)

(Brian sings, because Freddy is gone)

Walking through the streets that I have called home the greater part of my life, memories flash by, and I recollect the many years I wandered these streets. And in my mind, I make up the score, and I set down the whole 16 years down. And I realize this city will always feel like home. But it is a home I must leave behind, for the years of happiness, growth and adventure are also tainted with a constant reminder of the me, I used to be.

Most of my friends came, and have long since ventured out into the world. I left Nijmegen for a while, only to return later. I've met great people, seen people grow to the persons they are today, and I've seen personalities fade due to circumstances. I have sang, fought, cried, laughed, worked, admired and loved in this city. It will take a long time before I will ever see this city as anything else but home. And perhaps I'll return, but considering my career path that seems unlikely.  

So I bid you all a warm evening, and a good night. I'm leaving the ghosts of my past behind. For those who know, you are welcome in my new house. Regardless of our past. I have yet to meet a person I wouldn't want to meet again.

Cheers,
F
