I have been watching Brooke Fraser perform at Parachute music festival
for years now, and she has always blown me away with her sense of humour and her pure heart, you could just see her passion flowing out of her.  You could see that she just loved The Lord, and her music, it is an amazing thing to see Brooke Fraser play, the music is one thing, but her live brings a whole new meaning to the music.  I took a couple of my friends to see John Mayer in Wellington, in April, and my mate was just blown away with her, he never really liked her music, untill he saw her live, and then he went out and bought the CD. 

Her music has affected me in a way that only one other artist sort of has, his name is Blair Giles, and he has played with Brooke on a few occasions.  The way the lyrics, and music flow into one in a way that is unforgettable.  I still get shivers down my spine with the first few bars of Arithmetic!!!  Brookes music has inspired me to write again, (maybe one day I'll be as popular as she is now!) I gave up writing music at the start of last year, i just felt like there was no point to it all, so I gave up. 

When I first heard the song Better on the radio I was soooo happy I couldn't believe that she had done it, I was over the moon. Then I bought the CD and i didn't stop listening to it for months (the only reason is
that one of my friends "borrowed" it, I never got it back!).  Scarlet has been a song that has affected me a lot, after listening to it I wrote my own version in a sense, but the words of that song just really stopped me in my tracks, I just had to listen, I love the way the story is told about the pain, a pain that I felt for years, (until I became a hardcore Christian,) I want that song to be played at my funeral.  Indelible i think that any Christian could relate to, it is just a perfect song about the Christian faith the relationship between us, the lowly humans that we are, and Jesus, the greatest King of Kings, the Saviour of all. 

Brooke I love you lots, and I want to marry you, I know that its probably not going to happen, but if you are ever in Adelaide in the near future i will be there, any ways thanks for the great music, God will bless you with more than your heart could ever desire, and your husband is going to be a great guy, and a very lucky one. I loved you in Wellington, (for all those people in the front rows I am trying my best to keep my thighs as tightly squezzed as possible!!) , you rocked my world hun, and i think that we should bring back the Booty Shakin' hahahaha yeah Baby, yeah!! 

GOD BLESS
Love From Richard
