David’s birthday

You probably don’t need reminding, and definitely don’t need any encouraging.

But, as your birthday greetings are going to come flooding in anyway, they ought to at least be at the same place. So…

Have a very Happy Birthday, David. Enjoy your day.

Your turn.

    Hello David,

    Two years ago I was living in Sweden, and your music was the soundtrack to that experience.

    Both were intelligent, laid back, deep, reflective, sensitive, sensible and majestic life changing experiences. Then I went to see you at the Royal Albert Hall and the same adjectives apply.

    Thanks David, for all the greatness, and Happy Birthday.

    David:

    Happy Birthday to you!

    I want to take this opportunity to thank you (again) for all that you do. Your quiet work in support of charity is an inspiration to everyone. And your music, a lifetime of sharing your unique creativity with the world. Thanks for it all.

    And now, your fans are wishing you a very happy birthday. I hope you are able to spend the day doing something you love.

    For all the years that I spent along with your music, for the meaning that you gave my live, for the colour that you brought into my world, for all the dreams pictured in my mind whenever I listen to your music (among them it was also the one of seeing you performing live) I thank you and I wish you A Happy Birthday!

    From faraway, I raise my glass in your honour and I bow to the P.U.L.S.E.

    I complete this short message by saying and paraphasing at the same time: How I wish I was there!

    Best wishes to you, from Romania,

    Happy Birthday.

    When I don’t listen to your music, it plays inside me all the time. My life would be much worse without it and much more empty. And seeing you in Gdansk, was the best 3 hours of my life. I would really like to have a similar opportunity once again.
