(I can't believe I'm about to do this, but what the hell...)
Dearest David:
Ten years ago, I heard this incredible voice on the radio, singing a song I had not previously heard. I had no idea who the voice belonged to, whether it was a band or an individual, or even what the song title was. All I knew is that the lyrics intrigued me, and the voice...I couldn't get the voice out of my head.
I asked a friend of mine who sang the song I heard (it turned out to be "Stupify"), and was told it was by a band called Disturbed. They couldn't tell me who the singer was, so I looked it up.
Of course, the voice was yours. It just grabbed me and wouldn't let me go.
Then I listened to more songs, eventually purchasing the Believe CD. Listening to the lyrics, I fell in love.
Your voice, your lyrics, the amount of thought that must have gone into each and every song just blew me away. Believe got me on an emotional level, too, when I learned you dedicated the CD to your late grandfather. I had lost my father about three years before, so I knew the pain you must have been feeling losing someone that close to you.
I would love to sit down with you and have a conversation about any number of subjects. You stimulate me in so many ways: intellectually, emotionally, psychologically... I never thought that a singer in a metal band could ever affect me this way, but David, you did! I know you're quite intelligent and I think the two of us could have a great time discussing current events, debating issues, talking songs and lyrics and ideas. If more comes of it, so be it. But, I'm not your typical Disturbed fan. I have no illusions.
I must confess that I find you incredibly attractive in a physical sense, but it's your mind and your intelligence I find sexy. The one time I saw Disturbed in concert, I was floored by how eloquent you were when you spoke to the audience. I'd been hooked, and I knew it... and I didn't care!
So, dearest David, that is my confession. I feel much better now. I hope and pray that we'll get to meet in person one day and have that conversation I spoke of. I think we could learn a lot from each other.
I wish you and Disturbed continued success. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next stop in my town.
Until we meet, you remain amongst my
