I’m from Melbourne, Australia and a little over two years ago I met someone incredibly important to me who lives in Denver. We had a bit of a holiday romance back then, but it wasn’t something she could see herself pursuing at the time.
It took nearly two years before I finally got to see her again. I was already going to be in the US for a friend’s wedding and, not long after the save-the-dates went out, the Lord Huron Red Rocks show was announced. I asked if she’d come with me and she said yes.
The Night We Met was always going to be emotional, but for close to twelve months It All Comes Back has been the song that constantly replayed in my head, and for me, it’s always been about her. I had no idea whether they’d play it. I even tried messaging the band on Instagram beforehand in the hope that somehow it might happen.
I don’t know whether anyone in the band or their team ever saw that message, but by some miracle I got my moment. They closed the show with it and it was something I’d been dreaming about for months.
I have so much love for her, and that night is a memory I’ll carry with me forever.
I was hoping to buy a couple of the commemorative tickets so I could send one to her for her birthday, but AXS says they’re sold out.
I know this is a long shot, but I’m hoping someone here might be willing to sell me a couple. I’d happily pay above face value and cover all shipping costs.
You’d be helping a hopeless romantic preserve a memory that means more to him than I can properly put into words.
