A vampire's honey

I fell in love. Yes yes, I know. I fall in love every day or just about. A gorgeous pair of shoes, a cute little kitten, a bloody sirloin roast, I always find something worthy of turning my heart inside out and upside down for. This time, it is a human being. His name is Alexander Veljanov, singer of Deine Lakaien. The first time I heard his voice, I felt myself melt inside. It was not an unfamiliar feeling. Other men whose voice triggers the same reaction in me include Ronan Harris, singer of VNV Nation, Leonard Cohen, poet and songwriter, and the pilot of Air Canada flight 015 that flies out of Toronto every night for New Delhi. I love you all.

Alexander is something else. His voice is powerful yet vulnerable, it's intense and rich in emotions, it gives as much as it demands. Aaah. Alexander, my love. I wrote him a note telling him how I felt about him (no, no, I'm not a psycho fan. I only complimented him on his work). I had to. Such a strong emotion could not be contained.

I sent a couple DL songs to a friend of mine. The first thing he said was: "This is vampire music!" My reaction to that was to laugh. But then I took a second to think about this. Did he mean that this is the type of music vampires compose or listen to? However the real concern is, how would he know that, either way, unless he 1) is a vampire himself or 2) is good buddies with one. Yeah. Note to self: must remember to eat garlic if he ever takes me out to dinner.

After I expressed that I loved Alexander's voice, afore-mentioned friend/vampire said the voice was "buttery." I disagree. His voice is like pure honey, so mellifluous that I would gladly drown myself trying to drink it all.

I love you, Alexander Veljanov.
