Acoustic Resonance Tour - Bogotá, Colombia- English.

Along the way, within our own space and time, we always try to find a balance between each of the most significant moments, thus trying to maintain an intense union between the musical and the circumstantial; because finally we are that, minds that come together to create stories and moments that the passage of time will never manage to eliminate, because the meaning of some beautiful words subject to the harmony dictated by brilliant minds, will always play for the creation of the best of memories - the best of moments - and that is what Anathema has just achieved in our walk and it is incredible that after so many years, we have been able to have the opportunity to have 3 times (Danny's as soloist included) to these beings that with their energy have always welcomed in the best way their audience in Bogota.

This time we had the opportunity to participate in the celebration of the 20th anniversary of -Alternative 4- a magical night that started at 18.30 in the Teatro el Dorado 'ECCI' in the company of more than 200 people waiting to stir their feelings to the sound of those songs that made their hearts vibrate at every moment collected during the passage of time and this time in the company of the Cavanagh brothers along with Duncan Patterson, an unforgettable night and to tell the truth, very unpredictable. The members of Anathema Colombia along with some fans, waited for his arrival with a little surprise, this was a handmade flag with the logo of Anathema 90's and a part of the Universal song that delimits the feeling about the dream that was to have them in our country and to see that now all that dream became a reality.

The meeting began with Danny who, after giving a few words about the imposing Cerros Orientales of Bogotá, interpreted Are you there? and Springfield and then received Vinny who took over the main microphone interpreting songs such as Untouchable 1 - 2, Flying, Thin air and finally, leaving marked with his incredible and heartfelt voice (accompanied by Danny), the interpretation of One Last Goodbye. Just at that moment Duncan Patterson makes his appearance on the stage being so received by his fans with a lot of applause that made him sprout a huge smile, it was a very impressive moment because within the audience we know the importance that Duncan had in the beginning and passage through Anathema, not only in internal friendship with the Cavanagh brothers, but also, in several changes that there were at the musical level within the band. From Alternative 4 we had the opportunity to enjoy Fragile Dreams, Shroud of False, Lost Control, Destiny, Inner Silence, one followed by the other Eternity part I, II and III. The public at this point did not stop chanting the songs forging a union of other people's feelings that made this moment something more intimate and special, an energetic influence that made us one contemplating those who have accompanied us for so long in several moments that have been so significant in circumstances that are only their own, however, such moments can be shared without mediating a single word.

At this point Vinny and Duncan decide to give themselves a space leaving Danny on stage, he begins with a fragment of Bohemian Rhapsody -Queen- to which the audience responds with a heartfelt applause, so that Danny finally began, after a few brief words and a dedication, the song High Hopes (Pink Floyd's cover included in Daniel Cavanagh's solo album 'Memory and Meaning'), this was a quite emotional and special moment that then gave way to a second cover, but this time Radiohead, Street Spirit (Fade out) with a funny ending because it was activated without wanting an extra electronic sound, for which the audience reacted with unexpected applause and smiles.

Finally, Vinny returns to the stage in the company of Duncan and that, together with Danny try to listen to the public with suggestions of songs to interpret, we wanted to have the possibility of hearing Regret of which we only got a short snippet of the same one and also of Sleepless, finally they choose to continue the show with the second and last song cover to Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb.

It was an incredible night! on the part of Daniel Cavanagh we were imbued with his love for our country and for us, his audience, because every time he had the opportunity he reminded us that 'Colombia is Magic' and yes, in one way or another our country and our people is an eternal and incredible magic that shoots in the most beautiful and best moments, as it was for us that Sunday night in Bogota.
