I went to every single concert they gave here in Guayaquil. I bought every single CD. I grew up with them. I could relate to every single song. I knew deep inside, one day, we were going to live in the perfect world, and we were going to meet and be friends, and I was going to be Danny's wife and we would live happily ever after... Oh man, was I a dreamer or what!
I listened to their CDS every day before and after school. I used to do homework while listening to their CDS, I used to watch TV everytime they were on it and I used to record every show too. Looking back I guess you can say I was more obsessed than in love, but saying I was in love sounds a lot prettier :)
I was 11 years old when the band officially started, 16 when my favorite band members (the main ones, pretty much) left the band, and 18 when the band officially split up.
At 16, when they decided to "replace" Dany, Poncho, and Hector (who were by far THE one reason I loved them so much) I stopped following their shows as much. I hated the new guys, I really did. I couldn't stand watching them on TV cuz all I could think about was "that douche is singing what they used to sing" "that guy's taking all the credit for what the others did" and so on. I didn't stop listening to their music, but I never bought the new CD with the new guys... I listened to the 3 I had always listened to...
Time passed by and Mercurio became a long forgotten memory... Nobody would even talk about them. Sometimes, though, I would listen to one of their songs on the radio and all the memories would come back in a second... but after a while the fuzz was gone again.
Then I moved to the States and never heard about them again.
Not too long ago, back in Guayaquil, I heard one of their songs on the radio. I thought I was going to crash because I got so excited I felt I couldn't keep driving anymore...
And then I heard the news: The possibility of a comeback!!! O H M Y G O D ! ! !
I am a 26 year old girl who gets excited over a bunch of skinny dudes singing. Does that make me a loser? Hell, if so, I'll be the happiest loser on earth!
I joined every single fan page on facebook, I've done everything I can to be part of this "Operacion Reencuentro" to get them to come back on stage... And apparently they have decided they miss singing and they want to go on tour starting April next year.
I am, as I type this, smiling like an idiot, bouncing on my bed, trying not to scream because everyone else in the house is already sleeping...
I'm going to see Mercurio, again, after 10 years!!! I'm going to see the 5 young men who made me believe love could be possible, who made me think there was still room for romanticism in life, who made me think one day I was going to find that someone special too, who made me realize life is great, and sometimes even if it sucks, you just have to let go and move on...
I'm going to see them. I'M GOING TO SEE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They don't have any official dates or anything as of right now, but they've admitted they ARE getting back together. Even if it's for one concert in every country or city... That's enough.
I am trying to make sense as I type but I'm having a real hard time focusing... I'm just overwhelmed. This is too much excitement and joy for me to handle...
I love Mercurio. Yes, I still do! I still listen to their music, in spite of what others may say about me, and I still cry with some of their songs...
I think it's a wonderful thing they're getting back together and I am soooooooooo looking forward to that concert! OMG! Thank you God! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now it's time to calm the F down and go to bed... I'll need my sanity in case they do decide to go on tour...
