Black Celebration
My joy
The blood in my veins
My joy
Flows in your name
My joy
You move me
–Depeche Mode “My Joy”
Christmas is coming! Although it is a Western holiday, Taiwanese people has possessed the mood for celebration for years. Perhaps due to aging, I’m dying for some celebration this year. When I was a teenager, I was not sorry having no special activity on this wonderful day.
Who should I celebrate with? Where can I go? Random, foolish thoughts ran wild in my head during the past few days. In this tumultuous state, I’ve let down my gurad and did a few daring things which I’d definitely shy away from last year.
Then I returned to my dorm, eyelids drooping, mind weary, I listened to Depeche Mode. Gee, their music is neat!
The music never fails to uplift me, console me, and inspire me. No matter what this Christmas would turn out to be, I know I can always have a Black Celebration with the Modemen.
To the ones who celebrate Christmas with genuine grateful spirits (not following the trend like people here), merry Christmas!!!
