And that day came when they decided to call it a day.

Seven months ago I was having a terrible allergy and I can barely sleep, sneezing endlessly, even if I’ve had antihistamine already. Should’ve gone asleep as far as I know. But you are not interested, so am I. We learned that the band just gave us this message. Nonchalantly.

This is quite amusing since there were no such excessive quarrels a la Gallagher’s or conscious uncoupling, or drug-related misunderstandings — remember, the band just had fourteen years, that is quite a decade and a half shy.

It was just heartbreaking and nobody ever thought this may happen. Not even their contemporaries.

Such break ups are often hard to understand, given their age and the possibilities of what they can do. The band still is young, or the night is. Who would’ve thought? They never even made it quite so much halfway the globe.

Who would’ve thought?

WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT?

But you are not left amused anyway. Just confused is all.
