HIGH SCHOOL JOURNEY PART-4

 

Last year of my high school made me grow so much. I started to be a person who understands his responsibilities and effects of behaviours. I became a person who cares nothing. I was being lazy all the time, doing nothing. It was almost the same in the primary school time. I didn’t have almost any hope for future and wanted to be dead all the time. Two important things happened in this year, I joined a band called “ALBINO” and I went to UK.

I had another close friend in high school, his name is Yalcin. He was playing many instruments and he was very talented. He was the leader of Albino and he changed people in the band, but he was never satisfied. After some time, he found his drummer and singer but there was one position missing, bass guitarist! They called me to join them in the studio and when I arrived, they asked me to go and buy tobacco. When I turned back, they started to stare at me. One by one they said “you have the nose, you have the stupid humour, you have the soul to be a bass guitarist! Would you like to join our band?” I was shocked but felt so happy, I directly accepted the offer and started to play. I remember first time randomize song. I enjoyed it a lot…

After some time, we got an offer to perform in Zorlu PSM which is very famous place. The problem is we were just started and had nothing. In 2 months, we had to be ready for the concert! They started to write songs and do everything, but I couldn’t do anything. They were way ahead of me. I felt so bad those times tried to do something but all they do was having fun and making jokes on me. I felt insulted but at the same time having the best time in my life.

Concert was a big success and they asked us to come again to perform before the famous bands. We were so happy but there was a huge problem. All of us were going to join university exam and it was so important for all… Also, not only the exam but also feeling happy with the depressed songs we made was not right. It was opposite to our ideology and after we turned back, we couldn’t write any new song or did nothing. We suddenly stop talking and It was the end of Albino for us. (I still miss those days and use the name Albino in many games as a Guild name)

After almost one month I learned that there will be a trip to UK with a private group. I was so excited and wanted to join. Finally, something was not related to my high school. I got accepted and did every paperwork. For Turkey it is hard to get visa from UK as some other countries do. I was little bit anxious but nothing bad happened. I remember the first time I get in the bus at UK airport… Steering wheel of the car was on opposite side of the car! UK was going to be my lovely grunge country…
