The Closer I Get To You

While experimenting on how to embed videos on this new website format of mine, I came across an old performance with Sitti at the Captain’s Bar of the Mandarin Oriental where I played special guest. This was sort of an impromptu performance for all of us – band included – and a very special one at that, because aside from it being one of my all-time favorite songs, my soon-to-be boyfriend then, Nico, was in the audience, awaiting the surprise number I had secretly dedicated to him that night.

So now, after 2 years since the day we fatefully met, and a year after I said “yes,” here’s one of my songs to you, my love. It still describes how I feel whenever you’re here by my side, and still carries on the moment when I started saying “yes, love is real, and is alive again.”

Happy Anniversary, Nico. With all my deepest love,

Ricci
