I know, I know your last tour was difficult. I know wewe want to go into the studio and get “experimental” now. I know all that. But please hear me out and let me convince wewe this is a very bad idea.
I suppose I have to admit my first reasons are zaidi selfish. If wewe stop touring, wewe will never again come to all the cities where your millions of adoring mashabiki await. We will never get to experience being in the same room as you. There will be no hope for us to meet you, au at least get close to wewe and maybe even touch you, someday. If wewe lived in the 21st century, with live streaming and Internet, it would be different. We could at least see wewe perform and leave wewe maoni wewe could answer, and maybe feel closer to wewe even if we aren’t there with you. But for the 1960s, when wewe abandon your tours, wewe abandon us completely.
I also ask wewe to reconsider what wewe are planning to do with your time once wewe stop touring. Getting “experimental” in the studio. First, I want to tell wewe that, if wewe heard today’s music, wewe would never, never, never even consider putting any effects on your precious sound and giving other musicians ideas. Second, your muziki is beautiful the way it is! It’s like upendo in its purest form, heart-beating, tingly romance set to music. When I hear your music, I hear wewe gently whispering “I upendo you” in my ear a hundred times. wewe don’t need to experiment with a sound that is already perfect. Yes, I admit, I loved your later music. I have to. It’s you. There will never be a single song wewe release that I don’t love. But wewe didn’t have to branch away from that wonderful simplicity wewe used to use. You’ll never improve your muziki that way, if that was what wewe were thinking. It’s simply not possible to improve on perfection.
And lastly, I’m afraid of what will happen to wewe when wewe start changing your entire way of doing things, fiddling with something that, much like your sound, was already perfect and needed no fixing. wewe left your beautiful life of seeing your mashabiki around the world and playing with one another while creating the most heartrending muziki ever made, and once wewe did, wewe wanted to dress differently, act differently, play different kinds of music, and pursue different interests. Perhaps any of these things, on its own, wouldn’t be such a big deal. But please, look at what this is doing to you. Look before it’s too late. Can’t wewe see that this decision to stop touring is the first step down a slippery slope, a slope that will end with heartbreak and disaster for all of us?
You’re taking yourselves apart, piece kwa piece, and I can’t let wewe do that. Please reconsider this before it’s too late. Think what you’re doing to yourselves, and think how it would affect you, if wewe can’t see how it would affect us. Please don’t stop touring. It’s the worst decision wewe could make for yourselves, your fans, and your band.
Believe me. I have the benefit of hindsight. I know.
upendo wewe forever,
