Non credevo potesse mancarmi così tanto una persona che ho conosciuto solo tramite la musica e visto da lontano a qualche concerto. Ci manchi Taylor, non ti dimenticheremo mai e continueremo a sentirti vicino a noi grazie al suono eterno della tua batteria.

I didn't know Taylor personally, like most of us. But I feel connected to him through his music. Like an old good friend who has only gone on a short trip and whom I will meet again later. I wish the whole family much strength in this difficult time. Let's never forget Taylor! ❤

I dreamed about you last night... you were tired and wanted to rest. You were in my living room, laid on my rug. I turned off the light and closed the door. You looked at me, and smile.

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you

One black morning
When this life is over
I'll see your face
