I come to you in sadness....I received just today, Michael Hutchence of INXS' funeral. A great friend copied it and some more stuff I had never seen before and I copied the mass I have for her.
I had put off watching the funeral, though I knew the songs and the procession, but to me, that tape meant closure, the END if you will. I couldn't bear to see it, but I felt I must. I sat down and listened to the songs, heard the people speak, and watch the camera scan over that casket, covered in 500 purple irises and one Tiger Lily representing his daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily. All I could think was, 'He is in there, he will sing no more.' I can't say I had gotten over it since his death, but a calmness had set in as if he were okay. I knew he couldn't be brought back, but seeing the farewell was a turn. As the bearers lifted his casket, the echo of 'Never Tear Us Apart' rang and, one big clap of thunder came outside, followed by lightning and rain, as if it were a message. After all, when the funeral began, it was a sunny gorgeous day.
I watched as his casket was entered into the car, and drove away. Then, I watched the rest of the 6 hour tape in it's entirety, the videos, the concerts, the interviews full of comments made by him which seem all to ironic now.
I watched Tiger grin and laugh, looking JUST like Michael...You have no clue how much she looks like her father. All to sad to know, that in the years to come, she will find out what happened. She had/has a special father whom we all know loved her, but will she feel anger?
I have had bouts of anger, due to the fact it was ruled a suicide...How could he preach life and die? But, the speculation of auto-eroticism is a possibility, one that sticks in Paula Yates' mind. She was the mother of Tiger and Michael's love. Her ex-husband, Bob Geldof, well, I don't know what to say about that loathsome piece of trash.
He fought with Michael on the phone before he died, and whether it could have been foul play or not, Bob Geldof killed Michael emotionally, which lead to the physical part of it all. I am speaking my opinion, and I am sorry if I offend anyone. It is just a mess to me to be here writing at 4 a.m, and almost crying as I write. I was a fan fron hearing 'What You Need' when it was released. I am 19 now, so that has been a while. I never stopped liking them...When I got the news of the death, I felt a part of me and my family had died.
If it wasn't a mere coincidence and he did take his own life, the words to each and every song on the album 'Elegantly Wasted' are so autobiographical and a cry for help. He poured his heart out and put it on record to sell. In one interview, Bob is asked his feelings and he shrugs the reporters off. I personally feel he didn't have the nuts to come out and say that he tore Hutch up, that he hurt him. He had been such a bother to him over the custody case. I loved Live Aid and all, but I cannot look at Bob Geldof the same anymore. I look at him in despise.
I am not sure it is healthy to feel so harsh toward one man, but Bob Geldof is the only one I feel that way towards. Dear Michael, I miss him. His music touched me and he was my 'first love' or 'crush.' His music, to me, will never die. I just hope that Tiger grows up to love her father and see all of us, the fans telling her just how lucky she is.
I am sure he is watching over her now, but at times, I just want to scream out, 'Why?' My questions will never be answered....All I know is that a great man is gone, that cannot be taken back.

I can offer nothing but A shoulder for you to cry upon and open arms to comfort you.
So sad... :(
