I have been a The Cranberries’ fan since 1994. They were, and still
are, my favourite band in my whole life. No other band will ever make
me see things like Dolores O’Riordan and the boys made me see.
I
guess I have a peculiar vision about the band that no one can fully
comprehend it. I have been involved in futile discussions and polls
within friends, the Internet and public forums. All of this because of
nothing, or maybe because of everything. It made me realise that the
best thing to do is to stay at your little place/corner, get on with
your life, take care of yourself and nothing else matters.
I
have made friends all over the world because of The Cranberries. I have
lost contact with some of them, but still in touch with some others.
Life has made me see that the best thing in life is friends and family
and all you have to do is to be yourself and you will never lose the
ones that truly love you.
So, it’s time to move on. My friends,
my family and my memories will still remain and that’s all I really
care for, now. I will never forget the times I have been with Dolores
O’Riordan and the boys and I will never forget all my efforts to travel
a bunch of times to see The Cranberries in Spain and Portugal and
Dolores O’Riordan in Spain and the UK, all of this between 2002 and
2007. But one thing that really needs to go and to fly is my personal
collection of items from The Cranberries and Dolores O’Riordan. I will
only keep a few DVD’s and some official albums. That’s all I’m in
interested in to keep that small flame alive until the day I die.
So,
in a few days I will be selling – at eBay – some dark and obscure items
from The Cranberries. As some people have done and said before, I don’t
need all of this to express or to prove that I am an addicted to The
Cranberries. I have always been and will always be a true fan.
If you have any questions about the things I will be selling, please be my guest to send me an e-mail to
vitorjsfernandes@hotmail.com.
Let
me assure you that I will sell the major part of my collection,
including t-shirts, posters, rare magazines, album and single cassettes
(tapes), books, a few bootlegs, the Uncertain vinyl and CD, and so on.
Yes, I will sell that radio cassette that has that song that I never
shared (I suppose the song may be “The Same Old Story”, but it was
never confirmed). I never got the chance to rip the damn song and I am
not interested in sharing it. So, the cassette will be for sale and the
one who grabs it will have that chance to shine in The Cranberries
fans’ world! I will also be selling Hollywood singles and some other
items that you don’t even know they exist. Last but not least, I will
also sell some personal and strange items, such as the drumstick
Dolores used to start the song “Animal Instinct” (in 2002) with, a few
signed CD’s and some others.
So, this is it for now. Life here
is hard and I have to move on with it. Again, feel free to e-mail me to
ask anything you want about what I’ll be selling.
Take care, have fun and be happy!
