You Need Us
Once the glow of Eurovision dims…
you will need us again.
When your countrymen run out of hugs
for their newly declared sons…
you will need us again.
When you tire of your toys
and need a reminder of how wonderful
those first few tours really were for you…
you will need us again.
We saw your faces…
we encouraged your awe and your glow.
To see if it’s still possible…
you will need us again.
We’re here…
we’ll keep waiting.
Cause that’s how much we love you…
and we will need you again.

Where do I begin to tell the story of my love… By Jeannette
I thought Il Volo was terrific, I watched their videos on Youtube, bought all their CD’s and DVD’s… What charming boys they were when I saw the video of them on American Idol…
After seeing all the videos of the 2013 concert, I thought I have to see these boys in person… I made a promise to myself that I would go to a concert in 2014 to see Il Volo… I became more serious about finding current information about Il Volo and a google search led me to the Il Volo flight Crew … That was in March 2014, just one year ago… Wow, what a site… So much information about Il Volo, it became my go to place every morning to get my Il Volo fix… Then the 2014 concert dates were posted… Il Volo would be appearing at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles Ca… Well, that’s only about 300 miles from Las Vegas, I can see this group that has warmed my heart there… I put my plan in place to achieve my goal to see Il Volo…
June 7, 2014… Greek Theater, 8:00 PM… The Curtains open, the Orchestra plays, Il Volo is standing on stage… Where are those three young boys I had been seeing in the videos on You tube? There are three extremely handsome young men standing on that stage… OMG, they are singing to me!!! The audience fades away and I am the only one in the Greek Theater, these three gorgeous young men are singing to only me… I thought they were charming on videos, I thought their voices were great on CD’s and DVD’s … But on that stage, they were absolutely spectacular... I think I held my breath for the entire two hours…I never in all my years and all the concerts I have seen, have I been so overwhelmed by a performance as I was that night by Il Volo… They took my breathe away and I was on a musical flight, my heart soared to the clouds, I was still on that heavenly cloud and had not come back to earth again when I walked into the Meet and Greet…
There they were right in front of me… Three of the most handsome men in this world, with the three most beautiful voices I have ever heard… I was going to meet them!!! Yes, I was going to be able to talk with them, give them a little hug, kiss those gorgeous cheeks… I was going to tell them I was taken on a musical flight and my heart soared when they sang to me, only to me tonight… I was going to tell them I loved them…
It was my turn, I walked up to these three beautiful men… Would you believe I was at a loss for words? Me, at a loss for words? Impossible! But they smiled at me, the hugged me, they saw the look of love in my eyes… They knew that they had won me over and that there was one more Il Volo Lover in their family, and they do believe their fans are part of their family.
Before attending that concert, I thought I loved them and their music… But until I saw them in person, I did not realize just how amazing their voices were, how loving they truly are to their fans, its not an act put on for the moment… I could not believe when I got up close to them how truly caring each of them are… With their music they have the power to change your life in a magical way and with that and their charm, they steal your heart, and you are powerless stop them nor would you want to…
OMG, I fell in love for real that night, and it is a love that will last forever because they touched my heart with their beautiful voices and captured my soul with charm, kindness and their sincere love for all…

Lucky To Live With Passion
I first saw them standing there on the stage that lucky night. They just looked so beautiful standing there. And when they began to sing I wanted everything to stop. I wanted nothing to change… ever again. If they could just keep standing there so beautiful so…
That is beginning to be a long time ago now.
I have been lucky enough to attended 6 concerts. All heart stopping. But ah, that first fall concert of 2013. I wrote this poem then. Those of you who have been around a while might remember it. It’s when our Boys were Boys. If you’ve been to a concert you know the feeling. If you haven’t, well.. here’s some idea.
I CAME, I SAW, I CRIED
Concerts come and concerts go.
Some even cost a lot of dough.
♥
Some are weak and some are strong
Some are great and some just wrong.
♥
But the very best one by far,
for this one night … a shining star.
♥
On September 5th I heard them sing
with an orchestra and all they bring.
♥
They stood there, all three, handsome and young.
Pride in their eyes, music on their tongue.
♥
When they began I started to weep.
I’d had visions of this in my sleep.
♥
I sniffed alot and looked around.
All were moved by that wondrous sound.
♥
It came from Ignazio’s heart and Piero’s soul.
Beautiful Gianluca had a goal.
♥
He wanted to prove he loved us back
by giving us what we all lack.
♥
Italian words, at an Italian pace,
In an English song so full of grace.
♥
We all stared in disbelief.
Time moved quickly, the show seemed brief.
♥
There was never a trio who
could mesmerize like these guys do.
♥
It really happened, this quest we shared.
How could any of us have been prepared.
♥
To hear what we heard, to see what we saw,
Impossibly without a flaw.
♥
They won my heart, oh, a while ago.
And on this night I loved them so.
♥
Those Angles sang to us…they sang to me!
My body shook, I knew all could see.
♥
The passion I have for those three guys
Took no one there by surprise.
♥
Mothers, Daughters, Fathers too
All had a look as if they knew.
♥
These lads will grow up to be men.
We hear them now, we’ll hear them then.
♥
But on this night, oh, this night of joy!
I saw heaven there and not a boy.
