Eulogy For James Siva
The tagline and mission statement and profile of JS Concerts states ….that it brings nothing but THE BEST in providing concert-goers The Ultimate Concert Experience.
26 years of showbiz that has kept Malaysians from various walks of life and generations entertained. From SANTANA, DONNY & MARIE, BONEY M ,BEE GEES right to the Noughties with the likes of Orianthi, Placebo, Paramore, Chaka Khan, Air Supply, Deftones, Roberta Flack and now Kenny G and world phenomenon Justin Beiber. Kenny G, Westlife, Whitesnake. Pitbull, Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne., Evanescence, Jessie J, LMFAO, Greyson Chance, Avenged Sevenfold, Christina Perri, Train, The Wanted, Michael Bolton, Swedish House Mafia and Andrea Bocelli, George Benson, One Republic. Those of us who shared Jame Sivaganam’s life, shared with him his love and his passion and his ambition and his intensity and his drive for perfection and his wanting THE BEST
Though James mellowed with age, he was always an intense , driven and unpredictable ride. . With James; I see his light, his darkness, his sweetness, his roughness, his gentleness, his anger, his brilliance, his handsomeness, and his goodness. JAMES " lived a life where he did what he wanted to do and he let the chips, human and otherwise, fall where they may. That was the way JAMES lived and made his way through the world. I know that can lead to a lot of confusion and hurt, but he also carried a lot of love with him, and I know he loved each of you here today very very much
JAMES was a tough act but he brought things into your life that were unique and when he turned on that love light, it illuminated your world. I was lucky enough to stand in that light for almost 12 years with him.
In the end, James's boisterous vitality was not his only, or even his defining, characteristic. JAMES was vastly entertaining, but he was, above all, sensitive, thoughtful, incredibly generous and caring. He loved music, and he loved his artists. He was extraordinarily loyal to his friends. He cared deeply for the music ind]ustry and concert business, Above all, JAMES had such a great time because he felt there was about the universe a fitness that justified ultimate joyfulness, and that joyfulness was the other side of his being so indomitable.
For each of us, each in our own way, JAMES leaves a hole in our lives. But when we think of him, we smile and feel more confident. And this is why JAMES will always be with us..
So, I’ll miss my friend, my confidante, my brother the force of nature he was, his glory, his foolishness, his accomplishments, , his humor, his noise, his confusion, his power, his peace. But his love and his story, the story that he gave me, that he whispered in my ear, that he allowed me to tell… and that he gave to you… is gonna carry on…….. my friendship leads me to believe we stand together in, doing our modest version of work… work that’s still unfinished. So I won’t say goodbye to my brother, I’ll simply say, see you in the next life, further on up the road, where we will once again pick up that work, and get it done.
JAMES SIVAGANAM, thank you for your kindness, your strength, your dedication, your work, your story. Thanks for the miracle… and for letting a little us into your world.
