What’s in store lays in the mic of the beholder. I’m not sure what people think when they see an artist on the rise. I’m definitely not falling down, actually that isn’t even an option. But people, the stress, the work, the endless nights, is more than overwhelming aside from everyone else in the world needing to chat. And when there is just no time, they assume ignorance, being ignored. No, we’re busy. Our album is more than just an album, its a transition, a state of mind, a release of all our stresses and upsides. Consider it our college exams. When we’re on the road, we’re on the road. Yes, we post photos of how happy we are cause thats the part of life we want to share with everyone. If a picture’s worth a thousand words maybe people should look into the other 500 they’re missing out on. No artist want to post about their discomforts. Continuously ruining our healthy lives to entertain others, to be that inspiration and that get away. If we’re in love, well lets just be honest… we’re in love. No one is seriously that blind, if you’re with someone who you know doesn’t love you than thats your problem. But judging them cause you truly think you know “what happens on tour”, well check yourself first. I personally have to state, the number 1 rule of dating a musician or even loved on in general for that matter (family member, friend, etc) is “Don’t pick a fight with your loved one before a show.” You have no idea how injust it really is. How effective it can be, especially on the road. How it changes our very state of mind, literally ready to go back to the hotel and say fuck the show while we try to kindle the problem and our loved ones decide to turn their cells off or ignore our messages. And then there’s the other option, to leave the problem till later, to go through with the show and leave the cell in the hotel for the sake of not losing our insights. Which can be deemed the worst way ever to deal with a problem, but sometimes… its the only option left. While the general population has their own dreams and chase them by going to school and educating themselves, let me remind you you all that this particular dream is the most stressful education of all, for there is no re taking this certain course. When we fail, we lose who we are. Of course we want to be home with our families, of course we wish it made more money, hell most of us have full time jobs back home that kill our personalities just for the sake of affording both life and music together. Yes, we drink, yes, we party, welcome to the territory of appreciation. Fans, promoters and so on always want to pay back their greatfulness for your show with… well liquor or weed. It a notion, gratitude. These are the same people who go out of their way to post our music, our videos, the people who pay to see our shows, and the promoters who take us in as children and as a contract all at the same time. The people who truly understand, what its like … Take a moment to look into your own dreams, and its costs and how the world respects your steps. Cause this is far and few, this is mind blowing energy we continuously fight for. Without the support from loved ones, well, you could only imagine.
