just recently we lost a friend (also family to one of us) and like in most cases, we look back at all the memories and the millions of thoughts which invade us. death is never easy to deal with no matter what the circumstance. one thing i always felt was present in our songs regardless of the situation was hope. the idea that somehow, someway, things would get better down the line. one of the main reasons i was drawn to being a musician when i was really young, was the chance to help other people out with my words, the same way my influences helped me in tough times. so as we deal with our loss, i want to ask you to take the time to be there for someone. remind our friends and peers that there is hope. i apologize if this is a bit of a ramble and somewhat brief. just take care of each other.
