TOMORROW - STOKE - ANOTHER BREATH.

HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHITTTTTT! I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED.
tomorrow Another Breath play my Uni home town Stoke-On-Trent
excited is a lesser word for what im feeling right now.
I fucking love this Band, and Ted is the only person i readily internet stalk haha.

When I was 16, and the world was falling apart around me, these and Give Up The Ghost gave me a message of hope.
This song in particular, the first song i ever heard by them, struck a chord in my soul.




driving west. Burning daylight and gasoline. I know now what we're running from. I know why we scream.
Fleeing fate, growing up, getting old.
As if by running we won't have to get on with our lives.
Lives that we don't want.
Tried and tested failures. Production line suicide.
Just like all the dead that came before us.
We've been lied to. Things will never be ok.
So I'm running away. I'm running away from everything.
You can have it all. It means nothing to me.
I'm running away from nothing.
It's the nothingness in life that scares me to death.
I'm choking in this town. Dying. Getting closer ever day.
We're running away from stagnation and pain.
We want more than wasting time waiting for something that will never come.
We want more than your dead end living.
We want more than your broken dreams.
We want more than living because dying is the only other choice

Then of course there was Diesel and Gunpowder, a song of the most profound optimism in the face of suicide. The lyrics are brilliant, life affirming in utmost glory.


Have you ever felt so alone that you wanted to just start again?
And you were sure if you could disappear then no one here would come find you?
Have you ever felt worthless because no matter how hard you tried you could never live up to the standards that were set by people who could never understand you?
All they said were words designed to manipulate you.
Have you ever been so afraid that you might not have the strength to hold on 'til you the morning to face another day with eyes trained to see the ugly because they've only been shown pain?
I've spent so many nights hopeless, lifeless, walking lost, looking to pick fights with diesel trains.
There has to be a better answer. There has to be a better way than this.
I've spent so many nights staring down the barrel of the most selfish decision I ever could have made.
There has to be a better answer. There has to be a better way than this.
When things are at their worst try hard to remember:
This struggle we must all endure is a test of strength
A lesson in appreciationno-one said this would be easy, what good's a fight you're gauranteed to winThose bad days, those fucking evil days, define the days we live forI must remember that darkness is a canvas, where light will paint the dawn
when you die you don't come back, there's no second chancewhen you die it's overthere's no second chance.


Then they wrote a concept album the search for God and how we are all actually God?
FEATURING A SONG BASED AROUND JEAN-PAUL SARTRES NAUSEA
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTS?
I MEAN FUCK!

I'm going to mosh like a badman
probably cry
and then tell Ted how much him and his band mean to me.
it's going to be insane
