Hi Alex, great post! I am also into deconstruction/reconstruction, and here it is generally with clothing construction. Gabriel and I are talking about what we will leave, and where we will add, and what. This can be scary, but is very necessary, and ultimately freeing. Stay safe! Love, Cathie, Robert, Gabriel, and Freya!
Thank you so much for sharing your struggles. I am sure that you are already conquering them one by one. The song sounds amazing. I love that song so much too!
FROM THE CITY TO THE OCEAN?!You are singing it! Live?!!!! (Rare occasion) :)!!!! One of my favorite songs from you, Alex! :) Good to hear Ben in back ground vocals 🎙✨️🧘🧘♀️🕊 with The Long Shadows 🎙🎸🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶 Thanks for sharing ✨️ 💛
I LOVE this song, "From the City to the Ocean"!!! This song has something special... I found it so powerful to be able to say, "I'm certain that I am exactly where I need to be," despite all the difficulties you are facing.
I believe that leaving the past behind doesn’t necessarily mean losing it or forgetting about it. I think it simply becomes part of who you will become. We’ve already seen the freedom you are slowly but surely embracing — and it is beautiful to see!
So, keep walking towards that path! The moments of music on tour will be wonderful with that spirit!!!
I will always remember the first time I heard that song at Canadian Music Week many years ago. I believe Between Illness and Migration hadn’t even been released yet... It was the first time I heard the song, and it was very special. It felt like discovering music with new colors, as you like to say!
Thanks for also sharing the challenges you’re facing with us! We’re all facing challenges, but it’s through those that we thrive — and I undeniably see you thrive... which makes me want to take up the challenges ahead of me at the same time! Very inspiring!
I love how dedicated you are to sharing something meaningful for every single evening, right up until the very last minute! Every evening is “the furnace of the intangible”! ;)
Comme tu le dis si justement, ce sont les derniers morceaux vers ta rédemption totale et libre du passé. C'est si poignant, beau et en même temps pour moi, il me replonge dans cette salle de concert dans un quartier improbable de Bruxelles où tu étais déjà à Tanger et où trop se targeuent de cataloguer des personnes alors qu'eux viennent à ta rencontre et te proposent ton aide. J'étais avec Claude dans sa chaise roulante et l'emmenait dans cet endroit inconnu de nous et nous avons eu de l'aide tout le temps du trajet pour aller à la salle sans que l'on ne demande rien, et puis....Cette explosion de rage qui vous animait en vous démenant pour produire l'inimaginable. Explosions d'étincelles de coeurs vibrants sans heurts et sans peur. Alors que certains nous disaient : "Vous êtes foles d'aller dans ce quartier " Oui. rien ne pouvait nous arrêter. Pour faire fi de sa condtion de sa SEP et la mienne, d'anorexique, en leur prouvant que tout est possible et réalisable. ainsi naissent les grandes oeuvres qui redonnent des émotions et de la foi en l'humanité. C'est un magnifique hommage pour moi. MERCI d'oser te libérer et être en paix avec toi même petit frère funambule.
Glad to learn xou will play Winter Is Coming In and The Love That Moves I well rmember From The City ToThe Ocean in Tübingen. It evolved in a wonderfull way.
I love to see Sef there back with you all on the rehearsal stage!
You have made so many courages steps to free yourself from the past, Alex! I'm sure this courage will always take you further in life, so it's only consequent that you also "face" this challenge of deconstructing/reconstructing these songs... They will not be destroyed, but will blossom into something new and surely different, but again they will be precious! Keep on, stay courageous!
Your brother Markus, see you hopefully in Maastricht and surely in Cologne!! ✌🏻&❤️
