The Highs are the Lows are the Highs

&quo

The Bali sky shed a golden tear into the ocean.  A boat kite is dancing on the daylight's departure, as the water glows with fire.... those waves that quench the sand.  And I'm at peace.  It sometimes takes 364 days to get just one to stand still, but if there is any one, this might be it.  And I certainly feel no bigger than the sand, as I'm illuminated by a divine creation... this is the ultimate museum, a museum of glowing love, and I'm completely humbled, and in the process feel as if I'm standing on top of the world... on top of something.  I hope I can put this feeling into a melody and words when I return.

It's an end to an adventure.  It's the beginning to a possible freedom.  The band spent five years to grow musically to play shows like the ones we did on this tour.  I, for the first time in awhile, felt like we were represented as the band we wanted to be, a rock and roll band playing catchy songs.  Five dudes that love to create and play together.  We were blessed with an opportunity to share our spirits for 120 minutes in a fury, and like the moment when the sun touched the ocean, our five souls communicated musically the finest yet, and shared moments with those around us.  I can't thank everyone enough, whether you got to see this tour or not.  If you have supported us at any given time, and any given place, thank you.  Thank you for getting us here.  Thank you for listening... and now, we attempt to grow.  It's our duty to progress.

And now... we create.  We tell a story.  We're leaving one of the most heightened experiences to return to many unanswered questions.  Back to the fight on the home turf.

But maybe these are just the things to make one stronger.  To make us even more insane about doing what we love to do.  

So when they say no.... 

...we're telling them

yes.  

We, whether you think we're crazy or not, cannot give up.  

If this is indeed a free country, then maybe our freedom from the red taped up industry will allow a resurrection.  Whether people listen or not is beyond me, but we're ready to fight the fight.  Again.  Why?  Because we just saw and felt something magical, and no one in a suit and tie can sit here and tell me "it won't work."  Whether people will give it a chance or not is beyond me, but there is no use in not delivering the substance to be judged.  If something's there, something's there, and you have to act on it.  This last tour was confirmation that something is there.  

Now... to spread the love.

Peace.

ps - My addiction to Bali has me fleeing to the Cape today to write... can you surf out there??
