Sounds like a dream. I love Copenhagen so much. I still want to move there. The people are so lovely and have so much style. The coffee is also very good, albiet expensive compared to a lot of European cities.
I just started ADHD medication and it's a little underwhelming but it definitely validates my diagnosis. It's been 3 days on the lowest dose and if I need or want to do something I just do it now rather than ruminate. I'm not sure I'll stay on them long term as I'm on a lot of medication for my bipolar and that already feels like too much. I miss my old self when anxiety didn't seem to run my life. Anyways I've gone off track. Reading this made me so happy. Listening to, seeing photos and reading your words and work is like surfing for me; it always reminds me I can be bigger and better and find a light in the dark. Just need to find the right people. It's very isolating here. People are competitive and not very supportive. I've always felt a strange affinity with you (I apologise if that sounds odd) but everything you have ever written or done I can always relate to in one way or another. Please never stop. And I'm so glad singing brings you joy and that you can take your friends and family on tour. That's how tour should be. It should be about fun and romance and making life lasting memories. Thank you for everything. We met once, briefly at a Some Girls show in Buffalo but I feel closer to your world by reading these, so please keep them up. Enjoy the rest of the tour! ❤️
Ten years ago i saw you open for NIN and again last night in Antwerp. Loved it and felt the Cold Cave collective strength on that stage as you described it. It wasn't too large of a stage nor too large of a venue for you, it felt like where you belonged that night, with Antwerp / Lanegan / Demeulemeester / Corbijn. Audience was really with you and you must've gained quite a few new fans. Dave and Martin were awesome, that duet was emotional. Anton's new projections were killer and impressed by the new twist for songs like A Pain... and Enjoy The Silence. Martin also on fire in those new guitar parts for In Your Room. Reviews today were raving (for as much as i hate reading reviews)!
Friends even said it, "I can't imagine ever wanting to be a ta show in a crowd where you are touching people. All those sweaty bodies, never again...". It seemed all were leering at each other, angry, mistrusting only mere months ago. Businesses closed, prophetic stockpiling nightmare grocery shopping: DO NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH THE WORLD. Wes, Cold Cave, thank you for getting out there during CORONA, damn straight you worked hard. And everyone who supported the music when most ran scared. What a crowd, what a miracle.
Thanks for sharing the photos of you all, the shows, the places you've been, and of course the shot of Lanegan. After reading, I went straight to see a youtube clip of Iggy Pop singing The Passenger at the Cruel World fest. Your post also brought memories flooding back of seeing DM at the Rose Bowl during their 101 tour (I sometimes like to play their live album and imagine myself being there all over again). Wish I could catch you playing with DM -- maybe something for the future!
It’s so mind blowing to see all the pictures you are taking of the crowd, so many people. And you guys are there! Opening for Depeche Mode! This post couldn’t get any cooler.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience thus far. Dreams come true through hard work. I'm so happy for you and your family!!!!! Truly beautiful!!
I supported a couple of amazing bands in Leeds last weekend: Devil Master and Lamp of Murmuur. I was totally blown away by them both, and the metal audience were mainly very respectful of my apocalyptic acoustic warblings. It was great to be exposed to new music, but even better, in fact, SO MUCH BETTER to catch up with and hug my friend Francis. Life affirming in difficult times.
I'm so happy to read it's going so great, you deserve all the privilege and luxury and being around fantastic people and joy and glory and love! This is how it should be.
Thank you so incredibly much for giving me this fantastic opportunity to see you and DM, I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise! Thank you so much for being so patient and kind with me! I hope I wasn't too annoying. Your set was incredible! You were so organic on this huge stage in this stadium, like it was always meant to be like that. I thought I would cry but there were no tears, only awe and astonishment and joy and happiness. I cried afterwards, realizing that I really was there and was part of it and it really happened and you made it happen. And exactly at this time, when my life is in ruins and I don't know how to live anymore. I realised that you truly *know* what difference it makes when your favorite artist is kind to you. Forever grateful.
May the tour continue even better 🍀
Hopefully everything goes well and I'll see you again at WGT in Leipzig. That was my fastest ever decision to go to a festival. Thank you again for answering my DMs, it means world to me.
