friends,<\/p><p>It\u2019s\u00a0with\u00a0a\u00a0lot\u00a0of\u00a0febrility\u00a0and\u00a0gratitude\u00a0that\u00a0I\u00a0accepted\u00a0the generous invitation from the British prog-rock band The Pineapple Thief to\u00a0join\u00a0them on their Europe &amp; UK tour this\u00a0coming\u00a0October.<\/p><p>I was still in Tangier when all the details were decided. I felt incredibly privileged and honored, to say the least, not only because The Pineapple Thief has been able to be enduringly relevant over the last 20 years \u2014 they are way too underrated in my opinion \u2014 but also because I have a great deal of respect for them as individuals. We share the same human values, a profound communal vision, and a common connexion with the way we perceive the emotional and spiritual aspects of creativity. I just couldn\u2019t foresee a more singular type of musical experience, on tour what\u2019s more, at this point in my personal artistic journey. And even if The Pineapple Thief and I are two distinct kinds of expressive endeavors, it just feels like we are the two sides of the same contemplative voyage, which makes it even more exciting for me.<\/p><p>That being said, regardless of my immediate cheerful reaction, I must admit that I needed an instant to assess the real state of my emotional standpoint when the exalting essence of that invitation finally set in, a few days after. It was a surreal context; I had just arrived in Morocco where I newly acquired a boutique hotel in Tangier, and I felt like I would finally be able to settle down in one place long enough to get some refreshing rest and complete my book\u2019s initial writing phase, which already feels like a long-overdue project for me at this point. I was already a little overwhelmed by this and all the other projects I was already working on before leaving for Tangier, so I had to seriously ask myself if the prospect of going back on tour wouldn\u2019t be too much too soon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51126ee8 elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"51126ee8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tMusic requires a complete let go, a total self-abandonment. It\u2019s an \u201call-in\u201d type of commitment.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e9c44c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e9c44c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Besides the pressure of meeting the different deadlines, the most important factor for me was that I didn\u2019t know if I was physically and spiritually ready to go back on the road. It was difficult for me to determine if I had an inner vision for that tour, if I had something to share and commune beyond the music itself, which is something fundamental for me. As you already know, there\u2019s absolutely no way for me to fake it through, there\u2019s no auto-pilot nor any jukebox kind of gimmick. I despise absolutely everything about the elusive nature of the entertainment business. There\u2019s spiritual impotency in nowadays\u2019 pre-fabricated pop culture that I can\u2019t fathom anymore and acting like a soulless plastic form or lifeless moving cardboard makes me sick. It\u2019s not judgmental towards those who can fake it through; it\u2019s just impossible for me. Music requires a complete let go, a total self-abandonment. It\u2019s an \u201call-in\u201d type of commitment. It necessitates an absolute embodiment of the invisible, a profound affective dwell-in. And therefore, it requires a true reflective process for me and a reciprocal preparation for the rest of the band members as well. Without a specific vision, they now understand just how afflicting and damaging it would be for me to go on without a sense of direction to lead me, guiding us all through it\u2026<\/p><p>Besides that, with all the intangibles I had to juggle with over the last 18 months, I wasn\u2019t quite convinced I was emotionally disposed like I have to be in order to honor you, my bandmates, and The Pineapple Thief\u2019s enthusiastic trust they so generously showed towards me. There\u2019s always a great deal of intimate sufferings involved before I am able to let go, before I find just enough perceptible hints to stop scorching myself. And no matter what I may perceive about it all, from the initial spark to the ongoing stream of life revealing itself along the way, it has to be real and honest. Otherwise, the gestational process would be terribly difficult for everyone around me. And after more than a decade of trying to deal with mental health struggles, I have a way better comprehension of the psychological implications associated with the frustration that comes with self-doubt and irresoluteness. That is why I\u2019d rather decline invitations \u2014 like I did several times following the initial release of my album Windows in the Sky in 2018 \u2014 than have to carry a confusing and incomprehensible burden that would end up being too heavy for me. That whole reflection process necessitates a period of introspective solitude.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7da07d6f elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"7da07d6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tEver since I found my way back into the light, however, I have promised myself to avoid that emotional denial and self-preservation\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcc304e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dcc304e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Consequently, leaving Tangier 2 weeks before Jeff and Miss Isabel to head back to the mountains of Virginia, a place I now call home for the last 3 years, was undeniably instrumental in having a proper reflection about it all. It\u2019s terrible to go on stage without feeling anything, and being in that paralyzing state and bleak place during the last couple of years as Your Favorite Enemies\u2019 leader is what prompted the total disconnection with the intangible dimension I seek as a creator. Ever since I found my way back into the light, however, I have promised myself to avoid that emotional denial and self-preservation by admitting that disabling reality designed by my everlasting fear of failure, the mental and affective condition of which inevitably led to a deep instability defined by a detrimental inability to feel something and the incapacity for me to go beyond it, resulting in all sorts of panic attacks, of relationship ruptures and destructive loneliness. I now know that when that turmoil starts, the nature of the nightmarish voyage that follows is not only unclear, but its duration is also pretty much unpredictable. I can describe it as a sort of an emotional seizure, a cognitive irrationality turned into an epileptic episode. If it\u2019s \u201ctreatable\u201d, it somehow feels incurable sometimes. That\u2019s why I put Your Favorite Enemies on hold and eventually slowly debuted to welcome new personal sensations that ultimately gave birth to my present solo project; to try and heal something that seems broken within me.<\/p><p>Those two weeks home were indeed tumultuous for me. I felt deeply irresolute, even though I somehow knew that I needed that spark of life to bloom anew, that letting go into that pure stream of human connection would be incredibly uplifting and immensely hopeful. Consciousness doesn\u2019t have the ability to lie. It doesn\u2019t have any regrets about the past nor any interest in whatever may come. It\u2019s about now and that present tense has the purpose of mirroring what you are desperately trying to hide right back at you. The rest depends on what you want to make out of such truth. I found there is more cynicism in any notion of absolute than it bears fatalism. There\u2019s a silver lining to it nonetheless. It shakes you, moves you, troubles you. And there are movements emerging from that despicable measure of truth you are willing to take in\u2026 I realized, in the \u201cgoing back on tour\u201d indecision, that my irresoluteness was attributable to an unfulfilled measure of peace and security that I wasn\u2019t able to find for a long time, when I felt constantly bumped around, displaced like a piece of furniture, like the constant frustration to open a door that only access another door and another, and another, without any indication of actually being able to enter any and settle for at least a brief instant. It might sound weird, but it made me feel like being stuck in parallel with my own life. It was as if I could see me, but from the wrong side of the mirror.<\/p><p>Once I was able to verbalize what I was going through with Jeff, it greatly helped me to determine what I wanted to do. It wasn\u2019t really about going back on the road that created so much ambivalence within me, but the suffering I envisioned I had to put myself back in without knowing if there would be a tour at all. The last 18 months of constant uncertainty, like so many of you, was having an unmindful and impacting toll on me. And if there\u2019s something that we\u2019ve learned during that distressing period, it is the fact that it\u2019s almost impossible to know what tomorrow will be made of. We are all navigating the dark with whatever personal compass we have\u2026 As much as I needed security and reassurance, I couldn\u2019t impose that burden on Jeff, no matter how legitimate it was for me to look for it. It was plainly impossible for anyone involved to offer me that level of stability and peaceful projection\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22477a8b elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"22477a8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tI saw you all clearly thereafter; I saw all the smiles and even felt the fondness of those moments to come\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f4213fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3f4213fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I think what helped me make up my mind was communicating with Bruce (The Pineapple Thief\u2019s leader) and his representative. The kindness and friendliness of those guys not only persuaded me of teaming up with them, but infused me with a cheerful fire. It changed everything within me after that. I called the band back into the emancipating stream of life that our singular creative endeavor is, and I saw you all clearly thereafter; I saw all the smiles and even felt the fondness of those moments to come. This is when it became real, honest. The tour\u2019s identity came shortly after: \u201cLights Stretching Over Sorrows\u201d. It suddenly made more sense than I could explain now. It was \u201cit\u201d. And it was just enough of a vision for me to join the tour, to communally contribute in a total abandonment, awakening latent soulful emotions, revealing some images of the invisible, allowing me to touch a fragment of the impalpable, to receive the intangible invitation and to welcome wherever it might lead me afterward.<\/p><p>\u201cSo where does this leave us?\u201d you may ask yourself reading this\u2026 I know there\u2019s still a lot of questions surrounding the pandemic, which also generates quite a lot of inquiries and concerns regarding the efficiency and legitimacy of the measures taken, along with the different alternatives being envisioned by local health departments looking to offer a safe environment to the people attending public events. If it\u2019s a puzzling and complex reality to deal with for us all, I\u2019m nonetheless deeply thankful for the sole idea of having the privilege to commune with whoever might feel ready, comfortable, and safe enough to do so. That\u2019s how I see it; a welcoming invitation\u2026 until we see each other again and again.<\/p><p>Therefore, in order to share such significant and vivid moments, I will have the blessing to be accompanied by the members of my band The Long Shadows, with whom I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the \u201cLights Stretching Over Sorrows\u201d tour bloom into a cheerful celebration of personal and collective renaissance. We can\u2019t wait for what I know will be uplifting noises and introspective catharsis every night\u2026<\/p><p>And if you are not familiar with The Pineapple Thief\u2019s rich musical universe, I\u2019m inviting you to discover their impressive discography and see what they\u2019re up to on socials.
