Hey Mae, first of all I just wanted to say thank you for being the musical backbone of my life for the past seven years. I discovered you guys in 2007 when I was 19 and just a year out of high school. I wasn't sure what I would be doing next like most people at that age, but one thing that always made sense was writing anything from poems to short stories, and I found I would write with so much more meaning when The Everglow was tickling my eardrums.
Last year, in April, my mother passed away. The love I had for music and writing suddenly didn't matter; the sadness in me tried to convince me that death was inevitable, so why should I even continue sharing the emotions and ideas I had? One night when I was laying in bed unable to sleep, just a couple weeks after her death, I remembered a part of your song Anything:
The pain it won't even cross my mind.
There is wonder in everything.
The rope gets loose and the chains unbind.
And I can do anything.
That stuck with me and I kept repeating it everyday and have since, and it has gotten me through some tough days. I'm sorry I didn't really have a question, but I wanted to personally thank you all. Like the fisherman said, “We all need a little love.”
