Anthony Green: If You’re Alive and Listening, There’s Hope 

Love you Monicat! ❤😉

Ditto

Love all his work

He is the best ❤️ the High and driving ep was always my favorite

I love and respect Anthony so much, as well. I wish I would have found out about him and circa sooner but I’ve only been a fan for about a year. He really did change my life and his music is just so so amazing and therapeutic to say the least

I'm rooting for you ❤

Ikr?

UNEXPECTED LEGEND ON THE PROGRAM!!!

This is also my first time hearing about him

He’s a legend in modern alternative music, he inspired every musician friend I have, and I have a lot. He’s my hero

@@f0kxi that's totally awesome

I've had the extreme pleasure of meeting him several time over the past decade and he has been the kindest and warmest human being every single time. Just an absolute angel.

@Sara Fox excellent chemistry set

Just my feeling!!!

Yaaasss 💛💛💛💛

Don't worry we'll be alright we can play footsies 8 feet away from each other

Living in isolation? Online meetings are a valid form to avoid isolation! And we meet here every Tuesday!

Same!! But good lord I’m old 😑

Same, fan since Translating The Name EP was released in June, 2003. 19 year anniversary in 2 months!

We do need to know about this stuff at an earlier age to know how to recognize it and find all of the solutions and there will be more forgiveness, patience and understanding amongst each other

Agree well said

I agree, she’s kinda derailing on the flow of the conversation when she interjects over Johnathan or a guest. She’s pretty bold and i dig that but it’s also suddenly breaking the moment when she does that

Nice comment Renee

Hope you are not being to rude on yourself! Sometimes we judge our past selves even though of their knowledge at the time. When in fact we were doing our best!

@@JoeRioux Thanks!

I had a nonfiction book called "Touched with Fire", which covered creative people throughout history who had bipolar disorder. My son is bipolar 1 and was completely psychotic during his adolescence (he's fine now). That tome became a very helpful resource for me, because it showed me how to navigate that world in talking to his total bastard of a psychiatrist.

@@vlmellody51 I was never implying all creative people are bipolar, but that a kind of “in the spectrum” is always needed. And yes, not only Van Gogh was bipolar. Geniusess and bipolar have a thin line in beteween.

@@marisamartinezolivera I'm a genius and I have known many people who are also geniuses and among us, only my son has bipolar disorder. The mad genius/scientist trope came about thanks to Albert Einstein, who was bipolar and had that wild hair.

Being in the music business I’ve met a lot of those workaholic artists who deep dive in and go into a depressive or low point afterwards because they’ve mentally drained themselves too long and need a break. Chemically this makes sense since after you’re done there’s not a whole lot of endorphins and dopamine, but for bi-polar folks it can be a marathon and so much so that it’s beyond unhealthy but more life or death. I’m bi-polar II and I’ve gotten a pretty good gauge on who might be going through the cycles based on where they’re at on a project given the time they’ve spent on working on it. For example, let’s say you’ve got two painters (a/b), both are tasked to complete 6 pieces of really great large format paintings. Both start and finish the first piece of work and feel good enough and still in a creative mode to start and finish another piece. Both painters finish, but (a) takes a break for a day or two then gets back into it, while (b) doesn’t take a break and immediately starts another piece. Now (a) starts their third piece while (b) is finishing their third, then (b) starts their fourth piece. Painter (a) finishes their third and takes a break for a couple days while (b) is still working on their fourth piece. When painter (a) starts their fourth piece, painter (b) is only 3/4 of the way through their fourth. When painter (a) finishes their fourth piece, painter (b) is midway starting their fifth piece, so painter (a) takes a break for a week this time. When painter (a) starts their fifth piece, painter (b) is almost done with their their fifth then starts their sixth piece. Painter (a) finishes their fifth piece, takes a couple days break then starts on their sixth while painter (b) is only 1/2 way done. Painter (a) finishes their sixth piece while painter (b) hasn’t finished theirs. If you’ve read through all of that and it the painter analogy makes sense to you, thank you for reading all of that. If it doesn’t make sense to you, that’s good! That means you don’t have to worry about that because it really shouldn’t make sense, but it does when you’re bi-polar. Maybe 6 paintings isn’t a healthy load to take on anyway in what’s supposed to be a short period of time, but imagine not taking a break through all of that and having your pace keep slowing down till you can function while all of those fleeting thoughts are still constantly flowing through your brain but are now in a feedback loop. That’s what it feels like to be bi-polar.

You should definitely check his music out. He has solo stuff and also his main band Circa Survive. They’re both amazing

Anthony has a popular song with those words you started with! “I’ve been patiently waiting…” I honestly thought you were referencing it until you said you hadn’t heard of him. Check it out if you’re interested. It’s called Dear Child.

Check out L.S. Dunes if you haven’t yet! I think that’s the project he’s focusing on the most rn.

​@@beardedqueenPast Lives their album is so good!

This part brought me to tears, too. He is just such a humbled person.

I'm a cross dresser too

Were all different like snowflakes and tree leaves

It's just another manic Tuesday, I wish it was monday, I'll listen to what you say, even on sunday, just have a fantastic Tuesday, somehow we'll all be okay
