I worked at a bar which was connected to a caravan resort and a workmate invited me to his caravan to get stoned. Stoned I got. At some point I decided to walk home, I had my portable CD player with me (we're talking over 20 years ago here) and the one CD in it. Ocean Machine. I don't remember much of the walk home, this album completely scrambled my head.
I listened to The Hummer in LSD and I died, met a universe sized octopus god, I turned into a ball if light, I experienced every emotion from every perspective possible. Good stuff!
Same, my mate was watching the Retinal Circus, and I was thoroughly confused the whole time then I just had to ask "I thought he was the metal guy in Strapping Young Lad?" when this song came on
I cannot believe I only discovered him in 2018. This man is such an amazing human. His music is so emotional and impactful for me. I can’t imagine my life before it, without it. I saw him in Houston in March 2020 about a week before everything shut down. That was my last concert experience since. If I never go to another one, I’m glad I still have that in my heart.
The first version of “March of the Poozers” I listened to was the live version, so I went to listen to the studio version afterwards, but couldn’t find it. I did find it. It’s just that the studio and live versions sound exactly alike I couldn’t tell the difference lol
He has disbanded this project, but should be going out on the road with another band/group of musicians in support of his "Empath" album. He is definitely on my list of "must see" artists!
I saw him March 2020 in Houston literally days before everything shut down. It was mind blowing. He talked about how things were getting scary but to stay positive. This man is a treasure to this earth. I can’t believe I only discovered him in 2019!!!
My life is all that I've known And it's all that keeps me here My time is all that I own So I won't let it slip away... How long can this life go on Who we are what we are... I'll see you on the other side Wouldn't you rather live it on your own Even when it bends you over So when it comes time to go home You don't let them fade away... How long can this all go on? How long till it's over? And how long till it all comes down? ...And how bad do we need a new reminder? How long can this life go on Who we are what we are... I'll see you on the other side How long can this life go on Who we are what we are... I'll see you on the other side How long can this life go on Who we are what we are... I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side
I can confirm that's a side effect. I've been to his shows twice now, once at a festival, and the other in a (for an artist of his caliber) tiny venue. The second one was like a dream. It was perfect, I had goosebumps non-stop, and all of his songs were so beautiful and the guy was so nice to us all, I almost threw my panties at him. But yeah, in all seriousness, there is no other music that moves me so much than his does. I almost cried at his concert. Because I was watching a man doing what he loves, playing what we love.
@@MIDA4LIFE couldn't have said it better myself (minus the panties 😬). I saw him last Friday in a small venue and like you said it's almost like he's there, playing just for you. The set could've lasted days and it still would have been too short
