alright let me try to explain this.....
the book ... interwoven the fabrics of your life, the universe, and PHiSH music.
I have had a hard time as of late and the song Scents and Subtle Sounds was my release from that negatively and darkness. I went into the last week of tour hoping to hear it as a release and validation of decisions i have made and etc... When, beyond my wildest dreams, they actually started playing it, i started to weep. Saturday was only the verse and then ripcorded into CDT. and i initially felt like ..poop that isnt what i wanted, but that is not how this works. The book is to help you chose being friendly and kind... not live your life or bring you joy, you must decide to find that. On sunday, when they played the intro i weep again with the biggest smile on my face because i then understood the message was ... for me.. that it is to choose positivity and joy over grudge and anger.. (the problem i had to fight thru had to do with loud sounds etc..)The switch -a-roo of that song both nights just double downed my life decisions regarding that situation in my life earlier. You did good in your decisions and we will slap you one more time to make sure you do not misinterpret the message of this chapter in your book. I know it is not for me but ... sometimes i feel like it is. Chase the feelings not the tunes, my phriends. i hope that makes some sense. i assign some life affirmations to tunes as they help me in certain times of need, joy, success, or darkness.. and that is how i fish.
what im saying is the boys always give me what i NEED, not always what i want or think i need, the book knows and guides... be safe and thank you for sharing.
I absolutely also absorb “messages” from the shows about my personal life and the events going on, good and bad. I’m always amazed at how the songs in the shows, and their order, can mean something super meaningful to me and also to others but have a different personalized meaning for them. I often imagine being at a show is akin to being at Mt Sinai when god “revealed” himself to the Israelites; especially during the YEM vocal jam - sending messages about the meaning of life and what’s important both individually and collectively, in a language that we don’t speak but we receive the message nonetheless.
Just as long as they're not YEM vocal jamming about gerbal in yer bottom :)
