Damn, sorry to hear that man; my condolences. 😔

Throwing myself into music/HH has gotten me through several REALLY rough patches over the last 9 years or so…

Thanks for the well wishes. Everyone has their own way of grieving and mine comes across as being somewhat emotionally detached I think. For the most part I am trying to carry on as normal but obvs not working as got so much shit to sort out with paperwork, funeral and insurance etc.

Trying to just keep myself occupied mostly with my usual things like music, movies and video games.

Just my way of dealing with things, and think its this same kind of level headedness that got me through the whole cancer bullshit, and why I never let it get me down.

Mate, I lost my Mother when I was 25 (cancer 45). She was a single Mother and I'm an only child, so it was always just me and her.

I have absolutely no hesitation in saying that she was my best friend. 

I'm 51 now and still miss my Mum every single day. 

I hope you're not going through this alone mate.

Lost my dad when I was 2. He was 38 and died from electricution. So yeah, while I do have three siblings, my mother had to raise all of them on her own. The oldest was just short of 15 when he died, and the youngest was 9 months old.

While I obviously do feel sad I lost my dad, I never really got a chance to know him but I have known my mum for 52 years, so yeah it hits hard.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
