I had a dream that i had a "albatross" sweatband.. haha. After looking into the band, I am incredibly happy i did. I also really respect you as a musician and a person. These blogs give me and other fans a peek into your personal life and motivations. I'm starting to think God plays a much more active role in my life than i realize. Thanks for the inspirational music. Even if you never become a platinum selling artist/band just know that you have made a difference in my life. For the better. Thank you for everything you do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557807076913442483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198999559571921458.post-41550803507942145202009-12-17T17:47:12.572-08:002009-12-17T17:47:12.572-08:00Hey Matt.

I remember sending you a message through the band's myspace thanking you for writing the music that you did. It's always been an incredible inspirationg to me, a "semi-musician". I'm a music minor at the University of Mobile, and I know that music is NOT my calling, but I know that Music is a part of my life, and your music shows how much music can affect one's soul, both playing and listening. So, really look at how you measure success, Matt. In my book, you're more successfull than any other band out there, because you write music that isn't only fun to listen to, but I'd describe it as "life-giving". Thanks for doing what you do, and as long as you're doing it, I'll be listening. <br /><br />-JeremyJeremy Crewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965027152657656415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198999559571921458.post-18188634109637272732009-12-08T22:41:38.208-08:002009-12-08T22:41:38.208-08:00I am the same as you, i like to be there and then ...I am the same as you, i like to be there and then analyze my dream to see if it ever does have an effect on my daily activities. but it usually does not. anyways, i can not even express how excited i am for vagabonds. it will be amazing i am sure. anyone who records an album with no click track or anything, is immediately awesome. you all have a definite God given talent. you sound great on the last transmission song for moneta, i hope that i hear that at the show next friday. <br /><br />YOU SHOULD HAVE EVERYBODY WEAR THE UGLIEST CHRISTMAS SWEATER THEY CAN FIND!!!!!!<br /><br />then come to the line before doors and pick out the worst ones and then do something like the couch at the acoustic show. that would be so cool. can not wait for the show on the 18th.<br /><br />God Bless Everyone.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133899933158943102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198999559571921458.post-7207124461606567682009-12-05T15:57:33.728-08:002009-12-05T15:57:33.728-08:00Thank you so much for being real in your music, an...Thank you so much for being real in your music, and for writing for music's sake. Thank you for not trying to cater to what you think will get you "success." I play in an orchestra, where many people will measure success by how good the orchestra is or how far up you sit, which I guess is kind of like a band measuring their success by how many records they've sold or how many fans they have on Facebook. But I've learned that true success is measured by you. To be successful (please excuse me for using word so much) is to be satisfied, to love what you're doing. I don't sit first chair in my section, but I get to live my dream every time i pick up my instrument and play it. That's success. It doesn't require a person to be the absolute best by the world's standards.<br />I am incredibly excited for Vagabonds. I know that its going to be fantastic, because I'm sure that you wrote things that are true to your emotion. Your entire audience is going to appreciate this one :)<br />~BrittanyBrittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150796601402901480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198999559571921458.post-84195334528424422822009-12-02T22:44:18.104-08:002009-12-02T22:44:18.104-08:00This is good to hear, Matt.

They aren't chasing after the success of the last record, they are just writing out their hearts. And really, that is the best music.Katie McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081327182284474037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198999559571921458.post-91112510442823937652009-12-02T20:43:44.585-08:002009-12-02T20:43:44.585-08:00Ooo Vagabonds, can't wait.

You seem so much more real than other artists I listen to and love. I feel like there is such a soul behind the words, the vocals, and the instrumentals in TCC's music. Thanks for your authenticity, again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198999559571921458.post-35103521588641864622009-12-02T17:44:28.049-08:002009-12-02T17:44:28.049-08:00This is a hard blog to read.

(excuse my word choice)perfection wouldn't *succeed.* It's so incredibly frustrating that people wouldn't GET the music you guys make. But even so, suffering->character->perseverance->hope, right? It comes off considerably more selfish for a *fan* to say it, but I wouldn't change it if I could, either... <br />But I am so glad you're 'at peace' despite the lack of "success." It's really cool that you would be thankful, regardless. (We are certainly appreciative.)<br /><br />I look forward to hearing Vagabonds with incredible anticipation, and curiosity, and more than anything, excitement- if hopelessness and doubt produced The Silver Cord, I can't imagine what would be made from the kind of thoughts we've read in this blog since then.<br /><br />~MariéApostrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790147800357969726noreply@blogger.com
