Hello All!
This is more of an old fashioned "letter" than a news blog, or post. I felt it important to just rant for a few minutes about what you all mean to me.
There's special bond that I've discovered I have with you...
I've said this before on stage, and to some of you after the shows, but, the connection that I have with you is so much more than just "performer" and "audience". It's like two lovers discovering eachother for the first time. it's also a calling to arms, where some nights I feel like i've found long lost friends, people who believe as I do, even if we've only just met. It's also, sometimes, guilt free debauchery. On those nights, you feel like anything can happen... or you could do or say anything with absolutely NO consequences. You above all... are my enablers...you give me the power to do what I do on stage. You, as of recent events, have shown me, that these songs, that were once only my thoughts...are also yours. I have talked with quite a few of you who have gotten through a divorce or bad relationship with the aid of Better Sorry Than Safe. I heard from some of you who worked through differences with your lover, or found a voice with Familiar Taste Of Poison, and Bet You Wish You Had Me Back. Our new single, Its Not You through the eyes of a few 6th graders, is an anthem that they proudly announce to all the boys in their class ;), ...I even met a couple who walked down the aisle at their wedding to I Get Off. I have so many stories that you all have been so wonderful to share with me!!
These songs, a year ago, were merely things that I had to say. Selfish lyrics that I purged to get through whatever I was dealing with at the time. Now, they have become a gift. And it is the most amazing feeling to know that something I went through, or felt like singing about, has actually, inspired, empowered, healed, or turned on someone. You truly have made everything and anything I've worked for to keep this band thriving on, worth it!
Just know, that you are not alone in anything you feel (this is something YOU have proven to me in my own life)
and that YOU, and ME are unique, and slightly crazy people that decided to let Rock n Roll be the center of our Hearts...
Thank you for taking my breath away this year,
Lzzy
