Deafheaven is a load-bearing coping mechanism.

I got my copy of LPWP back from my brother. And I just randomly sat it here. And realized I loved it. I have my whole guitar rig set up and trying to come up with some McCoy / Mehra inspired guitar tones....

But...

Jeez is my life in shambles. I'd love to rant and vent but this isn't the place.

Deafheaven & my daughter (who shares the same name as the 2nd track off New Bermuda) are the ONLY things keeping me going. I'm throwing myself all into my own musical project. I don't want to shamelessly promote, not the place.

Deafheaven community I am a sad, and lonely 37 year old new father on the brink of total relationship collapse with my partner of 11 years.

I see myself in so much of George's lyrics. My struggles with 18 year addiction, sobriety of almost 5 years, marriage for 11... I emotionally bankrupt and the only thing left that fills the void and makes me feel anything is deafheaven.

The song "night people" is so beautiful I refuse to send it to anyone bc I know no one will ever appreciate it the way I do.

I dont know what I'm going to do. But I do know a few things. I'm going to listen to deafheaven, I am NOT going to drink or use, I AM going to love my daughter whether or not I'm with her mom, and I ABSOLUTELY refuse to go the way of Cobain, or Bennington or Cornell. My dad did that to me, at 25 years old. I can't do that to my daughter.

So deafheaven sweethearts, I need ya.

God damn do I need ya.

Holy smokes! When I first heard and saw this video from KEXP I was blown away. I was a baby fan. I didn't really appreciate the live to tape sound they are famous for. I always wished it was coming to vinyl. I had no idea until I saw it on this community. I immediately went and made the purchase. Rent money be damned. My job sucks, my employees give me a hard time, my wife resents me so fucking much. I have deafheaven tho. And this community. Oh and of course my daughter, the world's youngest deafheaven fan. Her name is the same as the second song on New Bermuda so naturally she's a huge fan!

Keep rocking deafheaven community. I love you all and I need you.

You all keep me sane!

Time to burn one to the sounds of my favorite band.

I posted on here a couple of weeks ago. I mentioned that I was struggling mentally and that deafheaven kept me going. I still feel that way I'm still struggling. I was distraught when I was unable to post in here because I felt like that I found a community of like-minded people. I did recently post a picture of my copy of Lonely people with power and it just so happened to be on a crosley turntable. For some reason that's what everybody focused on and started making fun of the record player. And didn't just happen on this community I stupidly cross-posted into r/heavyvinyl like that was going to do something cool. Everyone seemed to miss the mark though about what the post was about. You can go find it if you'd like. Either way I still think the Deafheaven community is the best on the internet and they do care for each other. I'm going to continue to post stuff probably on my shitty crosley record player and everybody can get right over that. Because it's my record collection journey. If anybody has such a problem with the Crosley they'd like to make a donation to me having a really nice record player that would be lovely but I don't think that'll happen.

Let's stop focusing on division and material things that divide us. There's too much hate in this world. But there's one thing that unites all of us and that's the beautiful atmospheres of deafheaven.

Let's take care of each other. Please. I need you all I don't have anyone else.

I got this copy a bit ago. But I was always of the mind to take better photos, maybe and entire photoshoot of the inserts. I love this album. My brother recently celebrated his 40th and he received his first HiFi style (similar to mine). He came over and I gave him a stack with this LP. He knows they're my favorite band. His is Ghost which of course I bought him and LP of. I was so happy to pass Deafheaven off to someone new. He's liked what I've played so far. But an LP is an intimate thing.
