Hey guys, how y’all doing?

So, I just came home today after seeing Dev yesterday in the Barcelona concert.

I don’t know how many of you were able to see him during this last tour, and this was an acoustic concert, in a small place in Barcelona, beign a very intimate and close show.

It was an incredible experience.

Those 2 hours seeing it, made me (a +30yo grown up dude) smiling like a child. It was beautiful.

He made us laugh, made us understand his suffering through the years, and made us enjoy in every sense the very incredible art of (his) music. He was so true to us, and so open, that it was a musical gift we could get to see him, not just as an artist, but as a human himself.

I met a few guys while waiting for the concert, and the 4 of us were talking about how emotional and wonderful it was, and what an experience to get to see live. I think I can firmly believe that all the audience had a similar vibe after it.

I’m writting this because, after all, Dev always wants to send a message of love, and how everyone of us deserve to be loved. And I think we all should pay it back to him.

I’d love to see everyone else’s perspective on attending this tour. It went so deep for me, and I’ll read the comments you guys drop here.

Finally, I don’t mean this to be a personal message to him, because I feel this is a shared sentiment from a big part of the fans. In case you see this Dev, or someone can make this get to him: Dev, you are beautiful. We care for you. Thanks. And go on, we are nothing less but expecting to see how you develop yourself and share it with us. You’re great Dev. <3

New album, dreamy synth music from Devin Townsend coming this Friday October 16th.

I'm really liking this type of music

Better than drinking. Sometimes. I began drinking this year. Awful timeline. It's too much. I do listen to SYL, it feels great too.

...

I was feeling down when I wrote this. I never drank after 21. I'm 39 now and begin. I'm in the US. That's why too. The news, seeing more people being homeless, people suffering, etc. But it's just some of the problems. Working on soon moving out and being away from mean people to my own place and be happy again. It'll be alright

He was amazing. This was a delve inside a mind, this was a Perrier award winning Edinburgh festival one man show type gig, but better because it was punctuated by snips of songs you love and then a discussion about the story behind them. It was really lovely and anyone talking shit about this tour just didn’t get it. Sorry. “Ooh he forgot how to play this song” sorry to break Kayfabe, but no he didn’t. It’s part of the show. Absolutely killer, and no one in the room I was in would disagree.
