I flew to the coast to get well.
You left me a guitar for my thirtieth birthday.
With a note, you wished me well, you sent me love
and I’ve never cried so hard.
The next few days, I don’t remember much.
We traded with each other all we lost.
And that note, I kept it on my bedside table.
I let it guide me. Just breathe.
There’s never been a right time.
Crash and learn another time.
We strive to love and be gentle.
There’s never been a right time
but this could be the last time.
Hold tight.
Just breathe - a mantra I repeat.
So simple and yet so vital, for the sake of my survival.
We all deserve a chance to love ourselves
when addictions are addicted to our former self.
Hold tight, just breathe.

Friendship has been a pillar of audio/rocketry’s blistering rally cry from the start, with the core duo of Joe Vickers and
Matthew Murphy expanding to accommodate a rotating crew of some of Edmonton’s hardest working musicians. After a decade of touring the continent, the band finds itself distilled to its strongest bonds and purest sound with the addition of Blair Drover and Jerome Tovillo....more
