Did a gig in Leuven yesterday. It was organised for students (Students Welcome) and it was lovely. We were so lucky with the weather! 
The band is sounding better every time. One can tell we're a relaxed bunch on the stage, just having fun.
Last nights' gig was the last one (for a while at least). 

It's so hard to get any airplay at all and to get people to believe in you...sometimes I just wanna give up. It's such a struggle! 
So many new records come out every week that it's almost a miracle to get your tune on the radio. And meetings with the recordcompany are usually quite depressing : "The music industry is at its' lowest right now". There is always something or someone to blame : "It's because everybody is copying cd's instead of buying them", or : "One of the programmers at the radiostation doesn't like the stuff so it's not getting played", or how about this one : "It's because of the bombing in the US that we're not selling cd's (in Belgium???)" and another good one : "Your music isn't commercial enough". Well - of course I beg to differ. 
It's just the same old story.
 

In the meantime I keep on doing what I feel is right. I'm having fun making music that I love with the man of my dreams! Mr. Darling and I make a great team.

There is no pressure on my head because I don't have to prove myself to anyone.
Sure, sometimes I feel down, but it always passes :)

Sometimes I think I'm on a rollercoaster ride : one minute I'm up, the next I'm down and before I know it I'm upside down in some crazy, spiralling loop -de - loop. Hands high in the air, screaming and holloring, scared and yet at the same time strangely happy, hating it and loving it...wanting it to end and wanting it to go on... . 
That's how life is. Mine, anyway.
