A little break, a little question, a BIG chance to redefine what we want!

It's your time to help this blog go further!

Alright my friends!

This is the last blog of the summer as I'll take a little step back to think and evaluate the reasons and ways surrounding this diary.  I have the chance to share with you every week.  In fact, Your Favorite Enemies has already started to put everything we do under the microscope, allowing ourselves to find new ways to do what we're good at and find new paths to improve in things where we feel we can reach even higher levels,... and who do you think is the center of our attention?  If you said "ME?" you are.... RIGHT!  You will have a greater understanding of what we mean by opening up everything by watching the videos surrounding the re-issue of the album "Love Is A Promise Whispering Goodbye"... Videos that you just CAN'T MISS by the way!!!

We are involved with you in a multitude of ways, music, live concerts, blogs, Q&As, chats, live shows, newsletters, social media, SFCC, human rights actions, and at this point we are excited to explore everything and redefine what we want and how we want to achieve it.  Music for us is a bridge to help all of us live a new life, new experiences, a new freedom... Music is for us a safe oasis where human hearts can connect, where the silence of loneliness can be broken and where hopelessness is quieter than the power of freedom flowing through melodies, sounds and words.

I realized a long time ago that I'm lucky to evolve in this oasis and even more I get to add my own little touch to it with this blog... a touch that helped me belong... a touch that helped all of us gather and discover more about each other.  But even if what we are reaching together each week is already amazing,I do believe there's something even more refreshing for all of us, a touch through this blog that could lift us even higher!

So just before I do my road trip towards inspiration, renewal, and redefinition I want to have your input as this blog without you would really only be a bottled message into an infinite empty sea.  So if you were waiting for the best time to leave a comment...the time is now!!!;) Tell me what you like about this diary... tell me any ideas as to how it could be improved... tell me anything that comes to your mind if I say "Miss Isabel's diary"...

I'm waiting to read you... and I have the whole summer to do so...So... Don't be shy to write!!!

Can you be more honest?

Our journey with you through 
"love Is A Promise Whispering Goodbye"

Life goes so fast. it's a statement we all hear or say numerous times. It's something we use to excuse the fact that we seem to lose control and are helpless seeing precious moments slipping through our fingers like sand. We look back and we can see a landscape made of victories, regrets, major turning points, persisting battles, reasons and remaining interrogations... Am I getting old to find myself looking back?lol Or maybe it doesn't have anything to do with age but with a desire to fully embrace the full spectrum of life knowing that the past contains treasures we might have left behind or lessons we might find useful now. Of course we can do that introspection personally but we decided, as a band, to allow ourselves to look back on the time we created the album "Love Is A Promise Whispering Goodbye" and see...see if there were any hidden treasures...see if we could 3 years later admit what really happened during that troubled season... see how we are now the fruit of that experience, how we learned, how we grew... see and try to explain how this album impacted each of our lives, the lives of you, our friends, and how this album is still today helping us to move forward and dream for more.

Some of you have been with us just a couple months and some maybe just discovered the band...well WELCOME:) Some of you are long time friends and you have witnessed and supported us through numerous seasons and journeys. But all of you will be amazed as in the next couple weeks when we will release intimate videos showing all the band members sharing so openly, so truthfully, so bluntly about everything concerning the album and the circumstances in which it was created. I don't want to spoil the surprise but let's say there are many things that were already revealed 3 years ago about how it was a troubled period filled with pressure, stress and difficulties but there's also a lot that, at that time, we didn't feel we could reveal... or maybe we just didn't want to first admit it to ourselves, things that we were so ashamed of and didn't know how to deal with. The fact is that many things that you will discover through the series of videos kept us away from really appreciating the amazing chance we had to share music with all of you and to taste what it is to release a creation like the album "Love Is A Promise Whispering Goodbye". It literally slipped through our fingers...

This is one of the reason we decided to create a re-issue of the album, as this time we feel we are ready to revisit this troubled period that still gave birth to music that is a part of our daily life, music that allowed us to travel as far as Europe, China, Japan, USA, and Indonesia.. music that inspired you, music that impacted so many people all around the world! I guess above all we needed to revisit this period of time to fully appreciate and move on from there and that's why we decided to answer very specific questions about the music and about our personal life surrounding it, putting our guts on the table, jumping with no safety net, daring to say the truth and all of it.

It's funny how we are all eager for "The Truth Behind" type of documents... well it's another thing to expose yourself! Well... we did it and we're still alive!lol More than that we are glad we did and we're now excited for you to see these videos, to rediscover the album and its re-issue with a new perspective, with its whole story in mind... we are just happy to feel so supported by you that YOU allow us to free ourselves from past illusions and YOU allow us to build the present, the moment without ignoring the past and even a chance to reappropriate what slipped through our fingers and today enjoy it's beauty and power.

I'm telling you guys, not only we're determined to share with you everything but we want to REALLY SHARE with you...:) So... after every release of the videos, we'll be together for a LIVE CHAT to talk about it! 3 different chats every week...one in English, one in French, one in Japanese...LIVE to have your input, how YOU lived it, YOUR questions, your side of the story too so we can all grasp the hidden treasures... Are you excited??? I AM!!!
