Take Comfort
Turn off this fire
switch off the lights
it’s time to retire
it’s no time to fight
this house is in pieces
i never saw it falling
it was such a beautiful view
One of my favourite bands ever have just announced they’ve spilt. The Cooper Temple Clause have called it a day.
I couldn’t believe, I was and still am in shock. I don’t know, I just never saw it coming they had continued and strive on even after losing a member. I actually just can’t let myself believe it, I just feel this weird sense of sadness as if I had suffered a great lost of someone close. I dunno I’ve never suffered an active lost of a band I’ve been currently into.
It seems so surreal that about a month ago I was watching them perform in Leeds and talking to them.
I know loads of people who are truly gutted by the spilt, people who love them even more than me. I don’t know I’m in a weird mood about it. I’ve so many amazing memories and gigs and nights out thanks to this band, as well as times where their music was something that kept me going when I didn’t have much else to cling onto. It’s been there through the hard times and the bad, that’s when you know and realise how much a band and their music means to you.
They weren’t the best band in the world, but they were one of the best bands in the world to me! And that’s what counts. Seriously a big chunk of music and gigs gone like that - it’s a sad day people, a sad day at a time where I really need the stuff I love around me as much as possible.
I feel like I’ve been stripped of a slice of stability.
What can I cling onto now?
It’s a sad sad day, even with such a nice photo that I took…
Goodbye The Cooper Temple Clause. Thank you for everything.
