Let the Bullets Fly

Being the lead singer of a band has its share of chaos. It can be a rough lifestyle. You live out of a suitcase, rarely sleep in the same bed twice, go to a lonely hotel room after the high of a show, truck stops offer you those nice “unisex” bathrooms (something NEVER meant to exist), and you get to pull some real crazy all nighters. Regardless, Inhabited has been the most amazing experience of my life! Why? Mostly because of the people I’ve been honored to share the stage with.

Like any band that’s lasted for any length of time, we have gone through our share of musicians. Band members have come and gone, but there are two people who have played a vital role in Inhabited from the beginning…that’s Marcus and Charlie!

These two guys have had the guts to risk it all, and live a dream, no matter what the cost! They have sacrificed far more than anyone on the outside will ever know. Listen to Jonah33’s song “Bullets”! The passion and message in that song beats in their hearts! It’s crazy that I have been blessed with the kind of friends, who I am certain, would take a bullet for me! They are a rare breed. They have fought through blood, sweat, and tears to keep the dream alive, when many others abandoned ship.

I’ve seen them walk onto countless stages, and play with every fiber of their being, just so their audience can feel the music like they do. You see, to Marcus and Charlie, it’s far more than mere “entertainment”! Music runs in their veins, it’s what keeps them alive. So, every time they step on stage, no matter if we are playing a huge show or a smaller one, they pour themselves into that moment! I love that about them!

Honestly, I’ve found very few people so loyal, and trustworthy! The older I get, the more I realize that friendships like these are the rare gems in life, we are lucky to find them at all.

So why am I writing this? Because I am thankful! Sometimes we overlook the good things in life because they are always there. Unfortunately, we often neglect to see the extreme value of things until they are gone. So, I wanted to write about them because I am so blessed to have them in my life. I thank God for them! They are my very best friends, and I want the world to know how dear they are to my soul!

I love you Marcus and Charlie!
LOVE.saradelight*

True friendship is definitely a rare gem in life and something to be greatly treasured. People who will stand by you through out anything and everything especially in the midst of storms are hard to find. Great blog!

Oh how true how true! true devoted friends...ones that will stand the test of time, are very few and far between....
And yes there are band *members* and then there are true gifted musicians....ones that give out what they take in....and that is what you guys have....I once read a sign in a guitar shop that said...You play how you practice....and it shows that all of you put your heart and guts into your work.....
they are as blessed to have you as you are to have them :)
have a great weekend...
