I love you. I love you. I need you. I want you. I've always been around you.

Probably the best band you've never heard of- The Devin Townsend Project. This is one of the songs from their new album. They don't even have a proper video for it. The youtube link is from a Spanish fan.



Devin is a veteran of the heavy metal scene who decided to go out on his own a few years ago. He's made five albums under the Devin Townsend Project name and I think his latest is the best. When describing the album, he said he wanted to make heavy music with a positive vibe. Songs about love and devotion fill the album and are usually not themes of heavy music. He's proved that it's possible and that you can sound great doing it.

I just discovered his stuff in the past few months. I have watched some videos of the band performing live on youtube and they sound great.

Do you have the new album "Epicloud"? What do you think of it compared to his other stuff?

That's some good stuff right there, but, no, I've been smoke free for almost 6 months now. My brand was Marlboro Menthol Gold or Lights as we used to say. It's sorry to say, but I'd probably still be a smoker if they cost what they did when I started 24 years ago: $1.10 a pack.

But I'm glad I quit. I feel a lot better as well as having more money. They were $5.94 a pack with tax here in Indiana when I quit.

When you find your eyes watering or wrinkling your nose at the smell of other's cigarette smoke, you'll know you got it licked.


Good on ya.

Going to be really glad he's a non-smoker when he's a dad and has a set of tiny little lungs to worry about.
