Live from home!

During this sort of quarantine, little sweetheart, everyone’s kind of at home. Things like plays and concerts and art exhibits all had to close or not open up in the first place. I’m glad we were in the middle of recording and not just about to release and tour.

Anyway, people are finding ways to work around it by filming things at home and sharing them online on YouTube and social media. One of the best ones is Ben Gibbard’s.

DCfC were such an important band to you and I weren’t they, little sweetheart? And for these first two weeks of Shelter in Place, he’s been doing about 50 minute show each day from his home studio, playing guitar and piano and singing songs from the whole catalogue, usually stopping about midway through to answer questions people send in via the comments online.

I’ve been watching since the second night and it made me so emotional to hear these songs that meant so much to us, little sweetheart. I cried and cried. But it’s good, too, I know because you told me to do just that - to listen to our music and remember.

I always will, my love. Always. Love you forever.
