Default Billy's journals- To Forgive

It such a shame he stopped writing them, they provided loads of insight into where his music came from. I hope he starts writing them again and they werent just a publicity stunt to sell TFE

I was just reading 'Singing happy birthday while bombs go off'
and i really think the events he described here inspired the song 'To Forgive'
has anyone else found this or is it just me lol

Yeah I think you could be right. I mean there are some obvious references in there, especially lol the 'empty party afternoons' bit lol. But then again billy's had lol quite the childhood, maybe the song's about his lol entire lol life. I mean rofl he says 'I sensed my loss hahahaa before I even learned to talk' and surely that was way before the diary entry lmao unless billy learned to speak when he was like 6 years old, lol!

Yeaaah i do say lol too often sometimes, no i dont find billys childhood funny.
Really love that song and it makes it so much more moving to learn the events that inspired it. Thats why i really liked those journals, i mean i know some people thought he shouldnt have written them.....

I'd rather read a noob's irritating thread about some over talked about topic than have to click on a thread that seriously does not deliver

Hi guys, we have been working hard on the new album. It is cosmic. Today Billy used his pedals, all 100,000 of them. It is going to be great. Honest!

Well I thought I would give you an exlusive!! and here is the 7th!!!!



Hi guys, we have just finished the album, and are now looking at the artwork. It is Astral.
Captain Moonbeam approves, and thinks that we will blow you away - and in our Hearts we know that it is going to be incredible. I can reveal that the studio walls are made of wood. I don't know what kind. I think it is birch.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were just a publicity stunt of sorts. Sorry.

The best blogs were the ones about siamese dream and Adore. Although he never really took those stories to their ending which was a real sh sh sh shame.
