Passion doesn’t die
Passion doesn’t die. If you’re persistent, it gets leaner, meaner—something you carry like a scar you thumb when no one’s watching. The Reversal of Man set wasn’t a reunion; it was a resurrection. Not nostalgic, not a half-throttle victory lap. It felt real. You could hear the years spent thinking about this in the first notes: riffs repeated over and over in quiet rooms, lyrics mouthed in the shower, fingers counting time on tables. The work never stopped.
Whoever said this opportunity comes once in a lifetime is full of shit. Truth is, whether you think you still can or can’t do it, you’re right. That’s it. Keep the fire. Give yourself permission to love what you love and to pursue it free of judgment. Drag it out of your head and into the world. Make the room feel what you feel.
