Hey Everyone.
Thought it was about time I wrote and said hey. And thankyou! My 33rd birthday was made extra special because of your best wishes. Thanks for the notes, the cards, presents and messages. I finally got through them all and I feel...well... quite spoiled. I had a great day. Got lots of cool star wars presents and was surrounded by my beautiful friends.
And your well wishes of course!
What have I been up to? Well music really. And life.. Renovating a beautiful old English house and writing hopefully the best songs of my career. That's been my challenge with this new collection of material. I feel like my last album got so much wonderful positive critical feedback and showed me the other side of what my career had always been
missing. Bravery…regardless of commercial success. I'm still so proud of ‘The Tension And The Spark’ and of your support of that album. Now I'm wanting to do something challenging in a completely different way. I wonder what I'll come up with! You'll have to wait and see. But just know I've been loving the process. I've got so much to say... and I'm putting it all into song.
I've been working with some old friends and some new ones. About to head off to the U.S. to work on more music. Who knows? Maybe I'll have something to sing to you real soon. But you know me! That could mean anytime from now until next decade! Just believe me when I say I've been dedicating a LOT of time to new material.
I wanted to send my best to Kylie. As an Australian I am very proud of all her professional achievements and similarly of her courage and determination during this difficult time. I have every faith she will pull through this and continue to thrill us for a long time yet!
There are a number of people very close to me at the moment who are dealing with major struggles in life. They are not public people so I won't share details here, but I did want to send out my love, respect and honor and thought I might be cheeky and ask you to send any left over positivity you have to J and S.
As we get older, life continues to surprise us. I am so thankful for the beautiful things we take for granted every day and encourage you to remember to cherish each and every second we have together.
Here's to getting better!
Love and light
Darren
