👁  07242020  🎬  2020 *coincidentally, while watching this film, i noticed that today was also the 5th anniversary of the tragic death of Joey, the 12-year-old son of the main subject of the documentary— single father of two sons, wounded Afghan War Veteran SFC Brian Eisch, US Army.

fun fact: when i was a kid, i hated Bob Dylan’s voice to death. i have since better appreciated his songs and have listened to more than half of his catalogue. but i still don’t own any of his albums. the local library takes care of those for me though. nowadays, Dylan always elicits a chuckle the moment i hear him singing on my car’s radio.  😉 👁   07102020   🎬   2019

for years, I’ve heard the song Chasing Cars a lot on FM radio on my regular drives back and forth from work but I never bothered to look up more about the band behind it. Then a couple years ago, Josh Groban and Sarah McLachlan did a beautiful rendition of their song entitled Run at a concert at Pine Knob, which prompted me to finally look them up online. Then on May 1st while scrolling through Netflix in the wee hours I stumbled upon this 2018 documentary featuring the aforementioned Irish-Scottish band. Now, even if only for their two hit songs mentioned previously, I now consider myself a fan. 

a fairly short presentation about one of the most legendary ancestors of modern music, and his incredibly mysterious backstory...
