I honestly felt like this wasn't a book but a conversation with an old friend, in the wee hours of the morning talking about life, religion, art, philosophy and dreams. Here's two of my favourite quotes from the book -
"You can't change the world, but you can certainly change yourself. You can't control what happens to you, but you can learn to control how you react to it."
"I need nature. I need beauty. I need silence. I need the rain. Without these things, I feel like I'm slowly starting to wither."
I don't think Devin realises how much his art means to people like me. He is incredibly talented and humble (which I think is pretty rare to come across, as there are quite a few egos in the metal world). I'm really happy that he continued to make music, even though it almost broke him.
If you're a Devvy fan, I highly recommend this book. It's beautifully written, honest and compelling. It's nothing like other music biographies (honestly I feel like the content of most of the musician's biographies that I've read, is nothing but name dropping and detailing all the debauchery which happened on tour) it's also one of the most beautiful covers that I've ever come across, with a great CD (Icelandia) to have a listen while reading.… (altro)
