    __________________________________
    Cardinal Sessions was founded in the summer of 2010. They challenge the classic music video and try to replace impersonal footage with immediate and emotional snapshots.
    Bands from all over the world with their different genres present their songs reduced to the essence of the musical spectrum - only vocals and unplugged instruments. Due to the spontaneous live-aspect and the approach to record every song without any additional rehearsal, songs emerge that often sound significantly different to their album versions.
    We film on locations that the musicians mostly choose by themselves: remote places, frequented streets, parks, woods, fields, bars; nothing is impossible. We have accomplished our goal if the location fits well to the background of the music we and the artists want to present. But our most important purpose is that there are no borders: we film everything that we like, no matter how popular, famous or also unknown a band might be. It is still important for us to support local talents and it will always stay part of our concept.
    The Cardinal Sessions team can also be booked: for example to film short documentaries of album recordings, studio recordings or live concert moments that you want to capture.

    Had the absolute honour of seeing him perform this song live at a gig in Manchester in 2013 (I think it was). I hadn't heard the song before up until that point, but I fell in love with it instantly, and it was the highlight of a wonderful night for me...and that was even with him playing some of my favourites! At one point in the show he thanked us all for being so quiet and respectful, "...destroying the northern stereotype". We all laughed. If you haven't already, I really hope you get to see him live.

    I met this guy online, in 2020, when everyone was complaining about how bad that year was, he turned it into the best one I've ever had, he was so sweet, supporting, smart, and different from anyone I've met before, I believed that he was the one, he once told me that he liked me, then we got into a long distance relationship, but I'm locked in a place where I might never be able to leave, he was so sweet that he wouldn't say that he loved me cuz as he said that I deserved him to say it in person, three days ago, I ended this relationship, and it hurts like hell, cuz I really loved him and I still do, but it doesn't seem like we'll be able to meet, it hurts so much that I was the one who gave up on us, though I said that I'd do anything to make it happen, but life is just getting worse for me, and I let go of the most amazing person in my life, if you ever read this, I just want you to know that I love you, so much, and I'm sorry, and this song will always remind me of you.

      Kids now are having sex at 12 and being charged as adults at 15. Times have changed, buddy. If you haven't noticed, 3/4 people are in relationships now haha. We're all so co-dependent now.

    I wish there was a button to delete my existence, so I wouldn't have to hurt anyone when I go, so I wouldn't have to live with these scars, confusion and desire to disappear. Life has been beautiful at times, just being able to be healthy and walk in nature was all I could desire in life. Unfortunately, I learned that this is too expensive for me, I'm one of those that will suffer so the notion of not suffering exists. In a few days I might hear for de 4th time that I have to fight cancer again. If that's right, it will also be my goodbye to this world. For those who can live, live. You still have time to change your eyes for how you see this world, do it while your body can still keep up with your mind. If you are also weak like me, find the strength I didn't.

      Who knows what happens if I leave my room
      Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
      If I’m to die before you
      If I’m to die before I hold you
      Know my arms were the worst off for it
      If I’m set upon dried
      From my room as I write
      You won't be my last
      Thought before I quit
      Give my family love
      I would watch from above
      But I fear there is nothing but sleep
      Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
      Don’t know what's out there
      More fear I assume
      Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
      If I’m to die before you
      And if I’m to die before we spend a soft day
      Know my final thoughts will be of regret
      If I'm to drown in the deep sea that parts us
      I once lived and loved, don’t forget
      Give my paintings to Alice
      Tell all my good friends
      That I didn’t dare earn their respect
      Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
      I don’t know what happens if I leave my room
      Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do
      If I'm to die before you, if I'm to die before you

    This song doubles me over in silent sobs. It’s the silent wail of a grief that is too profound for human ears to hear.
