Nodes of Ranvier – RIP?!
Today I finally found a local listing for a 1980 Datsun 210 at a very reasonable price; this was a good find.
Today I also found something else. Something not so good.
In response to a passing comment from a relative, I recently changed the “top friends” designation for MySpace to “random” so that a new set of top 8’s comes up each time someone visits my main page. I glanced at my refreshed top eight as I scolled down the page and caught a glimpse of the text stating “Nodes of Ranvier – R.I.P.”
- moment of silence -
There is no formal blog or announcement yet from the band, but there are some friend comments claiming having been at the final show. I was not at that show nor was I personally notified before the public release of this news – there was no super-secret text list promotion offered for this leak but the actual delivery of the news is personally more devastating.
I am shocked. The new album had so much energy with all the new elements plugging in seamlessly and I was definitely excited about the return to a clearer message as well…but now it’s done.
Nodes of Ranvier had me hooked from the moment I first heard Thomas scream, “Do You Want To Dance?” I do want to dance. I want to keep dancing. I want to dance and dance and I want Nodes there to lead me. I will continue in Endless Faith but my dancing will be Defined By Struggle. I will no longer be able to dance for what is to come. My Dawning Age has ended. My Glass is now half…Half Nothing. I shall ever remind my fellows, Don’t Blink (Or We May Miss It) and to keep their Faith In The Faux. Even though we were In Too Deep, A Clean Head And A Clear Conscience tell us that It’s Going To Be Okay.
R.I.P. Nodes of Ranvier.
Thank you for the good times!
