Michael Malarkey Instagram – FOUR YEARS OF #GRAVERACER?! I really don’t know where to begin. Everything around and within this record is so intense; it’s often hard to talk about. First off, so much love and gratitude to everyone that has held this music in their hearts over the years. It was a truly cathartic experience living it, writing it, recording it and then finally sharing it on the Graveracer Tour at the top of 2020 right before a global lockdown. I’ve always embraced “the poetry of life,” but it’s usually a little more subtle… When I look back and think how different everything was before this moment in time and how tortured and broken I was and try to make sense of it all, I am lost for words. It seems like I was in a coma. Partly one of my own design. All this to say that I feel incredibly lucky to still be here and to have been shaken awake, feeling everything almost as if for the first time. The beauty and the terror of it all. It’s often bewildering and painful, but it’s also real as fuck and I wouldn’t change that for the world. I have better tools now. A better head on my shoulders. Better boundaries. I don’t know what else to say. Maybe I’ll tell the whole tale one day. Maybe not. But it’s all there in the songs if you listen… So much love to you all…everyone reading this….and especially to Alex, Tom, Wayne, Glover, Danny and Nadine for helping me bring this dream to life and come back to mine.
