[Subscribe to this Blog]
Love aint even a way to describe it. 'Miss' you yeah but that for me is also a vocabularific cop out. All the swear words in the world to describe my anger and pain maybe we're getting there. But then again not. As this whole unbelievable event is seriously undescribable. You should be here Sir. Yes that is correct. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I know it's hard for you this week I am all around. I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow. I am the diamond glint on newly fallen snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the soft and gentle autumn rain
When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft, starlight at night.
New songs of hope you must now seek. I am all around. I do not sleep.
I'm deeply sorry to hear of the loss of Carl, my condolences go out to Carl's family, friends and the band.
As a 15 year-old in Gt Yarmouth, The Cloudminders were the first local band to come along that excited me, inspired me, had songs that my friends and I would go away and work out on the guitar.. I shall listen to Cigarettes & Strawberry Blondes, and think of Carl at the BOTB 2000 Final; head down, hidden behind those long locks, so into the music, but what a powerhouse and what a fantastic musician!
My deepest sympathies and condolences as a young, talented musician passes. Take comfort in, that he has left us all such a present - His Music - and His Music lives forever..
The caterpillar dies so the butterfly could be born. And, yet, the caterpillar lives in the butterfly and they are but one. So, when I die, it will be that I have been transformed from the caterpillar of earth to the butterfly of the universe. -- John Harricharan
As an acknowledgement to Carl's musical contribution throughout our region and beyond, AMP and Amber Music Productions MySpace pages will be featuring two additional Cloudminders tracks this Month and throughout October. The flare and charisma Carl expressed in his guitar playing will always be remembered. Our deepest sympathies to Carl's family and friends at this difficult time.
Carl was an outstanding musician that will always be remembered here at Ashwood Studios. Once in a while you meet artists that are naturally gifted, Carl was undoubtedly one of the best with a style and magnetism that complimented his unmistakable smile.
The evenings spent laying down the guitar tracks will always remain with me. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to his family and the remaining talented band members, Gino, Mike and Lee.
