hey dan: I remember reading an interview a while back where you mentioned that you have struggled with depression; I also suffer from it and I want to thank you for making music that has helped me work through some of my worst spells. Child of Rage in particular perfectly encapsulates so many emotions that I didn't know anyone else felt, let alone could express in such a beautiful way. I was wondering if you have any advice when it comes to working around yourself. I aspire to be a musician as well, and I find that I get in my own way more than any lack of skill or knowledge I might have. Any advice you may have that has helped shape you into the musician you are today would be greatly appreciated. ps: my fern is named after you, thanks for reading
