I'm freeing you;

Circa Survive changes lives. I truly believe that no one who listens to this band can walk away the same person they were before. Something miniscule is affected. A thought, an emotion, a point of view.

Until Autumn 2006, all I knew of Circa Survive was the name - however, in a rush of risk and faith, that changed. The day I discovered this band was fated in many ways - I won't bore you with an explanation but know that because of it, they have been forever branded on my heart...perhaps in ways that no other musical artist has ever been or will ever be. I knew nothing of their music - not even the genre. But because of one person - a person who also changed my life just days later - I decided to get The Inuit Sessions and Juturna. It was by far the best investment I have ever made. That day I listened to both CDs, in their entirety, on repeat, until I fell asleep. For weeks after that, Juturna vibrated through my ears at least once a day. It didn't take long for me to realize that I could never tire of such an amazing composition of emotion and memory.

But the real kicker came when I read the band's biography. After listening to Juturna and falling madly in love with it, I had to know everything there was to know about Circa Survive. On their official website I found a full biography, explaining Anthony's real-life "follow your heart" story. I was absolutely amazed and enthralled at the sheer fairy-tale like quality of the events that led to the formation of such an incredible band. Their story and their music have touched me on so many levels that I can no longer identify them all. Surely you've experienced it - those extreme moments in your life that continue to echo in your heart years after it's all said and done. CS manages to capture those moments - my moments - in deep, darkly dramatic layers of sound that exactly replicate the reality of my memories. And Juturna's lyrical ties to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a story/movie that means a great deal to me, only binds me even more closely to this captivating group of artists.

This band destroys boundaries - they're such a rare breed...so extremely special that I lack words to truly describe how greatly they've affected me. There's something untouchably unique about them...something that has forever connected me to them. And I'll never be the same. Circa Survive entered my life at a time when I was really vulnerable - confused and unsure and afraid to take a chance on anything. But I've been inspired and enlightened...and even though everything still makes no sense, I'm not afraid anymore. I've learned, through this band - its members and music, that dreams can come true...and your heart doesn't lie.

Oh, now that I know, this changes everything...
