feeling very grateful right now

Post by alba »

new to the forum so forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place
its amazing to me to think that ive been a fan of this band since i was a teenager 15+ years ago and just recently found out about this forum just in time for the new release. i registered just before knowing about the VHS and the new release confirmation and im very excited to be here just in time it feels like deep sincrhonicity, even if it sounds corny is the way i feel it.
i can imagine this music is as important for you all as it is with me, the old albums rly helped me thru a tough time during the end of highschool and the music is really pushing me thru the hard time im having right now, and now this new release is adding much needed excitement for the near future. when struggling ive found it really helps to find these seemingly small things to look forward to and in this context a new album from Boards of Canada is huge for me.
im sure im not alone in this feelings so i just wanted to share with you all and in the way welcome myself into the forum
godspeed

Hey, I think I saw your comment on YouTube this morning!

Welcome, Alba!

These are rather depressing times we're living in, and I'm sorry to hear that you're having a tough time right now. Let's take this BoC teaser / soft announcement as a sign that the Universe has better things in store for us - That maybe this is the turning point, where things start looking up.

Cheers!

Great story alba and great to have your here. Hopefully this all will help you guide into the right direction :)

We try to keep the BoC subforum concentrated to BoC only so I've moved your post to The Playground>

Happy posting!

Agreed. Was just saying to Rikkiebags the other day, great art appears when it's most needed. I firmly believe that.

Welcome alba. As others have pointed out, you're in good company here.

It's a great time to be a Boards fan and I love seeing old and new faces pop up.
