Life, oh life. So mysterious, you are definitely where you are meant to be for now 💗

In 400 years we all will not look hot, but your music will people reach deep in there souls, because your music and your spirit are for eternity.

Amanda, my daughter Rory literally grew up with your music. She even had the opportunity to meet and chat with you a few times (book signing at Union Square, record store day at Rough Trade). She’s even taken drum lessons from Brian (the best!). She, like so many others, had the end of her high school career turned upside down… the musical she worked so hard on getting shut down right before opening night, schooling remotely for the end of her junior year and entire senior year, no senior year marching band competitions, applying to colleges where she had never stepped foot on campus… not to mention the overall uneasiness of the twilight zone everything had turned into. Rory has now landed at Boston University, and my husband and I moved her into school a few weeks ago. In our last day in Boston, we walked past the Paradise rock club and my heart leapt. Surely this is where Amanda & Brian played all those years ago? And right next to BU? Honestly, it brought me some sort of odd comfort, leaving her in this city so far from home. When this pandemic is finally over (or at least more manageable) and you’re able to move more freely throughout the world, it would bring me the utmost joy if The Dresden Dolls were to play the Paradise, knowing that Rory would surely be in the audience singing along to every song. Much love ❤️

Keep embracing this wonderful being you have produced- he is obviously much wiser than his years. A beautiful soul. Sending hugs 🤗🤗🤗x

I'll pass it on, when i'm there this afternoon for an outdoor meeting, where the chess is played; between the Pit & Holyoke Center. Perhaps there will be a living statue!

I'm not sure what the tone of this "ok?" is supposed to be, but I loved this post. I haven't been able to write much poetry lately, and this actually inspired me. Sometimes Amanda's posts are "Bring Your Own Art". I hope you're ok, too! ✨

Not sure what the origin of this quote is, but the version I always hear when I see it is John Lennon’s lyric from “Beautiful Boy” off the Double Fantasy album shortly before his demise. Such bittersweet feelings - joy for the song and album, sadness for his death.

I am not able to learn the name of that tree though my sister has a wonderful one in her Kiwi garden. That is why I call it Pocahontas tree…. 🥰

Yes I was thinking of that beautiful song; those words ring so true to me. More so these past couple of years.

I currently have the ”it’s just a ride” pendant around my neck. I can hear slight glimpse of the song in my head every time I feel its weight. I’m starting three weeks of radiotherapy tomorrow. It’s helping a lot. Thank you so much for all your words and thoughts.

Gorgeous photo, magnificent tree, cool sweatshirt, and I see that Ash is in his PJs!
