The Ghost Insiden vakavasta bussionnettomuudesta kulunut vuosi: näin yhtyeen laulaja Jonathan Vigil muistelee traagista iltaa

Uutisoimme vuosi sitten yhdysvaltalaisen hardcorea soittavan The Ghost Insiden vakavasta bussionnettomuudesta, jossa kuoli kaiken kaikkiaan kaksi ihmistä ja yhtyeen jäsenet loukkaantuivat vakavasti. Kolarista on nyt kulunut aikaa vuosi ja bändin laulaja Jonathan Vigil on julkaissut pitkän muistelun kyseiseen traagiseen iltaan liittyen. Voit lukea Vigilin tekstin tästä:

“It was a year ago today that an accident changed our lives forever. It’s been a whole year that we’ve had to deal with broken bones, amputated limbs, operating tables, hospital beds, psychiatrists and therapy.

It’s been a long year that we’ve had to think of ourselves as the fortunate ones who lived, while our driver and the driver of the semi we collided with passed on. That means that it’s now been over a year since we played our last show together.

And for me, that’s been the hardest part of coping with it all. I’ve (we’ve) been doing this for so long, that to stop in the way we have doesn’t sit right. I feel like I’ve lost my way. The psyche can want it bad enough but the physical limitations are still very real.

I’ve had my ups and my many, many downs throughout this last year. I’ve battled back and forth a lot with the future. When The Ghost Inside started, we we all lived in LA. Now that we’re older, we all live across the entire country. Which means we are able to group chat, but aren’t able to see each other in person whenever we want. After something like this, I just need to be closer with the guys but I couldn’t. And that’s where this comes in.

The Ten of us were able to get together in September and celebrate being alive. It was the first time some of us had seen each other since the night before the accident. I can write things down to try explain the feeling of just being together again, but no words could ever capture what that felt like.

Nothing I could say would ever rightfully express what that meant to me. As the saying goes “You don’t know what you have till it’s gone.” Well in this situation, I didn’t know what we had until we were all together again.

After that time together my future isn’t filled with doubts, it’s been filled with optimism. Instead of my mind just thinking “I can’t.” I now believe in “I think we can.” Being together again so many months after is what lead me to that belief. I’m thankful for that time together. I’m thankful for all those guys. I’m thankful to believe again. And lastly, I’m thankful to still have a future.

Alive and well. – Vigil“
