We watched the Eraserheads docu on Netflix the other day. The documentary basically showed the journey of the E-heads from the beginning. It all started when Ely Buendia recruited for replacements for his original band. It was definitely not a walk in the park for them and a lot of people helped them grow and eventually become a legendary rock band.

Take a Risk
The group didn't sound good in the beginning, but their music was unique. That's what caught the attention of the owner of Club Dredd and eventually the music label that took them in. It was on their "last performance" when they were discovered and the music label took a chance on them.
Relationships Matter
The group eventually grew in fame. They became famous and did a lot of shows here and abroad. Ely mentioned though that they were a group, but they were not really close to each other. Issues were never discussed and that led to their disbandment. Ah, it's a very genX characteristic. Don't rock the boat, don't say anything, keep the peace. It took a very long time before they got back together.

Music Heals
One of them mentioned that they may not be close to each other, but they make beautiful music when they are together. We watched them when they first got together in BGC (where Ely fell). Then we watched them in Singapore (2013). And then we watched the Final Cut online (I think via TFC if I remember correctly). The group felt very different by the Final Cut. They even hugged at the end of the concert. The documentary also showed some behind the scenes of them having fun together.
There are things that only unfold after decades. Healing takes time as the old adage says, "Time heals all wounds." When you get on age, you'd really forget what was the issue anyway and the past will just become the past.
Have a blessed healing Sunday everyone!
