so, the rumors are true?
yes - i’m no longer the bassplayer in pain of salvation.

i’ve been a part of this band for almost 2 years and i’m honoured i was the chosen one. getting to know these wonderful musicians is even more of an honour… but i’ve reached the point where i just have to stop and walk my own way. exhaustion, yearning and frustration are the 3 main issues.

exhaustion: having a “normal day job”, being a rockstar and having a lot of other (heavy) personal stuff became too much. i wanted everything so bad i ended up being sick with no energy what so ever.

yearning: being on tour means waiting. waiting and waiting… i asked myself one day: is the life back home, the people i love, worth risking just being somewhere in the world waiting? my answer is no.

frustration: i wanna focus on my own music when i have the time for it. don’t wanna be a wheel in motion in someone else’s machinery… i have way too much inspiration and there is no space for this in pain of salvation. lack of dedication? no. lack of creative outbursts within the band? yes.

i can’t give pain of salvation 100% at this point, and the guys deserve better… the best thing to do is to go separate ways. we made this decision together and we part as friends. i wish them the best of luck!

huge thanx to johan, leo, fredrik, daniel and johan no2 for being my 2nd family and for giving me the taste of being the rockstar i’ve always dreamt about, since i was a little kid… (ironic, huh?).

thanx a bunch to all the people who have supported me! see you another day, in another shape.

this is simon, signing off.

ps. this is just the beginning…
