One of my favorite bands, Mcfly, wrote a book. When I first found out about this book I thought it would be full of funny stories about their years together. When you see videos of these guys or see them in concert they always look like they are having so much fun and goofing around. At times you can get jealous because they are always smiling and laughing. But this book gave a deeper look into how their lives have been.When you see the finished product it is hard to tell if anything went wrong during its making. I have all of Mcfly's CDs and I would have never know that anything was less than perfect during their production. I had never realized that not every CD is loved by the artist. I love all of Mcfly's music and it's rare to find a song that I don't like. I was there when Above the Noise came out and they were launching the Super City site. I never would have imagined that what they created was not what they had gone in wanting. It can be very disappointing when you have an idea and turn it over to someone else and it becomes something you did not envision. Although it did not turn out the way they wanted I think they learned some valuable lessons from the process and us fans got to experience something beyond the ordinary.
This book also gave us a glimpse of their personal lives. I would not have known that their lives and relationships with each other were anything other than perfect. But we have to realize life is not perfect. Everyone struggles with things. Dougie always appeared to be a fun, out going, wacky person. I was shocked to discover that he struggled so much with things. I'm glad that he was able to get a wake up call and start down a path that would lead him to recovery. When I was reading his story I just wished I could give him a big hug and let him know that things will get better. Tom I never would have expected him to have trouble with his mental and emotional states. As a fellow cancer sign I can understand the ups and downs that can come from being ruled by the moon. But his problems went far deeper than that. But Tom was able to get help and I think it is amazing that he shared his story with us.
I am very thankful for Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd for sharing their stories with us. I am appreciative that you were willing to let us into your past and let us see the things that weren't so obvious. I love your music and look forward to all your future project. This was an eye opening experience and I thank you for that.
