1, 2, 3. Hi, we’re The Patience Project!
(Run to Paradize by The Patience Project)
Lee: Being on stage is definitely not stressful at all for me. I love being on stage.
Davie: I think the ten minutes leading up to getting on stage is always stressful
because you’re running around thinking, “Is everything set up correctly? Is Jason tuned?”
Steph: Do I remember the lyrics? Am I going to stuff it up?
Ryan: You want to give your best performance all the time, so
Steph: But it all seems to come together when you’re on stage
it’s kind of more of a cleansing, de-stressing thing when you’re actually doing it
Ryan: As soon as you get that first verse and chorus down, you’re like, “Ah, yes!”
Steph: Yeah and you know that you’re not going to forget the words.
Ryan: Listening to ballads, personally. Soft stuff calms me down.
Davie: Listening to ballads, writing ballads, creating ballads, thinking about ballads
Steph: I do like listening to ballads to de-stress.
I got to say I’m really loving Adele at the moment.
There was this guy that sang this wasabi song once
and that was really horrible, I never listened to that song again.
Lee: It just makes you stressed even thinking about it
Steph: It’s like a stress
Lee: It’s like a stress maker
Steph: It’s like a stressing ball
Lee: I love Motley Crue. Motley Crue I really, really love and Bullet for My Valentine
Steph: Oh yeah
Lee: That's two bands. INXS, big one as well
Jason: One of my favorite bands to listen to is called Alexisonfire
but they just broke up so I’m pretty stressed about that
It's hard to listen to when they just broke up
Lee: Actually making friends, you know, we’ve got a band but we’re all friends as well
and that’s a friendship long after the Patience Project will ever be will be our friendship still standing
and that’s a really, really strong thing about a band I think as well
Ryan: Building relationships and support networks is really important
and being in a band or a sporting team
or whatever sort of group activity you can get involved in I think is really important
Steph: It’s a good escape
Jason: It gives you hope as well. If things aren’t looking good today
you know something better is coming tomorrow because you’ve got that thing in your life
that kind of constant that keeps you moving
Davie: Music and the band, it serves a purpose.
It really is for us something that when you think, “Oh I’ve got nothing going on”
You’ve got your band to sort of always be excited about
and it helps you to want to work hard and builds determination in you
Steph: It’s something for you to throw yourself into as well if you just want to have an outlet
and forget about something that’s going on in your life
or use something that’s going on in your life and channel it and turn it into music
It gives you a really great outlet to block off what’s really going on and just focus on that one thing
I mean for us, it’s writing music, but you might paint or you might box
you might go to the gym and just bash it out on a boxing bag
and all of a sudden you’ve made that problem your ***
Justin: I was waiting for it.
Davie: With any issue you have in life, if you can step up and face the problem
you have the ability to control your own destiny
and everyday people face huge issues, but if you really try you can dig yourself out of that hole
and you can be a better person and you can fix your own problems
and there’s always going to be obstacles but you can do it if you really want to
Justin: People go to university and go to school to train out to be doctors and lawyers and accountants
and we just kind of train our emotions to be conveyed the right way through music
Steph: We try and make our dreams come true everyday
and it’s something that’s not going to happen overnight, it’s something that you can really work towards
so I guess knowing that it is possible and within reach is really important as well
