Duncan Sheik on His New Album Claptrap, Looking Back on Spring Awakening, and Being a Dad

I keep coming back to how underrated and brilliant he is.

It's amazing how his life mirrors mine, but then again we are both gen xers. The lack of views and comments is both disappointing and surprising. I think he is an incredible songwriter, people are sorely missing out. I must admit I had totally forgotten about Duncan as I have not been listening to music, of any sort, for many years now. Lisa Loeb made an appearance on Professor of Rock recently where she mentioned him and I was instantly flooded with memories of my 20s. Then I found this video. Hopefully he does well with the new album and his theater projects.

Just a brilliant artist, writer! Got me through some rough times… he is still the soundtrack to life. ❤

[@3hooks100]

I can see what you mean. Two sides of the same coin, in a way, for me.

STEVE WOSNIAK ??

In all honesty...my inital reaction was literally "what-the-fuh"! He looks like a Star Wars fanatic who lives in his mother's attic!

My god what happened ??

[@MagneticNorthbound]

Alcohol? Med-related weight gain?? It's hard to say. I hope he's okay. Maybe the pandemic-related stress fallout?

Life happened. Each day brings about a new change and reason for people to struggle and change. What you once admired about him that you saw on the outside has now moved on to the inside. He is still the artist you once knew, but changed for his greater good. We do what we must to stay relevant and grow old and not in that order. Be kind.

@@clemetenemoore259 I agree with the "be kind" part.... but he really did go to seed. he was a dashing young man, now he looks like the comic book dealer on Simpsons. I understand about time. Greg Lake was a heart throb in the early days..... in latter days he looked like Fred Flintstone. Time is cruel. but those sandals have to go.

That can’t be him…I’m barely understanding him.
