When he was doing 'Guys and Dolls' he said that we just didn't see what he was doing. Then it was the acting course. Because he keeps a low profile when not actually working, we don't hear of much he's involved with. It's only chance when we come across his charity work. We tend to only know when things are confirmed. He just isn't the type to just lay idle.

I was just thinking he must have gone new fans through the shows and if he used those songs as a sort of stop-gap album he could get back into people's consciousness.

I'd just like to hear something. I do love the Burn's night ones though - and the demos.

......so do i to Meg,esp the second song he sings at Burns Night,and i really love the demo's to bits!! :wub: .God, i'd love to hear Darius sing them live at a gig,they are too Amasing not to be!! :dance:I just wish that rather than criticise his music,people would actualy LISTEN to the Amasing lyrics,and understand why so many of us love and cherish his music,and his Fantastic song writing!! :wub:

I keep thinking that if the demos were rejects because the newer stuff was so m uch better, what are the newer ones like? I think we should have demos of some of them.

I just wish he would do SOMETHING. I cannot be optimistic any more Having heard that Rachel's website doesnt have a forum anymore, the Hotel Babylon appearance is not going ahead and, not even a whisper about anything else on the horizon, why should anyone still be interested in what Darius is doing?

 

Without any opportunities to hear him sing ANY kind of song whether its his own composition, someone else's, a show song or even a nursery rhyme, he will never have any kind of career.

 

Frankly I don't think he can be bothered any more. He has his home and family in Los Angeles and thats what matters to him. I never thought he would be the kind to live off someone else. Having been brought up in the same kind of household ethos as him (Scottish Presbyterian) where the work ethic is strong, I just do not understand it.

 

What makes me most angry is that years ago when we had a proper Darius community even though the management did not tell us much about what went on, there was information to be had. Now, there is nothing. We did not know he spent two years in drama education. He did not choose to tell his fans why he had disappeared. You do not hear, you start to wonder, you start on negative thoughts, it changes your attitudes

 

2002-2005 will never come again. They were the glory years. Huge mistakes were made by his management. A new song release after the end of the Tour would have cemented his popularity with a second number one. There was so much good will there for him at that time.

 

All it would take would be one really wonderful song and plenty of promotion. Comebacks work for other people. When a new member of staff joined our office recently and spotted my picture of me with Darius that I have at my desk she nearly had a fit "You met Darius??" she yelled at me. "How did you manage that ... I love him" I didnt want to overwhelm her with too many tales of meeting/hugging/being kissed/being comforted after tears/told off for not sleeping after nights by Darius yet let her tell me of how she voted for him, missed getting a ticket for the Bristol gig etc This is just one person out of possibly a million that are waiting for SOMETHING, for him to get off his arse and make it plain that his talent is still there.

 

In days gone by the wet kipper was a threat meted out to those who would do him down. FFS!! Darius needs wet kippering, he is doing himself down

 

 

Good to hear from you Trishiboo. Hope all is going well. I think we're all longing to hear something from Darius that will give us some hope for the future. Sue

hi, trish, yes I too am feeling negative, Hotel babylon was the last straw..come backs are for those who had large enough reputation to start with,

I really have wondered what Darius does want, I know actors etc do spend lots of time audtioning etc..but the album stuff is enfuriating, when there is still not an inkling of demos etc. I wont ever stop waiting - ther is no one else fills that gap in me. but some times keeping the faith is painful!!

then again usually when I am at my wits end something crops up and I am on a hihg again till the next absence!!

I believe he's working on things but wont say anything anymore until things are certain. I believe he has the talent and I have to trust him to decide how to use it. I doubt very much that he is, or would, live off anyone else. I'm happy he's in a stable relationship and hope he will always be happy.

 

He's an independant man (not a boy any longer) and I think that his nearly 2 yrs of acting class paid dividends in 'Gone With The Wind' when very few had anything but praise for him. I would hate to feel he had to fulfill our wishes rather than try and follow his own path. I think I'll just keep waiting, although I'll probably moan like mad now and again.

 

I do have faith in him.

I think we all must have faith in him to continue being fans without having anything to be a fan of. When he put "Faith in Me" as a B side to Kinda Love, there were many who said if he had released that song instead it would have done better and I was one of them. At that point, with Kinda Love being the first single in over a year and Faith in Me hopefully being an example of new stuff he was doing, I felt optimistic for him for the first time in ages. Then we had "the theatre era" which it is hoped not over.

 

But we could spin this conversation out over days, weeks, months, even years. Its a year since I last posted on a Darius site and from memory this kind of conversation was in progress then. He is happy with his life; whilst he remains happy with it as it is, I doubt if we will see him much, if at all. That is a waste.

It isn't if he's happy. I would rather him be happy than famous. I really believe he'll be back when he can. If GWTW hadn't come when it did, he'd have been here quite a bit in 2008. I miss the gigs. I think we all do but I can only hope for the best for him. If he lost the things he loved most because he was trying to do things for us, I'd be very unhappy.

 

He'll be back. I just have no idea what he'll be doing - although the singing never ends. Music is part of him.

I totally agree with you Trishiboo, which is partly why I started this thread and the other reason was to see if anyone else felt the same which obviously you do.

I just feel SOOOO confused at the moment! :(

We all know that following Darius never has been, nor ever will be easy, but it's the not having anything to hold on to that makes it so hard. Sue

Take a deep breath - it'll come.

Excactly Sue,i just SOOOOO wish that he would just send us a mesage,even if it was just to let us know that he hadn't forgoten us,ANYTHING just to hear from him,and that he'd let us know as soon as possible when something was going to happen............. especially the album!! :D

Take a deep breath - it'll come.

 

....................and we KNOW that when it does come,Darius is going to completly take our breathe's away again!! :wub: :dance:
