Rock Heart #002: “The Courage of an Open Heart” feat. Senses Fail vocalist James “Buddy” Nielsen
On December 13th at the Starland Ballroom in New Jersey, we caught up with Senses Fail vocalist James “Buddy” Nielsen who shared some thoughts on opening up about his sexuality and, how in doing so, it has also helped others.
It’s common fact that music is not only supremely powerful, but can also elicit deep, emotional, physical and psychological responses. For thousands of years music has helped people to express their feelings, deal with loss, celebrate victories and so much more.
Urban Dictionary defines “rock heart” as “A person usually with a heart wired into the cosmos through musical vibrations, beyond time, beyond space, beyond death” and in our new series, Rock Heart, we ask musicians to share stories about how music, in any way, has impacted their lives, saved them or their fans, helped them out, etc.
