Hi All, I have been a huge Feeder fan as long as i can remeber but never contributed on this forum so please bare with me. I do appologise if this post exist elsewhere. Around 5 years (it may have been longer). I took the option to purchase 2 limited prints from Dean Sherwood, who was the official photographer of the Silent Cry tour in 2008. I am ashamed to admit that i have never got round to frame these prints but i still take them out of the packing tube occasionally, totally in ore. They bring back some great memories from when seeing feeder live at the Northumbria Uni and many other venues in the past. These prints are incredibly special because they gave the fan an option to have their own chosen lyrics printed below the photo. It would be great to find out who purchased these, what lyrics they chose and maybe why. I have attached my photo for reference but it would be great to have a complete collection of these sat in this forum. what do you think?. If any one is interested in why i chose the lyrics i did. This was referring to me being in a dead end job and deciding on fulfilling a dream of becoming an accountant which i have now achieved. so miracles can happen . Cheers, John Attachments:

I remember this guy now. It seems like johnboro87 was one of the few people who were happy with their purchase.

I've got the exact same one as the original poster, with "It's Silent Without You" as the lyrics. Story behind it is deeply personal, but here we go.
January 2008, my dad passed away after an incredibly short battle with a very aggressive cancer. He was Lincoln born and bred, and started his own company doing air conditioning. He got the contract for the air con at the Engine Shed, and I was able to go behind the scenes at the venue multiple times before it opened. When it finally did in 2006, I couldn't have been more proud. His company installed the distinctive coloured metal all around the building as well, including the "big red box" outside.
Shortly after he died, I (along with a few others) was invited to a listening party for Silent Cry at the Echo offices in London. At the end of this, I mentioned the Engine Shed to the folks in the room as a potential venue. They'd not heard about it and said they would look into it. I later found out that it was mostly down to my suggestion that the discussions started to include the Shed in the tour.
The album came out, I immersed myself in it, and completely immersed myself in it. The title track carried more weight than most given the lyrics, and when Grant performed it acoustically at the show I practically broke down in tears. That shot was a perfect summation of the gig, and I felt the lyrics were a fitting tribute. Got it framed as soon as it came through, and it's been on my living room wall ever since as a memory of an incredibly hard time in my life, but remembering what helped pull me through it.
(Also, massive shout out to Pete and everyone else on this forum who helped me through what was a horrific time. Don't come here much that often, but y'all are amazing. <><)
