Professor Oliver Moriarty or Pusskin for short
“All of your music reminds me of my wife.
I always watch the support acts at gigs. You never know when you will discover something awesome. I first heard your aamusic when you were on tour with Ginger Wildheart in 2018. My mind was blown and I became an instant fan. I plundered the merch stand for CDs and listened to them constantly.
Sarah very quickly noticed that I wasn’t listening to progressive death metal for a change, and she immediately fell in love with your music too. She knew all the lyrics and would sing along to all your tunes. We got married that year.
In 2019 we made it along to one of the last She Makes War gigs in Totton, and we chatted with you briefly afterwards. Sarah went all fangirl and soppy and it was super cute.
Then lockdown happened. But Penfriend happened too. Whenever there was an online gig we would make it a proper date night. We are fans of pretty different artists and bands, but we both totally connected with your music.
Two years ago, the world lost Sarah. “Paper Thin” played for her when we said goodbye.
There is no doubt your music is a major part of the soundtrack of our time together. And I feel the connection with Sarah especially deeply when I listen to your music.
We never managed to have children, and the cats are our babies. Hence Oliver the giant orange Pusskin.
I hope our story resonates with you enough to make it into the artwork. It would mean so much to us and I am sat here with tears in my eyes imagining her face if you said yes to this.”
