I suppose what makes it all so confusing NOW is that Darren has said that the whole split thing was Bulls**t and that it was blown out of all proportion by the press...and the situation is 'never say never' to another album at this current stage in time.

I find it very interesting that John Woodruff chose to send the Today show to the US to talk to Darren after the news broke. There must have been a reason why he did that, I suppose it was so that Darren could give his side of the story properly.

I wish Daniel the best of luck with his new venture. I've got the utmost respect for the fact that he saw the potential in Darren and helped make him a star. And yet part of me wonders now how easy it will be for him to repeat that success with others. Having a good voice and song-writing ability is one thing, but having the rawness and gifts lyrically, musically and the emotion that are Darren's biggest strengths is possibly a different thing entirely. Even though I wasn't there to see the band together, it is still completely obvious that a musical chemistry like that wouldn't be an easy thing to emulate or reproduce deliberately. Guess that was one shooting star that burned out far too soon, sadly.
