It’s a universal human experience — you get home after a long day’s work, you’re tired and flat, and the only thing that can really pick you up is locking yourself in your room and belting out some killer tunes from classic American rock group Third Eye Blind. We’ve all done it, and if you claim you haven’t you’re either a filthy liar or you’ve been living a grey and joyless existence on this Earth for too long. Either way, you need to wake up to yourself, son.

The only unspoken rule of a Third Eye Blind soul session, besides the obvious requirement to play ‘Semi-Charmed Life’ at least six times per hour, is that it is a private endeavour — it happens behind closed doors, the only participants being you, your stereo and TEB, as the fans know them. You don’t encroach on someone’s TEB time. That is sacred time. If you hear the distant strains of ‘Never Let You Go’ coming from your housemate’s room upstairs, you leave them and their emotions be. It is known.

Now someone has violated the code, not only entering another’s private space during a TEB set, but filming their exposed vulnerability and fragile feels for all the world’s shameless eyes to see.

And now you have sinned, too. You have witnessed this man’s undoing, the better to revel in his misfortune. Go now in shame, and know that only vultures feast on the dead.
