🎧🎶 Ships In The Night to Perform at Wave-Gotik-Treffen Festival! 🎧

Ethereal darkwave artist Ships In The Night is set to perform for the first time at the upcoming iconic Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany. This performance marks a major milestone for the project helmed by Alethea Leventhal, known for her haunting vocals, cinematic soundscapes, and emotionally charged live shows.

Wave-Gotik-Treffen, held annually in Leipzig since 1992, draws over 20,000 attendees and transforms the city into a celebration of Gothic culture, music, fashion, and art. Ships In The Night is scheduled to perform among a vast selection of acts spanning darkwave, post-punk, and industrial genres that include Drab Majesty, Public Image Limited, New Model Army, and Selofan, to name a few.

Ships In The Night’s latest album, “Protection Spells,” was recently released by Metropolis Records, earning critical praise with a sound that echoes the melancholy of ’80s darkwave while also forging new emotional ground. “It’s an incredible honor to be part of a festival that has meant so much to the dark music community for decades,” says Alethea. “I’m excited to bring Ships In The Night to Leipzig and share this experience with people from around the world.”

Ships In The Night will perform at Moritzbastei for the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig on Friday, June 6th at 9 PM.

WHAT IF YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY? 🤔

Let’s be real for a moment: this whole “pursuit of happiness” thing is getting a tad annoying, right? 🙄 Happiness is everywhere! Instagram reels screaming about “highest vibrations,” ads promising happiness through protein powder and coffin-shaped lamps, and podcasts titled “How To Finally Be Happy (And Make Millions…).” 💸🛋️💊✨ And honestly, does it really work? Not for many, even those who are financially stable and healthy. 🤷‍♂️ So, the thought arises: what if you’re not supposed to be happy all the time? 🤔 What if that was never the point? 🎯 What if this modern obsession with constant happiness is just another marketing scheme for a life that doesn’t actually exist? 🛍️

Broken GPS 🧭

When Faderhead was 25, the goal was a record deal. ✍️ Got it. Then, it was people at shows. 🚶‍♂️ Got that too. Then, people singing along. 🎤 Check. And guess what? Faderhead was still the same moody, overthinking, slightly-depressed, alcohol-fueled dude with endless half-finished projects and a mix of genius/garbage ideas. 🤷‍♂️🍺📝 Happiness, it turned out, was a moving target – and Faderhead was chasing it with a faulty GPS. 😵‍💫

The Alternative 🕊️

What if peace is better than happiness? 😌 What if “content” is better than “ecstatic”? 😊 What if waking up without dread and sleeping with a calm mind is the real win? 🏆 A few weeks ago, someone much younger asked, “Are you happy?” 🤔 Faderhead’s answer: “No. But I’m at peace with most things. And I’m doing stuff that matters to me.” 🙏 Maybe that quieter space, where work feels meaningful and the mind isn’t at war, is the real destination. 🧘 Getting older helps with this perspective. 👴 At 20, it’s all about “more.” ➕ More stuff, more success, more experiences, more “likes.” 👍 Approaching 50, “less” starts to look like freedom. ➖ Less chaos, less drama, less noise, less bullshit. 🚫 Suddenly, quiet moments, close friends, and doing your own thing without external validation become more appealing. 🤫🤝 And somehow, that feels… good. Solid. Real. A quiet kind of content. 💯

What’s The Goal Then? ➡️

So yeah, maybe you’re not supposed to be happy all the time. 🤔 Maybe you’re supposed to be useful. 🛠️ Maybe you’re supposed to grow through pain instead of avoiding it. 🌱 Maybe life isn’t a 24/7 Disneyland ride, but a well-built road that gets you where you need to go, even if it’s bumpy. 🛣️ And maybe, just maybe, you’re doing better than you think. ❤️ Now stop scrolling for happiness and go do something that actually matters to you. ✨
