During a recent concert stopover in Toronto, Lewis Capaldi said he can’t believe how far his lifelong dream has taken him. The lad is having a hell of a time. Or he should be. “Sometimes I feel I’ve bitten off more than I can chew.”
That journey started in his hometown, Whitburn, Scotland, a place the musician describes in his Netflix documentary “How I’m Feeling Now” as a “small town, lots of pubs.” Music was an early love. As kids, Capaldi and his brother, Warren, played guitar together; when Capaldi was a teen, his dad drove him to gigs in nearby Glasgow.
A quick recounting of just how far: in 2019, his debut album “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent” sold 10 million copies worldwide. The following year, “Any sort of extreme emotion brings it on: stress, happiness or anxiety,” said Capaldi. “With the job I’ve chosen you either seem to be stressed or worried, no in between. I feel those extreme emotions regularly. If I stopped doing music tomorrow, I think most of my anxieties, worries or stresses might feel 10 times better, but not doing something I love .”
“I saw something I didn’t expect; I never realized how much of my life was commanded by stress and anxiety. The last couple years weren’t all doom and gloom, but struggle.”Since filming the documentary, Capaldi is getting healthier, he said, with regular exercise and a new-found commitment to meditation . He’s grateful for the “unrelenting” support of his fans. He’s taking things day by day.
