Are you ready, boy?

The documentary was not only moving, but above all, profoundly truthful. It is rare, almost unheard of, for an artist to strip themselves back so openly, with such honesty and vulnerability, especially under the unflinching lens of a camera. This wasn’t a polished highlight reel or a carefully constructed myth. Instead, it was raw humanity, an invitation to see beyond the performance into the cost, the fragility, and the beauty of what it means to live and create so intensely.

Paul Dugdale proved to be the perfect director for this story. His touch was invisible yet essential: he brought us into the room, made us feel as if we were part of the process itself. At times it was almost unnerving, that closeness… the sense that our perspective mattered, that we weren’t passive observers but, somehow, part of the band. It’s difficult to describe, but it felt deeply intimate, almost sacred.

The musical performances threaded throughout were luminous, a reminder of the power of these songs when set free. And yet the silence that followed each one was startling. For anyone who has been to a Yungblud show, the contrast was jarring: we are so used to eruptions of sound, to voices echoing back lyrics like scripture. Here, there was nothing but quiet, which felt both haunting and reverent.

I don’t wish to spoil too much, but one of the most difficult moments came around The Greatest Parade. Watching it unfold was painful, like witnessing a wound you instinctively want to heal. More than anything, I wanted to reach through the screen and give Dom a hug. Still, there was comfort in seeing the safety net around him, the warmth of a team that genuinely loves and protects him.

It was also a joy to spend more time with Adam Warrington and Ben Jackson, and to see just how integral they are, not only to the music, but to Dom’s life as a whole. Their presence is grounding, a quiet testament to loyalty and friendship. Yet perhaps the most poignant relationship explored was with Mati Schwartz. There is no mistaking Mati’s love for Dom. It runs deep, unwavering but it was fascinating to watch their dynamic shift in moments of tension. Their honesty with each other was its own kind of tenderness. The conversation between them toward the end, around Supermoon and what it truly meant, was devastating in its candor. We came perilously close to losing Dom, and to hear that truth spoken aloud was shattering, yet necessary.

I love how Paul brought the truth forward above anything else, and how Dom keeps the promise of always telling the truth (the ceiling wouldn’t allow anything else…).

As a fan, I have to borrow some of Dom’s own words and say that I feel blessed to be in his orbit in some small and perhaps insignificant way. And I can promise to fall in love with him over and over again each time he changes. That is my truth.

Thank you Paul for this wonderful, one of a kind and monumental documentary. Thank you for letting us being a part of Dom’s life.

Thank you Adam and Ben for the amazing work that you do every day. And the love and care you have for one another. It is always a joy to see you at gigs and say hello.

Thank you Mati for loving Dom unconditionally, we owe a lot to you.

And finally, thank you Dom for being who you are, honest to the core, truthful in all you do and I cannot wait to watch you soar to even greater hights and I promise to always love you no matter how many times you change! Always proud to be part of The Greatest Parade, for as long as you’ll have me.
