Skye Dailor Remembrance Day

Tuesday, September 1st will mark the 25 years since Skye Dailor left this earth. In observance of Skye Dailor Remembrance Day, I ask that fans do one of the following:

Wear something yellow

Play "Crack the Skye" in its entirety

Send prayers to the Dailor family if you're religious

If you want, you can also submit stories of how Mastodon's music has helped you through depression and suicide over the years. Keep in mind that Brann DOES read this site, so be mindful of what you write before you submit your post. We as a Mastodon fan community can use this day as a way to come together and bond. Hope to see you there.

The Skye Dailor Remembrance Day Project - September 1st

Every year here at Fuck Yeah Mastodon, we observe Skye Dailor Remembrance Day, where fans share how Mastodon’s music has saved them from depression and suicide. September 1st, 1990 was the day that Brann’s sister Skye took her own life after suffering from years of abuse, sickness, and bullying.

This was an event that devastated Brann, and the scars left behind from Skye’s death still haven’t fully healed. This is why we at FYM give Mastodon fans a chance to show Brann that he isn’t alone - just as Brann used Mastodon’s music to cope with Skye’s loss, us fans have used Mastodon’s music to cope with our own losses, struggles, and hardships. There are a number of ways that we can remember Skye and show support for Brann on September 1st, but here are some ideas that FYM supports the most:

WAYS TO REMEMBER SKYE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST:

Wear Something Yellow. Yellow was Skye’s favorite color (this is why Brann frequently wears yellow shirts), so an article of clothing or accessories in yellow will work.

Play the song “Crack the Skye” or the album Crack the Skye in its entirety.

For those of you who want to dig a little deeper, write a letter to Brann explaining how Mastodon’s music has helped you in your own “daily storm”, and don’t be afraid to get personal. A few good-sized paragraphs will do. Once you have written this letter, submit them to the site HERE, or post the letter to your own personal blog and tag it as “Skye Dailor”. All letters will be approved or reblogged on September 1st.

If you are religious, offer prayers for the Dailor family.

***SPECIAL NOTICE: Brann and his wife Susanne read the content on this site, so PLEASE think about what’s going into your letter before you write and submit it.

Want more information on Skye? Here are two articles that should help out:

Please re-blog this post so it will reach as many fans as possible! I’m hoping for a large turnout :)

September 1st, the Skye Dailor Remembrance Day, is near, there's no need for additional info since all you Mastodon fans know what it's all about. This is a day in which you are encouraged to share personal stories of how Mastodon's music has helped you thru your life, also to have ourselves a tiny Mastodonian ritual, so join us by doing one of the following on that day and in case you're up to it post about it on your Tumblr:

1. Wear something yellow. (Yellow was Skye's favorite color and she loved yellow roses.)

2. Listen to "Crack The Skye" in its entirety.

3. Submit a letter and tell us how Mastodon's music has had a positive impact on your life.
