Travis Meeks is another musician on the Autism Spectrum. The lead singer, guitarist and song writer for acoustic rock band ‘Days of the New’ has Asperger’s Syndrome…
…“But here is something people didn’t know about me. I am autistic. Hence my focus on things magical, like the tree, colors, spirituality and consciousness.”
…Meeks is excited about his new philosophy and approach to making music.
First of all, I am doing a better job of letting people know about me. See, my band mates and others were unaware of my autism. So they saw me as standoffish," said Meeks. “Also I get into situations that result in terrible panic attacks. That results in me going into rage and anger moments.”
…That is how I am writing today; it is my autism that has taken me to this stage of songwriting…
Here is the music video for ‘Touch, Peel and Stand’, which remains arguably the band’s most popular and well known song: Days Of The New - Touch, Peel And Stand - YouTube
