Since each album has been worse than the debut, probably for the best.
If you want to collaborate I'll probably be famous in 3 or so years time.

Haha. I agree with the comment above.
Don't cry so, you people. It'll work out alright in the end. No one person is the end or the beginning of music, and it's music you should love, rather than some man you'll never truly know to love. Let's not all become like Take That fans and force Michael to set up some sort of support line for us!

Since each album has been worse than the debut no offense meant, but i hope popular opinion doesn't back you up on this one (i know i don't), because i can't think of a less encouraging thing to read right now.

Erm...if it was possible to tell Patrick how much his music means to me, I would. I have quite severe depression, and only 2 people in the world knew that...in the past year, his music has lifted me out of a rut that I thought I wouldn't get out of. I feel like I can do what I want now because...I don't know why. The music makes me hopeful and like I really shouldn't have to shut myself away. I have so much more than that to say but I don't particularly like sharing.

"I fell off the wagon Into your arms Into this long month of sundays"
Now I'm in complete shock, it feels like someone has ripped off my heart. I'm so much in love with this wonderful lovely creative person, that my dear Patrick is. With his lyrics, his music, his voice, with everything. I never involved more into a musician before like I did with Patrick, because he inspired me and though he was complete stranger to me I discovered so many similarities and it was so easy and good to understand the way he feels. OMG it's hard to express those feelings in a foreign langage. So here is what I wrote on Patrick's myspace:
Dearest Patrick please do want you have to do, to feel good.
And if there is a little chance to listen to your future musical ideas it will be perfect for me. I'm so grateful that I came across your music two years ago. I never ever had to go to a concert that urgent like I had to go to Nuremberg two years ago to see you and listen to your songs. And it turned out to be one the best concerts I ever had been to. It was amazing to feel the loveliness of you through your music. Thank you so much for that amazing time. And thank you for your wonderful albums and your singles and vinyls and everything (I never ever needed to have vinyls from an artist before). I'm sending you lots of love and energy. Please don't be distressed, cause you are truely loved.
Oh my sweet boy, how I still want you to be a big star that is known for his wonderful music and lyrics and singing and loved all over the world. <sigh> I can't stand the thought of never hearing anything about you. I have to read you, see you, listen to you. Please. Please. Don't give up. There is a lot of power and instinct inside you that will help you over bad situations. Trust in yourself as you did before, don't give up. Tomorrow is another day. Everything will turn out right for you. Love and kisses.

oh no no no, people are accepting this far too easily. I refuse to do that. However immature that may be. Even if Patrick gives in, I'm not going to stop posting in the forum every day and promoting his music to every person I know, and I bet all of us are going to do the same. Patrick's one of the best things to happen in music in my lifetime, hell, he's one of the best things that has happened in my life. I'm not going to simply sigh and proclaim 'it was good whilst it lasted', only to move on. heck no. Move on? fuck off. I’ll remember this one for the rest of my life, and his music will remain at the top of my collection as a testament to how meaningful what he’s accomplished is. Indeed. No giving up. Ever. Ever ever ever ever. Patrick is my favorite music artist and though I can't predict my future, I think that he always will be. I have never heard such melodies, instrumental music notes and lyrics from the past or present that even compares, so therefore I doubt I'll hear anything the same in the future, except for Lycanthropy, Wind in the Wires, and The Magic Position as I will never let go of those records. I probably sound all cheesy right now but I don't care one bit, because I am speaking the truth. Patrick has taken me on such wonderful journies though my earbuds, then through my eardrums, right through my skull and into my soul. He has inspired me tremendously to be my own hero, be my own savior. Since his music came into my life I feel more confident, more creative, more bold, more spontanious, more alive. Feeling braver than I've ever been! I appreciate and love life, truely - he has made me just so happy, even with a sad song there is some optimism behind it. He has helped me make new friends. He's provided beats for dance parties, wheather they be a one-woman show or a crazy group. I am who I am right now because of him and I can't imagine being any other way, I wouldn't want it any other way. I hope that he knows that all of this is really, truely, incredibly appreciated. Really. I know he must work his ass off. Especially right now, it seems he's been touring forever. He says we have no idea all the hard work he's put into everything, and it's true, we don't, because we are not him. But in turn I don't think he could ever grasp how much of an impact all of his hard work has had on myself, and many others here, I'm sure. He is so so loved and appreciated, and so so special. I pray that he continues with music, I really do, of course I do. But if he makes the decision not to, that is fine. I want him to be happy, I would never for the life of me want a man who's art has had this much affect on me to be miserable. If he doesn't make any more albums I will always have the three that he did make, the three that have shaped me, inspired me, touched me, uplifted me, nearly changed me for the better. If he is merely only giving up touring/public appearances, and is only creating music, then I really do hope to see him live at least once, it would just make my life, knowing what is going on right now. And Patrick, we are sorry if we seemed like we were only interested in you hair or your manerisms or clothes or actions or personal life or whatnot - some of it was innocent fun, some of it was just none of our business or unnecessary and stupid and shallow. But some of the curiousity, like with this situation/your blog or whatever, was even out of concern, because we care about you. Fristly, truely, and most importantly, your music is what we are fans of your for. Your craft and creation is so so so appreciated and loved the most on this forum, I know it is for myself at least. YOU HAVE NOT FAILED IN ANY WAY. My motto is that if one has made a least one person smile, then they have succeeded in life. You have certainly made much more than just one show their teeth with joy, and have done even more that is nearly unexplainable with the music you have made. You are incredible. We love you. many x's and o's, Christina.

And to be honest, I really don't think he would have made that decision based on this thread. Seems like he'd already considered it and this may have just upset him...

the resounding feeling i get from patrick in whatever he's done is that he's alway's on your side. kind of your security against everything else that happens. he's always given me the feeling that no matter what happens, there is still hope. like if i fail all my exams i could be a musician and not care what anyone else said. he's always made me happy i guess. i really hope this isnt the end

the music has transcended the artist at this point.
we all have made it our own, and i guess we feel that it has been stripped away from us, and it is no longer bright and sunny.
and on top of that everyone is fucking sad. patrick's sad, meryl's sad, tommy's sad, victoria's sad, and so on and so forth. that has to mean something and it should.
the music has moved us and it's despairing to have to listen to it and not feel as elated as one should. It all seems bitter sweet.
giant group hug everyone.

In the 4 month long letter we've been writing, i've written this opening phrase so many times and just like the letter i don't think patrick willever see this but: dear patrick I've never smiled more then the times i've seen you live. I remember the first time i saw you headline at the scala. I ahd to go alone. the most recent time was at the astoria and i was surrounded by people i love and who love me. the first time i saw you i was a lot weaker and sadder and lonelier in my life and now my life's fuller, even too full sometimes, this weeked i took a break from all my friends and communication. In fact, i've been planning to put my social life on hold for a few months for a while now so i can understand that you'd want to leave behind touring and interviews. i just hope you come back to it one day. and you havent failed. Now the world's magic. it has been since the first time i had the first line of the first song i knew by you. "a boy like me is told he is both 9 and 90". it fitted me then and it fits me now even though most songs i loved back then i've now outgrown. so you havent failed. and failed could never be the right word to describe what you've done. xx

I feel like a huge part of me just went. So do I. I'm listening to him right now, and I don't feel a thing. I was listening to him this morning and I felt alive! Free! It was just as incredible as it always has been. I need time.

Dear Patrick,
Thank you for what you have given us. You have given me a Disneyland when I have lived in a horrible place. You gave me butterflies when I thought there were only maggots. There were giraffes where only worms had lived. Your music helped to save me from myself - it has helped to give me the strength to stop self harming and control my eating disorder. Your music has given me life again, and the ability to enjoy it.
If you choose this, then we will all respect that and wish you the best luck for the future.
But just... Thank you for what you have given us already.
You gave me one of the best nights of my life, when I went to see you play the Oran Mor in Glasgow, Scotland. If you remember us, I was one of the nine who waited outside your tour bus in the cold and rain for two hours, then bought you ice cream. You saw us: a group of perfect strangers. I had never met a single person there before, but by the end of those two hours, we had become firm friends. I am still in contact with them. Your music did this for us - it brought us together and gave us joy and laughter. We laughed as we spelled out your name with our bodies. We were joyous as we sang and danced in the street together.
You did this for us.
And I will never stop enjoying your music, nor feeling inspired by you, nor sharing it with the world and everyone I meet.
It's you who puts me in the magic position, darling now. You put me in the magic position, darling.
Thank you for allowing me to find my magic position in life.
Love always,
Clare
