The mood changes, the build, the crash, the emotion, the lyrics, the drum beats, the organic sounds! I have listened to this album easily over 100 times - it never gets old. I find something new each time I listen to it both in the production and in myself. So vulnerably open, honest and poetic. Thank you for your hard work, Justin. I am living.

ive been studying the religious/magical tradition of ancient greek goetia recently, which translates to something akin to 'wailing' because the practitioners were funeral mourners and death-midwives by trade, and i really feel like this music is a contemporary part of such a tradition. goetes were said to be able to summon the spirits of the dead with their cries of lamentation, and truly their emotion was their power in such feats.
this music features heavy themes of mourning, and even of restless spirits haunting the narrator who were never given proper burials and lain to rest in peace. their struggles remain unresolved, and for that they cannot move on. by lamenting them, their needs are acknowledged and their bitterness is assuaged until they and we can at last part in peace. perhaps not happily, or even fully forgiven, but healed enough that we may go their separate roads to recover in our own ways
