I can totally relate, your thoughts and the lyrics. Feels like there's a lot to worry about and little I can control. Another great job turning thoughts of the week into a full blown track!

Such a catchy chorus that had me swaying along.  Love the lil organ breakdown around 4min.  Well done!

The universe does not owe us anything.

That was a beautiful track full of nostalgia and magic. Maybe paradise lost, innocence lost.

This might be your tightest arrangements this year? Certainly up there for me. Constant push-pull of hope and disappointment, from the rise-fall of the organ in the intro to the wistful jangle guitar bridge. Vocals are soft and warm, especially in the low notes. But my favorite is the outro, starting with cold synth lines and building to...well, if not zillions, a least a great big proggy choir of voices. Glad to have pockets like this, cause the world has been feeling as bad as you describe lately.

love the contrapuntal movement of all the voices, nice work!
your music is the constant that can shine through whatever changes you're not feeling 'with',
just keep your head up and your heart open, your musical light can push through all the clouds

"...in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer" -Sam (to Frodo)

I guess it doesn't help the direction things are going, or at least shown, is not very good for the world at large
Unless you're talking about memes, in which case, I'm sure you'll be alright, the whole connected at all times thing is helping with that very well

gosh this is so nice. I've been feeling so similar, it's nice to hear someone else grapple with similar feelings

I really enjoyed this one. REM vibes.
Everything is on fire.

Thanks!  It's not the funnest thing to think about, but I suppose it is good fuel for songwriting. 

Thanks!  It felt like it needed something to break it up and that seemed to fit well to me.

It owes us nothing and eventually it will take everything from us.  But we've got to make the best of our time here.  Thanks for listening!

Ultimately we're all alone, but at least there are others who are alone alongside us.

Thanks!  The push-pull of hope and disappointment is definitely something I often feel in life.  I often feel let down, but I try not to let positivity get ground out entirely, even if it's difficult sometimes.

Thanks!  No matter what happens to the world, there's always music to turn to, and it does help a little at least.

Thanks for listening and being a source of light!

For every bad development I've seen with the passing of time, there are also good things that have come along that I can't imagine not having.  Including memes.

It's probably common to getting older, but things really seem off the rails these days.  I'm glad I was a kid when I was and not now.

Thanks!  R.E.M. was my first favorite band in high school so they're pretty deeply ingrained in me.

I relate. With time, the idea of controlling the narrative seems to fade. Your have great lyrics. Some introspection, thought provoking. We find one another and together we're better. Like the instrumental break and outro, very nice!

Thanks!  We're all passengers on this ride I think, not the pilots we often imagine we are.
