Went ahead and listened to some Blind Faith today. The instrumentation is fantastic and I never had a doubt it would be. The vocals, however, aren't really quite up to snuff and they make it hard to listen to.

This is the most devastating album you'll ever listen to. It details the death of the artist's (Phil Elverum) wife just a little while after they had their daughter and his struggle with it. It was recorded in the room that she passed away in. Someone in the comments of a video said it's like listening to someone going through immense grief in real time, and I have to agree. That's because it is.

Although it is fictional, I draw a lot of comparisons to the album "We Don't Have Each Other" by Aaron West. It is a concept album about a divorce after the death of an unborn child.

I don't know if anyone feels the same way, but I've always felt a certain catharsis to listening to someone deal with what they are struggling with through music. It's why I love Blue October so much. Maybe it's because I'm a musician and I empathize with that feeling. Writing and performing songs about things that deeply affect you does help you deal with them and I think it can go a long way to help others too, in ways you never even intended.

it's shit like this that makes me think that 9/11 was a canon event that took place in every single timeline.

putting these songs on at the sock hop retro night and waiting until people notice

i think the vast majority of queer people were kids that didn't fit in with anyone else so they went to the people who want other people to be like them and just sort of lost themselves along the way
