This is still the greatest album of the past decade and it's not even hyperbole. I haven't connected with an album as much since Boxer/Midnight Organ Fight.
These well thought out and profound statements about the art, that is this record, are so great to read
i missed that tour but i just remembered the time i saw christian acoustic in a basement with like 20 people there tops
Was that like this past September? The Toronto date was super small too (probably closer to 40) but it was so great. The Avril cover brought such an amazing energy to the room.
Still pissed I missed that Christan / Emperor X show in Norway last august. I'm sure there were like 30-40 people there.
Haha, I don't know about life changing, but yeah it probably would have been great. Well, at least I have a couple new YouTube concerts to enjoy now, so thanks for that @Kennedy and @nfdv2 .
to me ive always applied it to myself as a yearning for the past. i remember when Goodness came out that line hitting me like a ton of bricks. i wasnt in the best place in terms of relationships in my life, and i was pretty tied to my past at that point. i didnt want to let the past go. i was pretty confused about how the future was going to work out and what would happen, and really i just wished things were back to the way they had been in the past. i didnt really know what i needed in that moment, because i knew what i wanted was the gone and not coming back. but i knew i couldnt have it and things would never be what they were. so i guess to me it meant being in a mental state of being indecisive in regards to what was my current situation mixed with a yearning for what was.
For me it’s a longing for a very particular moment in your past that no other moment can make you feel like you did then. No matter how hard you try to replicate it.
to me it's like, youre longing to go back to a past time you've already lived through, but since you've already lived through it you obviously can't repeat the past so you don't really know what you want right now
Yeah, basically knowing that wanting to go back to a time and place is impossible, but still being consumed by the desire to a point that you’re no longer driven to/know how to move forward.
