you are correct and sadly the number has nothing to do with the record. An automated voice said “thanks for calling MCI” and I hung up after that because idk what mci is and don’t care to find out
I think it's because 444 is an "angel number" (I don't really know what that is by my sister said that lol)
It’s funny how I love this album but for some reason it got me listening to my dear melancholy a bunch more
the transition from best friends to is there someone else becoming a staple on TikTok is my fave because it’s so good
While listening today I seriously considered if I wanted to get some of the lyrics from Jim’s “speech” at the end as a tattoo. Whether the lyrics themselves or a visual representation of part of the lyrics. I’ll have to seriously consider it but I know picking one or two lines is gonna be tough.
This also has been one of those albums where my favorite song changes with each listen. What’s humorous is because I listen while I run I have no idea what the titles are so one of these days I’m gonna have to listen at home so I can track what songs people are talking about in this thread lol
For me, the emotional crux of the song is “Consider the flowers. They don’t try to look right. They just open their petals and turn to the light.” For some reason that breaks me open every time.
I really wonder who wrote that outro. If it was Abel or Jim or both it's extremely impressive, it's a legit amazing poem
has anyone listened to the early leaked pre-trilogy demos that were collected together as "The Noise"? They aren't great, which isn't shocking, but it's definitely an interesting listen. I'll probably never listen a second time, but hearing a young Abel before he really figured out his style is kinda cool
Been listening to this almost every day since it came out, just incredible. Some thoughts: Out of Time 100% sounds like a Off The Wall/Thriller era Michael Jackson song, the production perfectly mimics Quincy Jones. I Heard You’re Married is the weakest song on the album. Also, Every Angel Is Terrifying is cool but it’s def a weird addition to the album. The overall production on this album is incredible, every thing sounds so big and rich with laser precision. No matter what I listen to it on, I’m never disappointed.
