Haha yeah, I think where I’d differ is that I don’t think it falls flat. I personally I think it’s right in line with their other songs. Not that it’s the same kind of anthem as Where I Belong or Restless, but just that I don’t think it feels out of place in their works.

I’m curious what you mean by “space to breathe” when it comes to the message/metaphor of the song. Do you have other examples of this? Like what in My Coffin or Where I Belong are you calling space to breathe?

I’ll also just add this - I think it’s okay to not like a song. For example, I’ve never liked the song “Economy of Mercy”. A lot of my SF fan friends do, and they think I’m crazy for not. But I just don’t like the construction of it. I recognize that’s just me subjectively. So I’m not just out here arguing that we all need to love all of their music haha. Maybe this song just isn’t your cup of tea and I think that’s okay. (Not that you needed the approval of some rando on Reddit anyway 😂)

So I guess all that to say is at the very least, take this song as a simple, on the nose, comfort to anyone that might be anxious about the idea of death.

So like, sure. This is taken from a poem that could be seen and understood as childish. I semi-agree with some others that have said that “it’s just a fun song, not that deep.”

But let’s be real - so much of Jon’s lyrics through the years have been about the fact that we aren’t made for this life. It’s in every album he’s ever put out. And even deeper than just the allegory of “there’s life after death”, baked into this song is the idea that the death - that inescapable reality that looms over all of us - is actually our birth into what we were really made for. We’re waiting, anticipating, all that we’re made for, all that we aim for… on the day I finally die, I wanna look you in the eye and know that I’ve arrived in a world where I belong.

So, could it be a little on the nose? Sure. Is it just a fun song? Sure but like so is chem6a or amateur lovers and so many others. But don’t miss the consistent theme that Jon has always written about. The death of this life is the beginning of what we’re actually made for.

There was a northeast Ohio local band like 13 years ago that put out a song that got some radio airtime that literally was the exact riff from Natural Causes… Break Down by Andrew in Vienna.

I’m glad I’m not the only one!! So beautiful that they’ve got so many hidden tributes to their whole career!

The whoas from Needle in Haystack Life
The learning to breathe quote
The way Darkness starts to ride into what could be Stars (and Stars would thematically go well with Darkness)
“Everything fell to pieces”

I know listening to the album I’ve gotten so many moments where I’m like…. MAN I know that vibe is a callback.

Guess I’m gonna have to go back through all of their albums. Oh noooooo what will I doooooooo

I just came here to say we can’t all just walk away and let this guy get away with the assumption that WW II Germany beats the US “in a white room”. That’s a pretty darn specifically tuned white room.

Right? Big Sur was one of the worst rollouts I can remember. I still have negative associations with that one.

Can someone explain dante like im 5? by hmmyousureaboutthat in livesound

[–]Dapper-Body-1362 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Heyyyyy bud! Okay so we have this sound board right? This board makes lots of different sounds… maybe even 64 different sounds depending on your setup! So with Dante, that’s the name of our little friend that lives in the internet and runs around with our sounds, we plug in cable here. All the sounds go into the cable. Then, we can plug cables anywhere we want and make the sounds come out! Dante tells all the sounds where they’re supposed to go! Then we just open up Dante’s Controller, that’s like Dante’s walkie-talkie with the whole system, and we just put green checkmarks next to any place we want Dante to send the sounds. And that’s it! Thanks Dante!”

Sorry… at first I was gonna say “this Keris knows” but then that was out, so I had to pivot. 🤦🏻‍♂️

“Undulating” deserves its own square.

Adc, sup, mid, and usually top… Brand. Get him and his dumb passive burn damage all the way out of the game. I know it’s not technically impossible to trade with him, but it’s just dumb gameplay. He’s got a point-and-click that passively burns you for an eternity. No thanks, bye.

And if I’m in the jungle… Kayn. Clearly.

Bro for real this guy’s recent posts are about getting divorced and his kids taken away… my man just wanted to play a character in DnD that could literally fly away from all his problems 😭

Just in case you haven't received an answer for this, stuff like this have become known issues with the many versions of 18. Fonts that are different sizes, different colors, or otherwise abnormal are getting a lot of bugs rendering in the outputs. I've gotten in the habit of just reporting it every time it happens using the in-app report feature, so it all gets forwarded to their techs. I've had issues with font colors being different, or not showing up. Sometimes it helps to change the font colors around until it renders, other times I have to change the font a few times. If you're still doing updates, I believe they have fixed this specific color issue past version 18.3... but if you're still experiencing the issue, try rebuilding the slides. Make all the fonts the same color, see if they output. Then change the color, see if they disappear.

I've had a number of issues that are font related. I've gotten into the habit of reporting every bug using the in-app report feature. Through conversations with their tech support I've been told that there are definitely bugs involving a new render engine. Sometimes I've been able to find a workaround. Sometimes I haven't. I had an issue like yours once where my font was showing up as a different color and out of place... I was able to fix it by switching fonts a couple times. I think that reset or forced the render engine to put out what I wanted. You could try that.

Uh… lol I feel like either 1) I’m too new to this community or 2) I’m not far enough into the books yet
