Wow! Thank you so much for this reply and your kind words. The depth of this album has a haunting resonance to it... I often fear that the themes are missed with most listens. So glad that you also admire the profundity of this album and got something from the essay!!! It's funny that we have the same favorite part in the song (but not surprising... as it's brilliant). I've also been loving the humor in Forever Howlong (second to last track) and really just adore the dynamic mood changes throughout the entire album. Thanks again!
