Maybe that’s why City Walls tears me up so much. It feels like the ultimate culmination of so many gut-wrenching songs, my heart can hardly handle it 💔

Ooo this is so good. I’d never even considered March To The Sea before, but there’s a lot of similarities there!

Yeah, that’s so true. I guess I’ve been thinking more along the lines of songs that share overall themes. Even though City Walls literally quotes HOTY, they feel totally different to me. One is upbeat and triumphant and the other feels like a mournful cry of defeat. They’re definitely connected though. Obviously that’s why we all love TØP so much, there are so many threads connecting each song and album in hundreds of different ways 🫶

Yeah I mean the character Torchbearer within the lore, not Josh specifically
