Been going through a rough spot and Bloom\u2019s shaking wails that trail off and Connors\u2019 guitar have said everything for me.
At points Connors\u2019 guitar sings its own ballad to the dying, at others it joins Bloom\u2019s.
There\u2019s something about the discordance between the Bloom’s guitar line and Bloom vocals and Connors\u2019 additions that could only be fused together perfectly by a raw grief.
It captures a chasm between one and the world.
Maybe I just contradicted myself, but maybe that\u2019s a small bit of the grief\u2019s confusion.
In some ways you\u2019ve never been closer to the world, in some ways never further.

This River won\u2019t stop its Grinding\u2026Flow…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a live version of it that @art.pop.daily on insta put me on to. Great account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
