    I can sing every word in this album.
    That's how much i love it.
    I was introduced to it when I was in middle school, around the age of 14.
    Update: Three years later, I still know it. :) I'm almost graduating high school, and in a way, this was my childhood. Everytime I hear "season poems", i can't help but tear up.
    Update 2019: I Just started college, everything seems alright. I still listen to this album on the bus, or in the morning.
    Update may 2022: Woah, this really blew up! I'm not sure if I should be happy or embarrassed haha. Anyways, I'm turning 21 in a few days. I got accepted as a transfer student into my two dream schools, UCLA and Berkeley. I fell in love for the first time with a Navy boy who had commitment issues, and I experienced my first real heartbreak. That day, I looped "the bolder thing to do" on repeat. Crazy how songs you love somehow become part of your history?
    Thank you all for staying invested. I hope to further update this thread sometime. Wishing yall the best. And yes -- I still know this entire album by heart. 😎

    0:00 Oats We Sow
    Someday I'll toss all your presents
    And bury the letters left unsent
    'Cause it's bad to do what's easy
    Just 'cause it's easy
    And I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
    The road, she'd roll round the side of the mountain
    With nowhere to go
    But the heart, we know
    When it's lovin', it's leanin' toward bein' alone
    Someday I'll find the mind to mend it
    And make dry these eyes I've gotten wet
    'Cause it's bad to do what's easy just 'cause it's easy
    I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
    The crow, he'd mow half the grass on the knoll
    With nowhere to go
    But the heart, we know
    When it's needin', it's careenin' toward bein' alone
    The oats we sow
    They could seed on forever with nowhere to grow
    But the heart, we know
    When it's askin' its exact twin, it will not be alone
    2:58 August Moon
    August moon made just for you
    A steady ready smile like His
    Until it’s out of sight
    Don’t undo the true chance that chooses you
    Face to face with a new day
    So simple it seems
    You dare to dream impossibly
    Risking in its rarity I'm bound to it now
    Black and blissful tumbling
    Will wake, asleep
    It feeds me
    Fate will rule you, the heart
    It fools you to lose your sanity
    4:45 Doubtful
    It's a step
    It's a step in the right direction
    It's a tough and final decision
    'Cause where will I go when I'm feeling blue?
    Spinning my wheels
    Wasting my time
    Making you feel you've nothing to hide
    So save me and tell me how
    it all got so doubtful
    Leave me nothing now
    Back on the old road
    You're wishing you'll wind me down
    Give me a mouthful
    And leave me nothing now
    So chalk it up to the drone
    Hack it out, wear it down
    Where will you go when you're feeling blue?
    So save me and tell me how
    it all got so doubtful
    Leave me nothing now
    Back on the old road
    You're wishing you'll wind me down
    Give me a mouthful
    And leave me nothing now
    So save me and tell me how
    it all got so doubtful
    Leave me nothing now
    Back on the old road
    You're wishing you'll wind me down
    Give me a mouthful
    And leave me nothing now
    7:10 Grey Weather
    Grey weather, just fool me, just tell me I'm right
    Despite the careless words you say, I'm always keeping faith
    Chart the numbers, see a trend... We are moving in place
    Despite your lack of blowing over, I'm always keeping faith
    And you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    You'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    It's too late
    In the bright light of morning, map the last leg of the trip
    I call on you to catch me as I'm coming over that bridge
    Through the mind-fog of the beach and the cracking concrete
    The broken wings of reverie leave me always having faith
    And you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    You'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    It's too late
    9:29 Voice Like A Bell
    Noisy in my head
    Voice rings like a bell
    And try as I might, I cannot forget
    And try as I might, I cannot love you less
    Say how long you'll stay
    Wrapped up in the hour
    Marking off the day
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Well, I don't know about you
    But for me (but for me)
    It's about (it's about)
    The passing of measures
    But for me (but for me)
    It's about (it's about)
    All of life's little pleasures
    And I feel you're taking away
    The most you can from our lazy days
    Maybe we both
    Maybe we both
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    12:58 Wild West
    When the end comes
    You'll see hydrogen electrolyzed
    Amazing, you're amazed at the cold you see, the fire by your face
    Bitter bloom
    Flightless skies
    The fear the doom it's no surprise
    Realize, there's no sense in losing your mind before your time
    In order not to worry you write the words down
    But it's a fool's game and your game face is shameful
    Rise young sun you're a tireless one
    And you'll be back, burning
    When the morning comes when you catch my soul upon waking
    Will you make a wish
    For the wild west to accept the excess?
    When the end comes you'll see fields of green beyond your reach
    And heartbeats
    Rise young sun, you're a tireless one and you'll be back burning
    When the morning comes
    When you catch my soul upon waking
    Will you make a wish
    For the fool's gain to equal his insane?
    16:30 Stone Wall, Stone Fence
    Big open land,
    You hold the weight of the air in your hands
    Big open air,
    You feel the tickle of the trees on your chest
    Why'd you go and waste it
    The things that you know
    Are making you a stone wall, stone fence
    Your stories so old you just tend to keep them
    Long winding road,
    You've got a secret but you won't share it
    21:58 Ghost
    I woke up with my head on a bee's nest
    And my feet on your jacket
    It was a wild it was a wrong it was a long long night
    And your lips like little stings
    Set me to wondering
    If there's anyway and anytime
    I could have, I would have tried
    You had me back but then you ran
    Like you never ever knew me
    Fall into my arms again
    Like you always wanted to
    You always wanted to
    But you never ever knew
    I woke up with my mind on a reason
    For why it's right to be leavin' you
    Until we're drawn into the swarm
    Of a warm white tide
    25:00 Super Legend
    Too young to be
    Super legend
    And no one knows that years ago
    You'd sing yourself to bed
    I'm a better, better friend
    To win your love
    It's all I'm not
    Two tiers above
    The best I've got
    All I see in you is new, smooth
    And I, I get lost
    In the rottenness of it all
    Come on I'm a crutch in a pinch
    And you're too much
    Get a hold of yourself get over yourself
    Man
    To win your love
    It's all I'm not
    Two tiers above
    The best I've got
    The best I've got
    27:42 Harmless
    So you think you do no harm
    I caught you once when you were young
    So you think I'd benefit
    But a curse is what you make of it
    Oh, I will greet you when
    Someone feeds you sin
    Like my own
    I will need you then
    Without you I have no doubt
    I'd have grown up with an angel's mouth
    Well, here we are, so tightly wound
    Catapult this stone to hit the clouds
    Oh, I will greet you when
    Someone feeds you sin
    Like my own
    I will need you then
    Like an inhalation
    Oh, I will greet you when
    Someone feeds you sin
    Like my own
    30:59 Two-Faced Twin
    You're a mirror with two faces
    Two sides, simple as that
    When I look at my reflection
    Do I see myself?
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you run away
    You're a fish with two fins
    Swimming in opposite directions
    When I go in for a kiss
    Do I kiss him?
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you run away
    Some hearts, some times, leave blind
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you run away
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you run away
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you

    This album (including the cover art) makes me think about the depth of people. One person contains an entirely different reality and perception and interests. Becoming close with this person is like moving to a different country. Should be a happy thought, but it's not to me :(

    • @ismael-xz9pf

      Becoming close with another person would probably be more like having a little snow crystal ball of another world, even though you can t understand them totally, if the person wants to show you who they are you can observe and understand
      You don t have to get lost into people to be close to them,
      In my opinion being close to someone is more about having a relationship that both makes you really happy and were the both of you genuinely care for one another, s you shouldn t be trapped or forced into uncomfortable situations

    "Oats We Sow" 0:00
    Someday I'll toss all your presents
    And bury the letters left unsent
    'Cause it's bad to do what's easy
    Just 'cause it's easy
    And I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
    The road, she'd roll round the side of the mountain
    With nowhere to go
    But the heart, we know
    When it's lovin', it's leanin' toward bein' alone
    Someday I'll find the mind to mend it
    And make dry these eyes I've gotten wet
    'Cause it's bad to do what's easy just 'cause it's easy
    I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
    The crow, he'd mow half the grass on the knoll
    With nowhere to go
    But the heart, we know
    When it's needin', it's careenin' toward bein' alone
    The oats we sow
    They could seed on forever with nowhere to grow
    But the heart, we know
    When it's askin' its exact twin, it will not be alone
    "August Moon" 2:58
    August moon made just for you
    A steady ready smile like His
    Until it’s out of sight
    Don’t undo the true chance that chooses you
    Face to face with a new day
    So simple it seems
    You dare to dream impossibly
    Risking in its rarity I'm bound to it now
    Black and blissful tumbling
    Will wake, asleep
    It feeds me
    Fate will rule you, the heart
    It fools you to lose your sanity
    "Doubtful" 4:45
    It's a step
    It's a step in the right direction
    It's a tough and final decision
    'Cause where will I go when I'm feeling blue?
    Spinning my wheels
    Wasting my time
    Making you feel you've nothing to hide
    So save me and tell me how
    it all got so doubtful
    Leave me nothing now
    Back on the old road
    You're wishing you'll wind me down
    Give me a mouthful
    And leave me nothing now
    So chalk it up to the drone
    Hack it out, wear it down
    Where will you go when you're feeling blue?
    So save me and tell me how
    it all got so doubtful
    Leave me nothing now
    Back on the old road
    You're wishing you'll wind me down

    And leave me nothing now
    "Grey Weather" 7:10
    Grey weather, just fool me, just tell me I'm right
    Despite the careless words you say, I'm always keeping faith
    Chart the numbers, see a trend... We are moving in place
    Despite your lack of blowing over, I'm always keeping faith
    And you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    You'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    It's too late
    In the bright light of morning, map the last leg of the trip
    I call on you to catch me as I'm coming over that bridge
    Through the mind-fog of the beach and the cracking concrete
    The broken wings of reverie leave me always having faith
    And you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    You'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
    It's too late
    It's too late
    "Voice Like A Bell" 9:29
    Noisy in my head
    Voice rings like a bell
    And try as I might, I cannot forget
    And try as I might, I cannot love you less
    Say how long you'll stay
    Wrapped up in the hour
    Marking off the day
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Well, I don't know about you
    But for me (but for me)
    It's about (it's about)
    The passing of measures
    But for me (but for me)
    It's about (it's about)
    All of life's little pleasures
    And I feel you're taking away
    The most you can from our lazy days
    Maybe we both
    Maybe we both
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time
    Maybe we both
    Knew it at the time

    Knew it at the time
    "Wild West" 12:58
    When the end comes
    You'll see hydrogen electrolyzed
    Amazing, you're amazed at the cold you see, the fire by your face
    Bitter bloom
    Flightless skies
    The fear the doom it's no surprise
    Realize, there's no sense in losing your mind before your time
    In order not to worry you write the words down
    But it's a fool's game and your game face is shameful
    Rise young sun you're a tireless one
    And you'll be back, burning
    When the morning comes when you catch my soul upon waking
    Will you make a wish
    For the wild west to accept the excess?
    When the end comes you'll see fields of green beyond your reach
    And heartbeats
    Rise young sun, you're a tireless one and you'll be back burning
    When the morning comes
    When you catch my soul upon waking
    Will you make a wish
    For the fool's gain to equal his insane?
    "Stone Wall, Stone Fence" 16:30
    Big open land,
    You hold the weight of the air in your hands
    Big open air,
    You feel the tickle of the trees on your chest
    Why'd you go and waste it
    The things that you know
    Are making you a stone wall, stone fence
    Your stories so old you just tend to keep them
    Long winding road,
    You've got a secret but you won't share it
    "Ghost" 21:38
    I woke up with my head on a bee's nest
    And my feet on your jacket
    It was a wild it was a wrong, it was a long long night
    And your lips are like little stings
    Set me to wondering
    If there's anyway and anytime

    I had you back but then you ran
    Like you never ever knew me.
    Fall into my arms again
    Like you always wanted to
    You always wanted to
    But you never ever knew
    I woke up with my mind on a reason
    For why it's right to be leavin'
    Until we're drawn into the swarm
    Of a warm white tide
    And your lips are like little stings
    Set me to wondering
    If there's anyway and anytime
    I could have, I would have tried

    Fall into my arms again
    Like you always wanted to
    You always wanted to
    But you never ever knew
    And now you find it's harder to see the future so clearly
    Will it always be?
    Will it always be?

    Oh, I will greet you when

    Well, here we are, so tightly wound
    Catapult this stone to hit the clouds

    Oh, I will greet you when

    "Two Faced Twin" 30:54

    Two sides, simple as that
    When I look at my reflection
    Do I see myself?
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you run away
    You're a fish with two fins
    Swimming in opposite directions
    When I go in for a kiss
    Do I kiss him?
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you run away
    Some hearts, some times, leave blind
    Don't you run away, don't you run away, don't you run away

    i just found this album, and i'm only about four minutes in. i'm not doing really well right now generally. my mental health is deteriorating and i've upset a close friend. i feel terrible about it. my response to that is distancing myself from the people around me, which makes things worse for me because it leaves me alone with my thoughts and right now that isn't a good thing.
    this album sounds lovely, and it's helping take my mind off of things. i can see myself coming back here in the future.
    thank you for reading, or listening.
    edit: been around 12 hours and i'm already listening again
    edit 5/27/2022: For those that care i will update! It's been nearly a year since i found this album and i still love it to death. I'm doing exponentially better mental health-wise and i have learned to let go of a lot of the things that made me want to distance myself from my friends. The friend i was talking about here and i are still very close and i appreciate them so much. I've overall gotten over unhealthy behavior like this (save for rare relapses where i usually just get very emotional, but progress is NEVER linear please remember that) but i'm so thankful that i've come so far in the past eleven months. I've grown so much as a person already and i still have so much more to go.
    If you're reading this, and i don't wanna sound like a huge cheeseball, but things do eventually get better, i promise. Sometimes it takes a while but you WILL get there. I believe in you :)
    Edit 4/10/2023: Recently got a notif from someone replying to this about waiting for an update! Hello!! Life has been incredibly stressful lately as I've been going through a lot of changes. In September I had to get a surgery that left me unable to walk properly for a very long time and I just recently got cleared to do as I please without restriction again, which is great! But it also means that I need to get a new job, start going to the gym, etc. These things are all very scary to me as they are new and my last job was incredibly taxing on me mentally but I know I'll get used to everything in time. I'm also starting the college search process which is TERRIFYING to say the least, but I'm confident that I'll find the right place (and if I don't then I'll cross that bridge when I get to it). My mother likes to tell me that college is more about learning how to become a functioning human and less about the academic side o fit (though academics are still very important despite being overpriced).
    Friendship-wise it's been rough. I'm (obviously) in high school and I haven't really found my people yet. I'm still friends with the person mentioned in this comment previously as well as a lot of other cool people, but I haven't really found MY person/people yet (also I should clarify that the mentioned cool people are internet friends). I know that with more independence and more room to explore (COLLEGE!!!!) I'll be able to form closer bonds with the right people once I find them. It's a sucky waiting game but I've got hope. If you're in a similar situation know that there are people out there that are for you and that you WILL find them, you just might need to put in some work. I promise you that you'll find people that you fit with.
    In the short term, I have an essay due on Friday that I haven't started yet. I'll cram for it, so no worries. Please don't follow my example on that.
    There are so many more things going on in my life that I could talk about but this was just the stuff that came to mind. I'd like to leave you with this: please have hope! Things really do get better. I said last year to remember that progress is not linear and that's true! Just make sure to stick it out, to do things that make you happy even if you don't really have a lot in your life that does make you happy. You will be okay. I promise.
    And if you feel inclined to reply: tell me something that you're looking forward to! Personally I'm very excited for the new Barbie movie. I'm pro-Ryan Gosling Ken.
    Sorry for getting super tangenty, have a nice night!! Happy Easter/Passover/Ramadan Mubarak if you celebrate! If not then happy day anyway!
    Edit 11/25/2023: Hi! Hasn't been a year yet but I'd forgotten about this til someone replied a few weeks ago so I think it's time for an update. Happy late Thanksgiving! I have grown a lot over the past six months and I think it's safe to say that I am out of that horrid depressing phase of my life. I've gotten a lot better at communication and I've even made some friends outside of the internet. I think I know what college I'm going to, but I have to wait to see if I actually get in lol. I actually have really been digging senior year! It's a year of last times and I'm content with that as opposed to being upset... I am very much ready to move on.
    That essay actually ended up getting a 94. It was my best essay grade of that year! Probably because I actually read the book and had an understanding of what I was writing about haha. Now I'm in am english class that comes a lot easier to me (it's less technical) and I've also been keeping up on the content that we're reading soooo that helps. My classes this year are a bit easier than last year even though I'm taking more college level courses which is interesting.
    I hesitate to be super explicit in what I've been doing since... I don't really know! I think I just prefer to live more in the moment for the time being. I like having my experiences for myself. I have a job that I like? That's kind of it. I got hit on at the gas station on Thanksgiving day which was weird and I don't think I'm ever getting gas there again but it's ok. I'll talk about it in therapy probably.
    In the short term... not much I have due. I have to finish my Christmas list so people know what to get me. I made bread today and it's a little overbaked but whatever. It still tastes good. I think I'm gonna write the recipe down.
    That's all! Happy holidays! See you soon!

    @mateusbmedeiros 3 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    It's sad that probably what Meredith dislikes about this album is what I like about it. I tried listening to a lot of other songs by her of all of her other albums, but they all sound kinda like the same indie folksy guitar and voice songs that a lot of other artists out there are making since ages ago.
    While this album, probably because of Adam Pierce, but I can't be sure, sounds like some kind of progressive indie folksy rock or something, unlike anything I've ever heard before, with the layers of highly reverberated guitars in the background and the awesome drums that to me feel spot-on on most of the songs, together with the soft guitars and nice vocal melodies. I specially adore Oats we sow.
    It's good, though, that Gregory and the Hawk moved on from this to the more naked songs, since it's what makes Meredith happy. As a musician myself, I strongly believe that one's own artistic appreciation for one's work comes before any appreciation and/or recognition from other people. It's what separates, IMO, the current mindless pop landscape from other kinds of music. Of course putting food on the table is also important, and that's the balance all musicians try to find, but it's still most important to me, before all, that you are happy with your own art.

    Wish I could go back to the time when the comments were made 4 years ago. So I could be 15 again and not have to deal with what I have to now mentally and physically. It’s there more to life then trying to be consistent and failing over and over. Maybe I should just settle with what I have now and repeat it over and over till it’s over. I don’t really have the guts to die, something like that. I just don’t wanna come off stupid and edgy by saying that I just really struggle with things these days. Feeling like a loser and it’s like I’m going through the same situations over and over. Used to think I was good at taking to people but how I realize how other people talk around me makes me feel like I suck. Or maybe they struggle with the same awkward situations I do but it doesn’t feel like that most of the time. Also I’m pretty sure chicks that try to send signals that they like me go right over my head, too scared to ask them if they like me because I don’t wanna lose them as a friend. I can’t see myself working at my job for another year 2019 was probably one of the hardest years for me mentally I hope this upcoming year I can change things around for the better and I hope I don’t do something horrible with my life. Short random rambles of thoughts going through my head at 3 something am while listening to a random-recommended video full of comments from years ago, hopefully someone can look at this comment years from now and find comfort in someone their age asking the same questions they do. Is there a point to where it snaps in your head and you don’t deal with this stuff anymore. Is the most dangerous thing you can do in life to not take risks?

      weirdly enought ive been feeling like this since i turned 15. but i've been through the worst of it before. take risks, but make sure that you feel that passion. don't do stupid things - but do things that will make you feel like you're living the way you want to. life is honestly a banal slog nowadays and i really just dont know anything at all. the same slog goes on but it's gonna be ok. hopefully i'll emerge a passionate and true person who understands the beauty of life and who never looks back except at the end of his life, to reminisce the entire journey, in all tragedy in joy, with a final viewpoint of beauty. then leaving knowing i made my change and experienced all the beauty that i could find in this world. you have a good life, man. it'll be ok eventually, please take risks. but make sure you know why you're doing them so you can smile with reason at the end of the challenge.
      i know you'll do fine. just hold on and get closer to yourself for now. :)

      I am healing through that too. But today, I told myself let's stop telling ourselves we are depressed, have ptsd, have anxiety, and other shit. Don't get me wrong, I do see why the labels are there and it's not like I don't think it's real, but I also don't want these labels. I don't want to use them because they make me feel stuck when I'm not and nobody else is either. You can feel stuck, but you're not. The mind is overpowering sometimes but it's not always and it doesn't have that much power over you. Just breathe and love yourself ❤

    Last year I was studying at a different city, I hated the house I was staying in and was trapped between the liberty of being at a different place than my parents but the limits of not even owning keys to the place I stayed at. It was harsh, I cried more than I had in years and I travelled for 4 hours each week to be away of that house and relieve my homesickness a bit; but I loved school, even if the work load was huge, I felt so productive.
    This album, Tatsuro Yamashita and my new obscesion with Beck were my closest friends back then. I miss my old classes and the friends I made there; sometimes I wish it could have been different.

Everyone was wearing knit caps and scarves and ugly black glasses, and every girl had a Polaroid camera. Welcome to the indie boom.

      I honestly do not believe that there is fundamental reason to live but you die anyway and can experience life ever so briefly so I am just trying to make most of what little time I have.
      Luckily, I do have some talent (not much though) and was given good parents. So I can and will play my part and die and my death will be almost completely meaningless but that is okay. I am fine with that. I am not special and do not need to be.

So, the thing is I get you. I've experienced exactly what you described for a couple of years, with short periods of time when I somehow felt better. I need you to know that what you feel matters, and now your life matters to me. I don't know you, but I appreciate you for not giving up. I think you're insightful and I hope that, sometime, you'll be better. What got me through the days when I felt that my life had no purpose was mainly music, but reading and drawing did help me, too. I hope you'll find something to give you at least short periods of time when you feel better. I wish you'll get to keep some hope for your existence, even if it's really deep in your mind. I am a realistic, even pessimistic person; I still think that my actions won't make that much of a change for anyone, let alone a good one, but I'm resisting. I hope you'll feel even better than I am.

    i stumbled onto this last night, it rang a bell all night and through today. i looked through all of my old mp3 players to figure it out. after nearly 6 hours and 5 mp3 players i was about to give up. my last mp3 booted up and august moon was 45 seconds in, i finally answered the question.
    i found this album around 2015/2016, most likely through agnes obel by the sound. i was going through an odd point in life, one that i dropped and spun around from just as soon as it arrived. nonetheless i didnt think id make it passed it. it was so different to me that it felt like an impassable checkpoint.
    i wasnt able to place my feelings for it then, i still cant now. the closest i get is that i feel like an alien carefully making home in the forests far away from my blood family, having chosen one more suited to me. not from this place, but one with it anyways.

    hello, fellow person scrolling through the recent comments after discovering this absolute beauty of an album, taking in the enormity of music and feeling like you've no one to share this immense joy with. I'm here to tell you that I, too, am wading in this vast sea. and I'm here to remind you that you are not alone. not just in enjoying this wonderful music, but in life too. people love you, you know. I love you. and deep down you can find the capacity within to love yourself too. never forget that. never forget your importance and how much more you bring to this earth. you matter. and you're lovely. and I know that because you have good music taste. and if my random ramblings didn't stick with you enough, I shall offer one of my favorite quotes I found as of late: "Let life fill you with hurt, with happiness; let it weather you, let it teach you. Let it inspire you, let it break you down and build you up. You are here to risk your heart, Please don’t ever forget that. Please don’t ever forget that love is always the answer."
    - Bianca Sparacino
    it was nice to meet you, stranger in the comments. we probably won't ever meet again, but it was pleasant all the same.

      thank you, i was feeling just like that, kind of lonely, like i've no one to share this immense joy with, and this comment helped even if just a little. This loneliness has followed me my whole life, although i have come alot closer to loving myself in the last couple years that lonely feeling still persists, even if i love myself fully i will still need other people, everyone does after all. I just hope that it'll subside some day, that some day i'll figure out why i just can't seem to connect with people, that'll i'll finally be able to not feel so alone. I have hope, it has certainly gotten a lot easier and better for me, mentally and emotionally, especially after leaving high school, but still, im young and scared of what the future holds, i dont want to let my youth slip through my fingers... i want to share my life with someone and dont know if they want the same thing... Carpe Diem is easy to say, harder to do... But still i have hope, and i'll keep making the effort.
      It was nice meeting you too stranger, have a good one.

    ~
    "Oats We Sow"
    Someday I'll toss all your presents
    And bury the letters left unsent
    'Cause it's bad to do what's easy
    Just 'cause it's easy
    And I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
    The road, she'd roll round the side of the mountain
    With nowhere to go
    But the heart, we know
    When it's lovin', it's leanin' toward bein' alone
    Someday I'll find the mind to mend it
    And make dry these eyes I've gotten wet
    'Cause it's bad to do what's easy just 'cause it's easy
    I wanna do what pleases me but I can't
    The crow, he'd mow half the grass on the knoll
    With nowhere to go
    But the heart, we know
    When it's needin', it's careenin' toward bein' alone
    The oats we sow
    They could seed on forever with nowhere to grow
    But the heart, we know
    When it's askin' its exact twin, it will not be alone

      "August Moon"
      August moon made just for you
      A steady ready smile like His
      Until it’s out of sight
      Don’t undo the true chance that chooses you
      Face to face with a new day
      So simple it seems
      You dare to dream impossibly
      Risky in its rarity I'm bound to it now
      Black and blissful tumbling
      Awake, asleep
      It feeds me
      Fate will rule you, the heart
      It fools you to lose your sanity

      Doubtful"
      It's a step
      It's a step in the right direction
      It's a tough and final decision
      'Cause where will I go when I'm feeling blue?
      Spinning my wheels
      Wasting my time
      Making you feel you've nothing to hide
      So save me and tell me how
      it all got so doubtful
      Leave me nothing now
      Back on the old road
      You're wishing you'll wind me down
      Give me a mouthful
      And leave me nothing now
      So chalk it up to the drone
      Hack it out, wear it down
      Where will you go when you're feeling blue?
      So save me and tell me how
      it all got so doubtful
      Leave me nothing now
      Back on the old road
      You're wishing you'll wind me down
      Give me a mouthful
      And leave me nothing now
      So save me and tell me how
      it all got so doubtful
      Leave me nothing now
      Back on the old road
      You're wishing you'll wind me down
      Give me a mouthful

      Grey Weather"
      Grey weather, just fool me, just tell me I'm right
      Despite the careless words you say, I'm always keeping faith
      Chart the numbers, see a trend... We are moving in place
      Despite your lack of blowing over, I'm always keeping faith
      And you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
      It's too late
      You'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
      It's too late
      It's too late
      In the bright light of morning, map the last leg of the trip
      I call on you to catch me as I'm coming over that bridge
      Through the mind-fog of the beach and the cracking concrete
      The broken wings of reverie leave me always having faith
      And you'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
      It's too late
      You'd say, this is not the time for goodbyes
      It's too late

      Voice Like A Bell"
      Noisy in my head
      Voice rings like a bell
      And try as I might, I cannot forget
      And try as I might, I cannot love you less
      Say how long you'll stay
      Wrapped up in the hour
      Marking off the day
      Maybe we both
      Knew it at the time
      Maybe we both
      Knew it at the time
      Well, I don't know about you
      But for me (but for me)
      It's about (it's about)
      The passing of measures
      But for me (but for me)
      It's about (it's about)
      All of life's little pleasures
      And I feel you're taking away
      The most you can from our lazy days
      Maybe we both
      Maybe we both
      Maybe we both
      Knew it at the time
      Maybe we both

      Wild West"
      When the end comes
      You'll see hydrogen electrolyzed
      Amazing, you're amazed at the cold you see, the fire by your face
      Bitter bloom
      Flightless skies
      The fear the doom it's no surprise
      Realize, there's no sense in losing your mind before your time
      In order not to worry you write the words down
      But it's a fool's game and your game face is shameful
      Rise young sun you're a tireless one
      And you'll be back, burning
      When the morning comes when you catch my soul upon waking
      Will you make a wish
      For the wild west to accept the excess?
      When the end comes you'll see fields of green beyond your reach
      And heartbeats
      Rise young sun, you're a tireless one and you'll be back burning
      When the morning comes
      When you catch my soul upon waking
      Will you make a wish
      For the fool's gain to equal his insane?

    I want to come back here again... Till next time in another day.
    [03/10/21]
    It's 10pm here from the Philippines to where I'm listening rn. How long has it been since I was here? I'm now in Senior High School and just getting by in life at my own pace, I'm sitting here in the kitchen becuz we live in our grandparent's house and we only have 4 rooms all connected in one (Living room and Kitchen at the same room, one Bedroom with a closet and a bathroom connected) to which I'm sitting all alone at the dinner table with my sketch pad open racking my head for ideas and motivation to draw the ideas I've been saving up and waiting for a recreation irl. Listening to this kinds of songs in their album is great experience I could have to calm my over-imaginative head, or in general, music and songs have always been my favourite thing to do when I'm drawing traditionally. I'm now currently trying to figure out how to piece all the parts, chapters, twist and ideas now that the foundation has been laid, so I can carefully fit and connect them to complete the whole picture I've been trying to write this past 3 years since I'm no expert writer myself, I've been writing and visualising at a slow pace to keep the story consistent and not fast or unnecessary time consumingly slow scenes, so it's pretty much taking this long-term project so long. While I'm either rewriting, reworking, and piecing all these together, I'm also recreating (from my head) the characters I've been thinking and designing how I should put them, this may also take a long time for me to complete the process along with the writing of the story I've been working on, who knows? Maybe I'll die before this could get recognize around the internet, so I'm hoping to get this ambitious project soon. After I'm done with my school life and college.
    Anyways, that's all I have to write for these comment. How 'bout you? How's your day been going? Idk how you're doing, nor who you are, all I could say is that I hope you have a nice day :)

It reaches deep into your soul and lingers there until it feels like you've been listening to them your entire life. It's rare that it happens, but when it does, it's a gift to be treasured. I really hope they have more available than this...

    this was one of the first albums i listened to in full. it was april 2020, and i was just starting to listen to music more often outside of what played on the radio for the entirety of my childhood (107.1 the peak u a real one tho)
    i remember i found this probably 11, 12, 1am. i always liked finding music on youtube because the cover art and comments were always fun to read, so i clicked it. i usually draw or do something else to occupy my brain while listening to music, but with this song i just laid down and truly listened for one of the first times in my life. when the album was over, i looked at the time, and an hour (looped without me noticing) had passed in what felt like 20 minutes. thank you gregory and the hawk

      Koffee Kat Remember the human condition is like a symphony of music, there are light and sweet notes to be relished for their beauty, and low and difficult notes to be treated as wisdom to learn from.

    It's 4 am and for the first time in a long time I feel a sense of calm; there are no worries, fears or regrets, there is just this music and the moment I am living in right now. Thank you. It is beautiful.
