Here are the transcriptions of the interludes:
Interlude 2
To argue the existence of anything beyond death is to reject the idea of death itself. Death is not the opening of some eternal door - death does not confer transcendence of any kind. To make such assertions is to act as though we do not know death, as though we do not spend our lives trying to drag forth some semblance of meaning from beneath death’s thick, dark shadow - as though we have not also inflicted it, no less that we sometimes revel in it. It is only the certainty of death that provides us with the darkness against which we all glow, defiantly. Life without death knows no form, no boundary. Without death and our finite nature, it would be stripped of all meaning. Left to wander as little more than mindless and rotating gears in the quiet engine of a cold hell. But we do not die because it gives our lives meaning. We die because this is the way of all things, and in the end, is that not all we are?
Interlude 3
Death is not merely anything that… It is not simply some kind of existential threshold we are all fated to cross. It is far more than these small notions. One does not need to look as far as the end of their own life to be confronted with the unknowable. One does not even need to look that far to be confronted with death. Look around you. About what can you truly be certain. Death is a color. It soaks a part of every canvas. Death is a fabric. It can clothe the living. Death is merely another weapon wielded by a great adversary. Another cadence in this terribly beautiful symphony we listen to helplessly. Let it bring you hope in one hand and fear in the other. It is asking you to dance with both after all.

You know I love your videos, Alex! Thank you for this one. That third interlude made me cry. I couldn’t hear it in person as it was far too loud in the venue. Everything about it and what you said resonates. Duality has been a major theme in my life lately and when it said to dance with both, I really felt it in my soul 🩵🫶🏼

[@alextamulis]

LoveLeigh, I can't thank you enough, thank you so much for always sharing your ideas, insights, feelings... I'm glad to hear you were able to attend a ritual! A great time to heighten and elevate feelings and interactions with the songs - indeed, duality is ever so present and finding ways to have a network of support from loved ones is always a great outlet for us to keep going. All the best to you :)

Losing several people early-ish in my life, including both of my parents, and having my own brushes with death, I definitely can understand how death isn't just an existential threshold that's a personal end-point for all of us. We walk hand in hand with it as early as the moment we're born, because it shapes our lives and changes our perception of the world as we go through our lives. I'm a different person now than I was 10 years ago, mostly due to coming to terms with this very fact. Jean Luc Picard in the movie Star Trek Generations said "Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment, … because they'll never come again." You can replace time with death in this quote and the meaning stays intact and is just as profound. The movie came out in 1994 when I was only 10 but that quote has stuck with me for 30 years.

StrangeQuark84, thank you for sharing, I'm sending you positive thoughts... it is never easy :( - I'm glad to hear you've found outlets to cherish time, process feelings and find ways to cope... again, stay strong and thank you so much for your support, I wish you all the best!
