I'm guessing this song was difficult for Tom to entrust to another musician. I know it's deeply personal, and I know as an artist that I would struggle to trust another artist with a rework of something so close to the heart.
I'm glad he could trust Rotersand with it. They did a phenomenal job.

i love when a song is an acquired taste. you can listen to something once and go huh. there's something here even if im not quite ready for it yet. and you listen a couple more times. and then bam a couple weeks or months or years later you listen, youve finally worn the song in and it's the most beautiful thing you've ever heard
#the entirety of the cruel melody album by black light burns#I heard them open for another band once#bought their album#it languished in my library for... 5 years#then one year I put it on when I was feeling shitty and it fucking saved me.#and I love it to this day

Somehow, every year, I forget about 30k ft.
I flip on Storm and I'm having a great time, and then that plucked synth starts,
and every time, without fail, my heart goes through the floor.
#this song is testament that art does not need to be complex or contrived#this song is... raw. and simple#and it hits you in the chest every time#also. for understandable reasons. I have never and will never listen to this song on a plane.#assemblage 23

Confession time: for me, November is the worst month.
It's cold but not cold enough to bundle in winter clothes; we change the clocks and the dark is miserable and oppressive; the trees have lost their leaves but aren't blanketed with snow yet.
November is consistently when I feel the worst.
Last year I had an enlightened thought. You see, I form very strong associations between music and seasons - and some of those associations are even more granular, breaking into "early fall" and "late fall", for example. If I listen to an album "out of season", it feels wrong to me.
My enlightened thought was: what if I purposely buy really great albums in November, and form an association between this month and great music?
It worked. It worked wonderfully.
This whole album is gorgeous, but this song in particular gets into my head and won't leave for days. I love it.
Last November was okay. This one's turning out to not be so bad either.

when a song has a callback to earlier songs on the same album or even songs from a previous album. that’s the good shit right there
#mind.in.a.box !!!#the way the tape Black finds on his doorstep in Dreamweb has the recordings from Lost Alone!#the way the lyrics of Redefined are the lyrics of Machine Run but inverted (“I will feed the machine” vs “I will kill the machine”)!#the way you don't even know the protagonist's name until album 3 when he recovers from his amnesia and DECIDES his name is Black!#I miss mind.in.a.box so much#I stopped listening to them when they changed their style#it's their right to change; it's my right to mourn it

надоело до смерти, честно говоря мне тоскать по осени этот автомат
#time for the annual fall tradition of driving around with this on and screaming along full voice to this part#it's so raw and beautiful#(this is one of their songs that starts slow... give it time. trust me)#ddt#ддт#пропавший без вести

I was just lamenting about how album reviews seem to have gone by the wayside, but on a whim I looked up "[album name] review" and it turns out I just haven't been looking!
#I missed these!#I love reading opinions about my favorite albums!#related: whoever called vnv nation's electric sun “rinse and repeat” is fucking wrong!

#aesthetic perfection#i know. i know this was when daniel was trying to be something he wasn't#i know the music he makes now makes him so much happier and more fulfilled#but man. i still love a violent emotion so much#this video was iconic at the time and it still live in my heart

I truly do not understand how people can sit still listening to music
#I'm over here with headphones JAMMING#my spouse is over there with headphones sitting PERFECTLY STILL#we listen to similar music. it's not like he's listening to something super chill#there's a part of me that assumes that it's something that we willingly suppress in ourselves because all kids move to music#it's literally a developmental milestone#anyway. I won't kill this in myself. I'm gonna jam

If you want to know what fall sounds like, this is it.
#dryft#i connect with most music i listen to via lyrics#it's hard for me to fully love instrumental music#dryft is one of the very few exceptions#this just gets right into my soul like a foggy autumn morning
