“Its a steampunk song that tells a Frankenstein/Jekyll & Hyde esque story about a young woman being resurrected!”

“Folk! A common fan interpretation of this song is that the “daughter” in the lyrics is trans masc and ran away from home to be with other queer people :3 the *intentional* meaning was a retelling of a “Fox bride” story where a woman is stolen away by a fox to be his bride”

“The artist may not be obscure in an of himself - that is indeed Brent Spiner of Star Trek's Data! - but how many of you knew he could sing?”

“I feel like I'm missing something - this was a Night Vale weather song! But spotify says it has less than 10K listens, and that is a crime.”

“Spotify doesn't show total song listens until they hit 1K - so it's less than that, but I don't know specifics!“

“As someone whose ADHD ruined her college experience - this song breaks my heart a little bit. Love it a lot. Not actually sure how many listens it has - spotify doesn't say until it hits 1,000. But the artist only has 3 monthly listeners, so it's gotta be pretty dang low.”

"""hauntingly beautiful"" seems like a cliche way to describe a song but i truly don't have any other way to describe it. This is part of what JOBIE said about the song in an interview: ""It’s about these alien bugs that take over the main character’s mind and I wrote the song from the bug’s perspective. It’s kind of a spooky, weird concept. It’s a weird song that’s not like my other stuff, but I’m really proud of the way it sounds. On top of the source material, it’s a double entendre. The song is about being real and being yourself and loving the fact that you’re alive and we’re on this Earth where we have the opportunity to be human and do so many things."" that last part is what really hits me about this song because she is right, it does feel good to be real, to be here. (also the rest of her interview about the song can be found here and is very interesting to read if you like song lore: https://vibingonvinyl.com/jobie-takes-on-a-new-life-form-in-earworm-lullaby/)"

“so many cool sounds in this song and JOBIE's voice is so beautiful”
