“Interlude 1” by alt-J on An Awesome Wave caught my attention from the very first note. The acapella song immediately follows the “Intro” of the album, and the transition from a very full track to a completely stripped and raw one surprised me. In a good way. 

Gus compliments Joe with a very complex harmony. I marvel at their voices and their delivery of rhythmic and poetic words and syllables to tell a story. This was after I realized that there was even a story at all. After my post about “Taro”, this can probably go without saying...but I used to listen to this song with no regards for the lyrics. Truly illegal. 

Then finally came my “alt-J enlightenment.” I read a lot about the lyrics and came across many interpretations. Reason #158 why I love alt-J: their lyrics are ambiguous. Even if the band themselves had certain intentions with the song, they give listeners interpretive freedom.

For “Interlude 1” specifically, alt-J intended it to be about a girl who wants to live life on her own terms. No pain, no hurt, no negativity, and no responsibility to those above. But those above – who are up for interpretation – tell her that to enjoy the good, she must find balance in the not-so-good. 

“Like all good fruit, the balance of life is in the ripe and ruin.” 

While everyone typically concludes the same revelation about this song – that life is a balance – I noticed that the identity of the girl changes from person to person. I once read that the girl has OCD and is overwhelmed by the chaos of the world. She counts her steps in increments of eighteen to keep her head above water. Personally, I identify with a girl who longs to be comfortable, content, and happy. To me, the person above is God, who tells me that there is a purpose in ripe and ruined fruit. He reminds me that I have to be uncomfortable sometimes; that among the barking dogs and the “great grey world of hearts”, there is balance, goodness, and purpose.

Finally got around to putting these gorgeous babes above my bed. I need to get frames for them yet, but they still look great anyway. I love that they’re both space themed. 🌈☄️✨🌙🌌🚀👽#kesha #kesharainbowtour #altjband #signedposter #limitededition
