MP3: Winter Took His Life - I'm done trying
Welcome to November! The days are getting shorter and the trees have a tenuous grip on their last few leaves. My soundtrack for this month: Winter Took His Life. An ominous moniker, to be sure, but it's not as if the music would suggest otherwise. Or the cover art for that matter. These are sounds for cold, grey days. For quiet and solitude, though said solitude might not be by choice. "I'm done trying" is actually not as pessimistic as you might expect - it doesn't dwell on the sickness as much as it looks forward to something better. Come with me, it says. "I'd make room for you, we'd be better off being two." Somewhere (London?), anywhere. "This town is holding us back." It takes a little while to get going, but the payoff is worth it. The resignation has turned to resolve.
Hopefully you've already investigated the recent split netrelease with Björn Kleinhenz, but if not, please do so! Otherwise, subscribe to the Record Club for a copy of the new album or purchase it ala carte right here.
