You have dreams, and you have passion, and that's more than what most people in this world have and is worth more than what most people do have. I seriously respect that you were able to say "this is what I was born to do" and that you're able to recognize what it is you truly love doing.

Thanks man. I wish I would have been braver as a younger man to pursue the arts with more conviction.

EDIT: Man... check out 23:29 Damn.

Do you have the opportunity to get out and play / is that something you can make happen in the future? I dunno, you seem super busy but maybe there's a way to go out and perform if you're not already doing that.

First impression: Enjoyed this album a lot, it feels like a natural progression from The Whole Love and the second half of the album carries a lot of lyrical weight with some unpredictable instrumentation to strengthen that fact. Taste the Ceiling onwards is a trip. My favorite three tracks are likely: Where Do I Begin, Magnetized, and Taste the Ceiling in that order. But Cold Slope and Random Name Generator are close and this will likely switch with more listens.

Edit: Listened to Where Do I Begin four times now...this song is a work of art. I need to some music writing this weekend too. Damn.
