The title track is one of the most heartbreaking songs I know. Love that album.

Thrilled to be getting a new album from Robert. The video embedded in the P4K announcement is one of the better EPK's I've seen in awhile.

OTM. The funny thing is, the melody and his vocal are so profoundly sad, but the song is just about moving to Australia from Germany.

It's the way he sings

"But something’s not right, something’s gone wrong"

that is so heartbreaking. It gets me every single time.

You are completely right. I was just getting the titles mixed up in my head for some reason.

I like the new song, especially the high pitched vocals that lead into that awesome solo. Pre-ordered the limited edition vinyl this morning. Very excited for this.

six years pass...

gave this a go for the first time in well over a decade this morning and it's just such a ... (big sigh) pleasant album. very resonating and tyler sums it up well:

started out thinking, "why don't i listen to this more?" and then remembered why, since the first few songs pretty much reduce me to tears.

there's a thing where someone might make an album so bad, you stop paying attention. wondering an inverse phenomenon can be true: someone makes something so good, so late in the game that you just figure they'll never top it. kind of how it went with me and rf after this album.
