This album is a life saver to me. Just the themes that Bradford and Lockett cover in their lyrics has given me something to relate to. Illness, despair, loss, being abandoned, and being unable to relate to the rest of the world emanates from Bradford's lyrics. I just feel it so much. Lockett's "Fountain Stairs" and "Desire Lines" are pieces that contrast this sense of hopelessness and give me hope. Just an overall exquisite, beautiful album and one of my favorites of all time.
