kinda overwhelmingly wistful like a daniel johnston / beach boys / lana del rey sorta thing. it moved me, thank you for making it

This is genuinely so good. The acoustic part is extremely nice, and then the lead guitar fits in perfectly. Mix wise this is perfect, the composition is fantastic and the lyrics are wonderful. Liked and will be listening to many more times. Keep it up!!

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR PILGRIM DAUGHTERRRRRR

Describes the 1919 meeting between Russell and Wittgenstein. Russell meets him at the Hague hoping to bring him back to cambridge and have him take over as his ideological successor. Wittgenstein infroms him that he not  returning and also what they both already know is true. Russell's life work is out of date and eclipsed by Wittgensteins.  Many lyrics reworked from Russell's letters describing the event.

Please Don't Go - Demo

I started work on this album after being put out of work in June of 2020. I’d been traveling for my job for a really long time, and when I came home I was a bit lost. The first night I got home I dreamt of a song. When I woke up I picked up my guitar for the first time in about a year and wrote the song Ambulance. From then on, I spent a lot of time re-learning to play my instruments, since I hadn’t had access to them for so long (in addition to the fact that I was suuupppeerrr rusty on guitar to begin with, it’s been a REALLY long time) and getting back in touch with some older music that I’d been putting off listening to for a while. Originally, this album was gonna have a much more upbeat vibe, but as we delved deeper into the pandemic, that vibe disintegrated and devolved into what’s easily the most emotionally vulnerable Blue Hole album to date. After scrapping the original version of the album (Slate and Tents are the only original versions that made it on the record) I went on a musical tangent into Cosmonaut, born out of me rediscovering synths and trying to capture the magic that I had with Osmosis. Whether or not I was successful is debatable, but it was a great excursion to get my mind in the right place to finish Songs Of Isolation, the right way. 

Most of these songs were recorded alone, between the hours of 2-6 A.M.. Nearly all percussion was made by hand with various objects laying around the studio. All of the vocals were recorded in a week-long stretch on my couch. As far as lyrics, production, instrumentation, and overall execution go, this is easily the most intimate album I’ve ever even attempted, let alone released, and the emotions expressed here are all real and very important to me. I feel like this marks the beginning of a new era for Blue Hole and my musical output, as my music continues to bind itself tighter and tighter to my personality and emotion. In my mind, my anxiety makes me feel like I’m too old for this type of thing and every album feels like my last. I’m turning 23 on the 15th of October, so I have to keep reminding myself that I’m (hopefully) just beginning, and not to beat myself up too badly. If I keep making things that I can be this proud of, that shouldn’t be too hard. 

Thanks for listening, 
Jake

John Maynard Keynes, the widely admired and widely cursed economist, wrote to his wife one day in 1929: “Well, God has arrived. I met him on the 5:15 train.”
God in this case was Ludwig Wittgenstein returning to Cambridge after 4 years of war and 10 years of poverty. 
Lyrics are mostly pulled from letters from the time describing Wittgenstein with obvious double meaning. Good bass line too.

5 15 To Cambridge

leave it all behind
strive for another life
do you really want to know the price?

dreams dust evaporating from your soul
turn away from all that take you back
self intact

dreams dust evaporates away
fractured memory contorts your face

stasis chamber

falling in love
calling your phone
falling in love

intoxicate me
with all of your touch
im falling in love with
someone that hurts

never say the right words
but never stay long
im waiting for ur whisper
youre already gone


im holding on to nothing 
echoes in the dark 
you loved me like a secret 
then tore me apart 

fall in luv
