With a title like “Dying Alone,” one cannot help but immediately get into a somber mood of reflection, melancholy, and sorrow. After all, we are all coffin bound, and many of us are destined to spend our final moments alone. I suppose that the current global situation has only exasperated our loneliness, a prospect that many of us are not welcoming in the very end. I remember having one of our last conversations with my grandmother. I remember her asking, “What happens next?” as I sat there holding her hand. “I don’t know what will come next,” she said as she drifted in and out of lucidity. “I think I know,” I said to myself, but my lips stayed sealed. I think I know, but then again, do I? Titles like “Dying Alone” can bring back repressed memories, stir up emotion, and color the way that I hear the sound. And it’s not the only introspectively titled piece on a new album by Hammock itself titled Elsewhere. And while these thoughts make me sullen and sad, there is a spark in the night that makes me want to reach up, out, and live. To that end, “Elsewhere serves as a gateway to another place, materializes feelings of separation and loss without closure, and calls listeners back to live their lives – not spend them longing to be something or somewhere else.” And that’s just the words – the music by Hammock is a whole other journey. I think it is fair to say that I have covered and picked nearly every album by Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson for my Best of the Year selections for every single year since I discovered the band in 2006. And I’m sure that I’ve got the 2021 pick right here. So without further ado, I’m honored to exclusively premiere for you a track titled “Dying Alone”.

"Seeking overlooked beauty and prizing reflection in a distracted world, Hammock creates cinematic music for the road less traveled. In stirring works of shimmering post-rock ambience that swell with hope and melancholic nostalgia, the Nashville-based duo of Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson immerse listeners in living visions of moments long past, animating life’s fond remembrances and scarring losses with gentle lens-flare harmonics, heart-surging neoclassical drama, and pensive silence. A direct challenge to the passive existence of modern life, where everything can be experienced but precious little is felt, Hammock demands, and richly rewards, patience and contemplation."

I've listened to this album more than a dozen times already, and I'm excited for you to hear the whole thing on November 5th, 2021, when it comes out on all of your favorite digital platforms. And yes, the world needs this on vinyl, but I suspect that the pressing is postponed as are all most recent releases. Quick recognition of two appearances on the album as well: Matt Slocum on the cello and Matt Kidd (aka Slow Meadow) on the piano. Oh, and have you noticed that the mixing, mastering, and cover art are done by Taylor Deupree? An amazing package of like-minded folks on this one.

The Aurora Principle - And the Waves Washed Over Me 

A few words from the artist.. 

"I started this adventure back in 2013 as a creative outlet of sorts - a way to work with my more "experimental" ideas. The Aurora Principle has since become my main creative focus, and I couldn't be happier about it. I've truly fallen in love with music-making all over again. Whether it be crafting delicate drones or structuring complex melodies, I take immense pleasure in each step of my production process. Though it can be frustrating sometimes, knowing that I'm part of something so incredible gives me a real sense of purpose. " 

And the Waves Washed Over Me" is, if nothing else, a perfect embodiment of my passion for experimental production. Its elements were prepared, rendered, fed into a granular resampler, edited, recorded, processed, and re-arranged to create something completely different."

LYRICS

I hear you come around standing at the door
I know it's you think I'll ignore
While the rest of them are falling
Love isn't something that I need anymore

If only you would go but I won't stop calling
If only you could know this door won't open
If only you stayed home I'll be waiting for it
If only you said no

So hear I am waiting standing at the door
It's just another night but there's something else in store
While you were out there falling
I was hoping that you wanted me the most

If only you would go but I won't stop calling
If only you could know this door won't open

If only you stayed home I'll be waiting for it
If only you said no

If only you would go but I won't stop calling
If only you could know this door won't open
If only you stayed home I'll be waiting for it
If only you said no

What Happens After

If Only (You Said No)

a cover of one of my favorite songs :)

[lyrics]
it never really mattered too much to me
that you were just too damn raw for me
all that really mattered was you were my girlfriend
and baby, that's all that mattered to me

so let me love you down
even if it takes all night
let me love you down
you know it's gotta be so right

remember when i drove you home from work? 
i love the way you and me kissed goodbye
and all of your friends think i'm just too dumb for you
so tell em that i can do what they can do
oh, babe

so let me love you down
even if it takes all night
let me love you down
you know it's gotta be so right

it never really mattered too much to me
that they were just too damn blind to see
as long as i can love you down, baby just be my girl
and really, that's all that matters to me

so let me love you down
even if it takes all night
let me love you down
you know it's gotta be so right

love u down (taylor Morgan + saint tomorrow)
