Man, this feels genuine in a way that few songs can express. Raw unfiltered emotional release

I would have liked another instrument in there to provide a bit more structure. Outside of that, it sounds fine although the piano dominates the mix sometimes and can make it hard to hear the vocals

vocals contrast sonically with the piano in a very cool way

very interesting use of dissonance with the contrasting vocals that wave in and out sounds very interesting.

I would like to dive deeper into the lore, but the singing is quite hard to understand sometimes.

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

Apples, Apricots, Pears, Plums

Lyrics:

I think I saw you on the TV screen
saved you all year just for halloween
soaked in blue, feeling frail
falling asleep to another scary tale

now I am here on the other side
looking for ways to get you off my mind
stuck like a leech
when did it all get so fucking drenched in distortion

they all look up to the sky, I put my ear to the ground
I don't care what I see, I just follow the sound
the way she speaks to me it sounds like music

gifted kid without a voice
did you hear the news? they said he drowned in noise
abandoned him in a water park
I heard that you can still see him after dark

there's no more sun
am I the only one
that can't be bothered with this? I'm done
like a vampire I will feast on you
will I always be scared of emotions?

they all look up to the sky, I put my ear to the ground
I don't care what I see, I just follow the sound
the way she speaks to me it sounds like music

a silverfish by my feet
a super swipe to the right
I can be your obsession for one night
you're not my first
guess I'm the worst
guess I'm the worst

VAMPIRE HOURS

We all strive for one thing in life, we all yearn to feel accepted and told that we did a good job, we all want to feel loved and to have someone rely on us, but how far will you go to please someone? what boundaries are you willing to cross just to feel that little ounce of dopamine getting shot through your mind?

Use Me?
