Liner Notes

I thought I'd start with a quick throwaway, as I'm a bit late starting!

Lyrics

the anguish and the shame
and the lies
won't save you when it's your time to die
won't help you when you're cut down to size

never forgiven
beatified
beatified

pretend that it is all by design
no remorse for your litany of crimes
act as if you were always resigned

never forgiven
beatified
beatified

You’ve done a lot with a small number of words here. The intro is so cool, how it gets bigger unexpectedly. Gorgeous vocals. Not everyone can make beatified work in a song, but you have. The piano transition is stylish.

Lovely and dark! Great vocals, and I love those touches of piano. Great arrangement, so cool

Lol at this being a throwaway. I like this minimal production, really highlighting your vocals, which sound really strong and haunting on this track, especially with these spare, dark, and evocative lyrics. Great melodic progression, and the piano and drum flourishes are a nice touch.

There is a lot of soul inside the lyrics and melody. Powerful and concise. Awesome!

Love the vocals and the vocal melody.
Guitar sounds good against them. Man, just a great feel to this.
The piano is a unique touch that doesn't take away from the vibe, but it adds a different character.
Also really love the underlying organ/string/synth/whatever; its subtle and swells in at the right spots after the intro.
The sudden and sparse drum builds/fills are an excellent touch, too.
Awesomely arranged and again those vocals sound great.

Intense and personal; I feel like we're in a tiny club, and I could reach out and touch you. There's a grandness to this that sweeps over me as I listen, a calm but definite power that is resolutely compelling.
