highlyeccentric: Sign: Be aware of invisibility! (Be aware of invisibility)

I have been loop listening to Alex Sturbaum's album 'Loomings' lately, but as often happens with me and new albums, songs creep up on me one by one. First BIG SEA SHANTY Mood, then I zoomed on on 'Sweet Mary Starbuck' for its excellent queer vibes, and this morning the lyrics to 'Stand Steady' (which I had been processing as either a sea shanty or a war ballad) caught me.

YouTube delivered this.



Some of you needed these extra feels. And by some of you I mostly mean monksandbones, but possibly others also.

(But also slight, yeowch. The album came out in July, I assume the song was written in March... some of the lyrics about 'when the bars are back open we'll buy you a round' clearly did not forsee the nonsense that would evolve this summer)

Wow, that's really powerful. You extremely clearly described that it would be emotional but I'm still crying more than I expected. Thanks for the link.
