During the 2020-2021 holiday season, I had been listening to this album for a few weeks and it had been growing on me. I had always loved Hum, and it was such a surprise when they released this album. That Christmas night after a great family get together and a few drinks, I took a blanket and a 6 pack into the cowfield behind my childhood home and laid back and relaxed and watched the full moon, and a storm roll in and pass with fast moving clouds, listening to this album 3-4 times. Ill always remember that. It has become my favorite album since then.
I loved them for years too. always heard rumours of a new album but it never came and never came, and then it never came again. then one day late at night when i was in bed awake all night going through something mentally challenging, in a lot of pain. out of nowhere it came. put on my headphones and just lay there and let it all out. Couldn't believe what I was hearing, and I had some instant perspective on my troubles and the shape of the universe. I could see Vega in the night sky from my bedroom window and focused my gaze on it. one of those profound moments when you feel complete peace. distance and connectedness are the same time. I remember wondering about how many other people out there at that moment in time were absorbing that same gift through their ears and what they were feeling, and I felt we were all feeling it together. It's nice to hear from one of you!
