    this song is so dark and painful. the ending gives me goosebumps every time. it reminds me the pain of losing someone i loved and loneliness takes over me as the song progresses.

    We recorded at Hightower the week after they recorded this. Such an honor. I actually flipped the page of Emma's notes to write my own. Special song, special album, special studio.

    This song just confirms how depression and anxiety can be so perpetually crippling. And for some of us this internal turbulence becomes an entity in itself and you can't seem to rid it no matter how hard you try. So we befriend it. Embracing the darkness rather than running and hiding. There's no escaping this benign masochism. Emma said it best "Circle down to the mouth of the valley. Kneel now down at the face, at the gate. As every footfall crumbles so fast beneath me. Under the weight of this Eternal Shame. And to you who've given up in the Valley. And to you who've given all to its wake. Just another endless night falls around thee. Just another grey landscape to face. I want to step into the armor of another, stronger. I want to look once through the eyes of someone good.
    So I can gather up the names of our mothers.
    And wash away the shame and lift them to sainthood. But if you have given up in the valley. And if you have given all to its wake.
    Just another endless nightfall around me.
    Just another fucked up thing I can't save..."

      At the heart of depression and anxiety is abuse and intergenerational trauma, which is why I think she also speaks in the end to overcoming:
      "You see them?
      All those who have fallen
      Stacked up like stones in a pile
      You see them?
      A tower of failures
      Get them out of my way"
      As someone who has been doing trauma therapy for months now, that's how I read this song. Then I queue up the live version of "No Dog" by Esben and the Witch.

    ✍Circle down to the mouth of the valley
    Kneel now down at the face, at the gate
    As every footfall crumbles so fast beneath me
    Under the weight of this eternal shame
    And to you who've given up in the valley
    And to you who've given all to its wake
    Just another endless night falls around thee
    Just another grey landscape to face
    I want to step into the armor of another, stronger
    I want to look once through the eyes of someone good
    So I can gather up the names of our mothers
    And wash away the shame and lift them to sainthood
    But if you have given up in the valley
    And if you have given all to its wake
    It's just another endless night fall around me
    Just another fucked up thing I can't save
    But always run forever miles, does it end?
    Then another wall rises in the distance
    Their horizon parts for none, where mothers failed
    To carry all their weight, I will be brave
    Yes, I will be brave
    You feel them?
    Those who have fallen
    Stacked up like stones in a pile
    I feel them
    A tower of failures
    So twisted and vile
    You see them there?
    Ancient and seething
    Get them out of my way
    You see them?
    Those who have fallen
    Get 'em out of my way
    You see 'em?
    Those who have fallen
    Stacked up like stones in a pile
    You see them?
    A tower of failures
    Get 'em out of my way
    You see them?
    Ancient and seething
    Twisted and vile
    You see them?
    Those who have fallen
    Get them out of my way
    You see 'em there?
    A tower of failures
    Get 'em out of my way
