    “Should you lay under the willow, thunder will shake, your father shall punish, and yet your lover shall find you”- Macarison Adonias this is a quote told to me by one of my auditory hallucinations based off your song and it is as beautiful as your voice.

    I commented on another song of yours talking about the style maybe a few months ago but since then ive been looking at more of your music and i can say with certainty that you are one of the greatest musicians ive ever heard. it combines so many styles of music to produce some of the most gut wrenching and heartfelt melodies i have ever heard. you are an absolute gem in the music industry.

    this entire album is still, after all this time, our favorite album. every fallen feather is our and our partners song. this is the song that got us through our last breakup, from our abusive partner and the long term torment they put us through. i don't care if this is read, let along liked or commented on. sometimes the best thing to do is scream to the void

    I come from the future! It is Tuesday, November 24, 2020. After watching the animatic by double0doodles, I truly fell in love with your music. I decided to come over and listen to more, and here we are! I do hope you continue to sing. You have the most wonderful voice I've ever heard. It's a shame people only listened to Peace, and never listened to anything else. It bothers me when they only stick around because of something else, instead of staying to admire work.

    I discovered this channel back in November but never commented until now. Decided to comment on UTW since it's my favorite, next to Godspeed, WotW, and Grind My Bones. Though if I must be honest, I think the fact there's this old railroad that goes through the forest by my house in Norwich with a bridge just like that adds to my love of the song, heh.
    Such a diverse music style. Mercy Down (which I admit is a bit too political for my tastes), UTW, Devil's and Rebels... If there was a cover for each sang by different people, you'd have no idea they were made by the same guy! Unfortunate that you don't have much of a following, but I suppose that's what a lack of standardization does.

    Okay didn't see any one else say this so here it goes
    I interpreted this song as a man is under a willow tree and hears thunder, and indicator of lighting. The tree is struck with lighting and he dieds. He sees a wise man which is some sort of afterlife vision or deity. The whole song is basically him talking/thinking about his family and loved ones. Also this means this is awfully sad because he believes he can still be redeem even though he is dead.
    Just thought I would say some Crack pot theory for funnies not really for meaning
    Nice song though
