    Hello, thank you for listening to our music. I hope it gives you some joy and pleasure.
    I am pleased that you have discovered our music through this medium. I view this experience as the equivalent of previewing a record in a record store in days of old. However, if you wish to experience the music in its' fullest form, I would strongly encourage you to acquire it in a physical format you can bring into your home. Not only will you then be able to experience the richest version of the music sonically, but you will also be afforded the opportunity to enjoy the tangible artwork, which was conceived in tandem with the music, and serves as a further portal to experiencing the total conceptual and spiritual and emotional content of the work we have labored, lovingly, to bring to you.
    I love you,

    I saw a live performance of this on UA-cam, and at the end of the song Michael said this song was dedicated to “the beautiful thurston moore and his beautiful friends “ could Frankie m be connected to thurston and sonic youth? Maybe Michael and thurstons work with glen brancha? Or possibly early early swans? I’m super curious on this one

    • @svp6055

      most likely about Frankie Machine since theres heavy drug mentions, I thought of Suicide's self-titled too at first but it seems a bit of a stretch imo since there's no connection I can see in the lyrics other than sharing the name Frankie (great song though, those screams will always haunt me)

    I always thought that this song is about the frankeinstein junior monster. Because its Frankie for Frankenstein and M for Monster. And also because Gira says "Live again" and "Rise again", which is exactly what the Frankenstein monster does.
