this album didn’t exactly grip me like it did a lot of my friends, but damn it if this song doesn’t pull the most sincere sense of yearning from the deepest parts of my soul

A song delving into the heart of the listener. The longing for understanding and compassion from others is something I think most people have felt at some point, but this song evokes such raw emotions.
Play it in a car with the windows down and belt your heart out.

Wasn’t expecting this album to float to the top, but here we are. This is a very theatrical & very affecting album, and it hits on a personal pain point of mine I’ve carried with me for a few years now.
Naming, and opening up that hurt: the haunting expression of double-distilled loneliness on The Constable, with its repeating New Year’s countdown, and its music video showing the front woman finishing up her playing on a piano to lay her head down on it & sob in the loud, wet silence… yeah.
That‘s like the whole album folding itself into a single drawn-out moment in a single song, and that gets me.
I have a recurring New Year’s resolution I’ve made over the past 9 ish years: to have people in my life, such that the next NYE isn’t a lonely one. I made good on that, finally, on New Year’s Eve & Day of 2023-2024, spent with a girl I cared for at the time. As it stands now, this recent New Year’s Day has me back to the recurring resolution.
I feel like it’s tempting to fault yourself entirely for your loneliness. I feel like that’s unfair, most of the time, even though that same feeling also keeps me promising myself things. It’s a feeling I’m hesitant to honor, but it’s undeniably in me, and it deserves to unfold itself and open, sometimes. And, I guess when it does, this is what it sounds like.
