Sam Bekkering Blows me away on every listen. The artistic narrative on this thing has such a good flow, such a big scope of meaning, and such a great level of detail that it all shouldn't be possible in 20 minutes, yet here it is. It's an album that truly realizes it's potential to the fullest.
Favorite track: Haunthead/Other Places.

queencabbage i absolutely adore this record in ways i cant describe, its beautiful, its majestic, its amazing. the songs sound like nothing else you've ever heard before. i frankly, don't quite understand how a human is capable of making so many incredible songs.Emptiness 1,2, and 3 is easily the best song ever made by far. thank you Zach and i hope i get to meet you someday Favorite track: Emptiness Pt. I.

Nate Burr A bit more mature and subdued than past releases but still retaining a grand scope and consistent narrative that carries through, with much clever imagery and thought-provoking philosophies explored.

Gorgeous soundscapes, inspired vision, and masterful musicianship.

This music project is special. Favorite track: Emptiness Pt. I.

I grow tired and uninspired as I don't know where I've been I've got time out and I don't know how but I'm not sleeping again All these people, they can't be real and I just can't let them in To let this go I keep changing, and rearranging So I will 'till the end All these feelings, they must be stealing maybe now I'll pretend Like a freight train, it runs thru my brain now with with the voices of friends Friends now gone, friends now gone Please linger on

Part II: I don't need a lot of love, need a lot of love never have, never will, never can Even if you are, even if you aren't, even if you can't be (well) You can have it all, you can take it all, get away, stay away, come here, be near, watch me disappear, I was never here anyways Maybe this time, I don't mind, that's not me, oh well Even if it's love, could have been, should have been, would've been, never was I can come around, put me in the ground, build me up, break me down, pull me up, push it in, suck it out, make the heart beat, make the blood pump now Things fall apart, but come back together we're tired of the rain, but we love stormy weather and all of the things we've made are now broken or gone Get into line, you've been late for the rapture And all that you've felt, will be felt ever after And I'd say the words, but they always come out so wrong Father told me boys don't cry, so I'm fine, yeah this time Make me feel alive, I can be alive, break away, take away what you've been, I could make pretend, this might be the end Even if it is, put it in the head, the heart, it breaks apart, it's never been, it always is, it never will be now Put me down here, I could be clear, never new the way back out Let the edges burn, burn away, let the bones break, I could be so proud I could take it all, have it all, give it all away, maybe someday I could be anything, now that we're anywhere Things fall apart, but come back together we're tired of the rain, but we love stormy weather and all of the things we've made are now broken or gone Get into line, you've been late for the rapture And all that you've felt, will be felt ever after And I'd say the words, but they always come out so wrong Part III: Suddenly, I'm incomplete I never was, I couldn't be Here, was I whole Here, did I know Suddenly, a thousand things I guess I know I'll never be Here, did I know Was I held, was I whole, was I seen Visions of endless desires, pour from my heart to my skin Call me by some other name (and) start me all over again All along it never was, I guess I'll never be (here was I whole, here did I know) Call me by some other name, and make me once complete (here did I know, here was I whole) I fear it now, I fear it now, I can't see Can you tell me how, oh tell me how, I might be To be lovely or empty, within or without me So strange to be changed and not know Here am I endlessly falling, here am I endlessly wanting, that which I am never to be, all these forms that someday I might keep (waiting right here for so long) I make no lightness of all that I am, all that I am Am I barely alive, put on this skin If I pour from this form and am not made again, will I know (never mind)

All the Spirits left on Sunday, in the middle of the rain While them holy men were laughing, drinking wine and cheap champaign I got lost inside this body, I forgot what I'd been told I would sell all that is holy if I could only see my soul And I ran And I ran With my eyes against my ancient burning hands All them lovers in the darkness, bleeding out and going dry Cast their broken bodies skywards, without ever knowing why If the universe is calling, we may never know it's name If it drowns me in this body, will I know myself the same Godspeed you beast Godspeed you beast Godspeed you lovely beast Maybe someday we'll come to see

about

"In Rapturous Doubt" Movement I

A note on Emptiness and Other Such Places: “Emptiness so often becomes a word we associate with death and defeat, something we might dissolve away in and be forever lost to. So we strive to move away from it, to fill and form ourselves, always attempting to “make” something of ourselves. And strangely enough, many of us become lost to this endless pursuit. We get swallowed. We drown in the very things that we thought would allow us to rise up. In the end, emptiness isn’t the sea from which the drowning man reaches out of, but rather the space he is reaching into. It is that place we forget we came from until the moment it seems lost to us. And all those things we strive to be become only moments, places we will pass through.” -z
