Tom is listening to Gang of Youths. The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows. Dave Le'aupepe writes about faith and doubt and grief with a directness that makes most rock music seem evasive. 'Go Farther in Lightness' is an album about loss and it's enormous and it earns its enormity. I'd like to go farther but it's important to stay at the bench. Four in the morning and the sighs are deep and the shadows are frank and I'm spiritually challenged. Tarot pulled the Judgement card which means reckoning and renewal. He had a voice that sounded like it was trying to convince itself.

"Grief is just love with nowhere to go."

Bench light, late and steady.
