'Round and 'round humanity goes.

Same old tired problems.

Same old decades.

(I want out)

Track from my EP "Old Suns" inspired by another tired trip around the sun.

Also, a dejected take on Italian astronomer, Galileo Galilee's supposed quote, "And yet it moves."

"Eppur si muove."

Potentially said boldly to the religious inquisition during his sentencing; in his cell; or to his friend during the reset of his life under house arrest.

Paintings around the time and related to him point to it being true.

Shackled for his wacky views on the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Truth wins regardless of your fabrications of reality.

As fun as the counter to it might be.

Truth, hell we don't even know for sure if he said it, but it's still inspiring, huh.

Doesn't take away the objective.

The tracks on the album also partially inspired by this Dismemberment Plan tune:

The DP - The Ice of Boston

I've listened to it every New Year since finding it as a personal tradition.

So, I made a small collection of tunes reflecting on the end of a year.

Each one from a different year.

Released Jan 1st of this year.

Rest of the release:

EP on Bandcamp

EP on Spotify

Hello new year.
It's old me.
We're getting closer, aren't we?
I can't wait.
Reminiscence.
I'm pretty tired.
The pillars grow pale.
. . .Idée fixe. . .

It still burns.
It all burns.
Crushingly, burns.
