Long Goodbyes

Songs like Long Goodbyes bring me back again. The song invites the bleakness in, then pours it out again, filtered in fight and colour. The power and pain is still there, but it feels more bearable, something transformed. It takes all that emotion, gripped so tightly, and casts it into the sky. A song to hold to yourself, to sing to the north-east wind until the dust is out of your eyes." (fabulist.org)
