If you are a lover of the earlier albums and listened to this once and thought, "Wait, what?!" My advice is to throw it on repeat and close your eyes and listen. This album is fucking amazing!

[@michaelwiese7100]

👍

[@oneCalledChapel]

I wish people did that and not just judge the album by it's supposed deviation from the previous albums.

[@SphinX504]

A first listen through does it no justice. A 2nd and 3rd listen really brings the appreciation out. I will say that I absolutely loved this track on first listen though.

[@murraypoulsen8405]

Well said, I threw on the headphones last night and just kicked back and soaked it all in...Amazing!

[@roehrc]

It has been a slow starter for me, one of those albums that i’m not sure about at first but learn to greatly appreciate. I agree that it is a very good album.

Can I get some backstory on this ? EDIT: That is so beautiful, I didn't even know that. Maynard is truly an amazing person.

[@yukinagato1573]

​​​​@@anthonybelliveau-ANYONE-2024 Billy Howerdel and Chester Bennington planned to write a song and record it for Linkin Park's One More Light. If they couldn't come up with anything on the fly, this song (which Billy and Maynard were writing for Billy's Ashes Divide, and was half-done by that point) was his ace on his sleeve. However, that never happened as far as I know. And after OML, Chester took his own life before having the chance to be with Billy in studio. As a dedication for Chester, Billy and Maynard then reworked the lyrics and finished the song, in the way it's presented here.

[@ditzbabii8137]

So sad how this song was meant for Chester Bennington. But Maynard filled the shoes so well. I wonder what the original lyrics and sound would have been though. Rip Chester 🖤

[@tdlchef2011]

i can say that listening to these guys and the likes of tool bring happiness to my dark days as well!

[@bonbon51141]

That is amazing that it helps you in that way! I do not suffer from depression just occasional anxiety. But Maynards singing does something to my soul that is indescribable and addictive.

[@funzario144]

I hope you are fine. I also went through it and was probably like you born 1976 , most intriguing part of depression was that I was feeling nothing. It was like sinking into a viscous and bottomless ocean. This was really fucked up. What helped me was my interest in history. All those conquerors ,emperors , inventors or religious leaders had one thing in common. They were dead. Everything has an end, glory fame but also suffering. What a soothing thought! So I realized that the time we actually have is limited and maybe, like an actor , I can pretend to be happy. So I did like one on stage. Surprisingly it worked for me. This sadness must not be selfdestructive but can be selfrevealing. Tool or Beksinski are proving it.

[@HometownAngler]

[@ivanoliver9532]

I must say that APC brings a weird feeling, most of their lyrics are very depressing but somehow they bring you joy

[@cassi6456]

Love that they aren't afraid to experiment with their sound. Changing things up and exploring different possibilities help artists grow. Rather than trying to force a specific sound, they chose to do what they wanted and probably learned a lot from the experimenting. In love with this album.

[@Stimpylaus]

A perfect opener for a perfect circle..

[@johnchappell1530]

Sometimes the songs we don't like at first go on to be the greatest songs we have ever heard. There's something strange about this but that's just how we are. It's like the song is ahead of our time mentally and then hopefully we get it. Thanks Budda ..

[@ijustneedmyself]

It's so interesting, huh?

[@IIISWILIII]

I can't play piano, but songs like this one make me want to learn. This and "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish" are my two favorite from this album.

[@santoshbhattarai2635]

When Maynard starts his soothing voice..with amazingly composed tune by APC, it's heaven! Thank you!

[@almukhtaranas]

This song saved me. On a 12 hour flight from Cairo to Toronto, there was this baby that wouldnt stop crying. i put this song on repeat and fell asleep for 6 hours. i just zoned out to it, the smoothness of Maynard's voice and the calm music. This song became my go-to-song in flights if i want to sleep.

this song really reminds me of fall 2018. Every morning I just felt like shit because I never got enough sleep. When I would get on the bus to go to school I would put my head on the window and doze off while this album played. Anytime something from this album plays I can almost feel the buzzing from my head being on the window and being cold. Last year during fall I had this album on repeat and I’m probably gonna do it again this year. What’s a weird coincidence is that my mom bought 13th Step when it came out in fall 2002 and it reminds her of fall.

[@lostvagabond365]

just maynard?

[@ParanormalActivity999]

Yes absolutely.. I was referring towards Maynards lyrics, it may be on Tool or APC or Puscifer, his writing is masterpiece and it's emotionally touched to me. I love Billy too and other members are ain't less genius, so they're called 'Supergroup'.

[@pascalcollin999]

Assurément une des plus belles chansons que j'ai entendue. La batterie, le piano profond et la voix sublime de MJK sont d'une beauté hallucinante. Les arrangements sont incroyables, production parfaite. J'en ai des frissons à chaque écoute. Cette chanson est un chef d'œuvre...ABSOLU.

[@deimoskaischylos]

I do not know what it is, but there is something about this song that evokes a deep sense of familiarity in me when I hear it. It reminds me of how I felt when I would wander Dallas at night, not wanting to go "home" and having no one else I felt close to; having nowhere else to go but to the streets and within my own head. So much has changed since then, yet so much hasn't. Comfortable is what this song feels like.

I listened only to electronic music and did not perceive other genres at all. Once a music service offered me to listen to it. I've never heard such an angelic voice before.

[@rogtronius]

Great job, I love this song and this album!

[@ThePeca1988]

This is just great for what it is. I left this album alone when it came out, as i know myself enough to know that im not easy on new albums from old bands i loved for their earlier work, and i dont give the chance they deserve so easily anymore, but damn im glad it found me in an open minded state, even if 2 years after release. It came the right time, and i'm glad i could give it a go, a real one, and accept it, let soak it in. This is a brilliant album. A bit different than before, but we are also different than before. Just like the song says, you just have to give it a go, just take the step. I'm glad its such a honest (or at least honest to me) album, i really feel so, and i not necessarily miss any of the more aggressive stuff they did in the past. I'm long not 18 anymore, and my 20s are gone aswell, but its good to see an "old friend" again, and more importantly that this friend is just fine, and does what it does just as good as before, just as good as 20 years ago. We all got older and wiser, and APC has come a long way too. Its different, and ist still a band to listen to after all these years that gone by.

[@GIUSAF]

Not even lying when I say this is probably the BEST song I've heard from APC. Thank you Maynard. This is pure fucking gold.
