I think that today I let go of the love of my life. she is going to marry another man . When I got home the notification of this LP arrived. thanks hotel books for making my pain even worse.

I know the feeling. April 6 2017 it happened to me as well.

[@franzgabatin1796]

Death is a Terrifying Thing I forget what you meant I forget what you meant, I've been choking on nothing Choking on nothing again Hoping for something Hoping for something to captivate my head [Verse 2] Death is real, I don't need an augmentation of the way that I think It's easy to feel its embrace when your hands are on the edge of a cliff, looking at the brink of your own defeat And you're afraid of real failure, so you live for fake success You try to trace behavior in your own tattered dress Hoping you'll be in a pine box long enough to feel alive The irony is that it's the only way that we can still fight But the moments that you'll never have back I can tell you what I love, but I can't tell you what I lack From what I've experienced and what I think I can feel You can't believe in love, if you don't believe that death is real

[@themikebliss]

i came to this video just to see all the comments about cam’s autotune. it’s insane how immediately dismissive people are to what music is trying to convey just because of a vocal effect. sure, the first listen through it definitely caught me off guard, but after a few more listens i think the way it’s utilized throughout this album fits perfectly with the atmosphere. call me crazy, but it’s 2019. would you rather hear more meticulously edited and tuned vocals from Cam or would you rather hear his honest, emotional delivery through an effect that (in my opinion) meshes well with the instrumental palette? either way, this release keeps growing on me and i’ve been loving it. keep growing and experimenting, hotel books. it’s refreshing.

[@Blixen2112]

Today, but 10 years ago, my grandmother passed away, she was all in my life and I miss her so much. This album is a very special thing for remembering her. ❤️ Really, the most beautiful gift for valentine's day! Thanks guys! I love you ❤️ I'm so glad and proud of you!

[@smokeandmirrors85]

At first listen, I am already feeling as though this album is a gigantic step up from the previous few albums (EWCHDD will always be my personal fav). I love the ambient/melodic direction of this new release. Instrumentally it sounds very articulate, and great blends between clean vocals and spoken word sections. 10/10

[@pannapozytywka8850]

So in "your voice" is this line "And now you're realizing that your serotonin is completely depleted And you're just praying that you'll make it to the next weekend" and it hit me so hard that i need to stop this song to cry. This hits too close to home and I realised how broken i am

[@franzgabatin1796]

[Chorus] You were the best of friends Who have the worst intents [?] Was she calling? Was she calling? You were the best of friends Who have the worst intents [?] Was she calling? Was she calling out? [Verse 1] You live for confidence Well, I can confidently say That we'll find a bright future if we can just find some better days 'Cause I want something I know that you cannot give, a sense of clarity Certainty were certainly no memory of the truth we knew before we found it would mean everything I wish I knew how to give something that I never got I wish I knew how to love you and not hate myself a lot And now it's just a fading memory to keep these demons at bay [Chorus] You were the best of friends Who have the worst intents [?] Was she calling? Was she calling? You were the best of friends Who have the worst intents [?] Was she calling? Was she calling out? [Verse 2] All I ask is that you know yourself and feel hope without chasing after a shadow of a doubt And we'll scream out loud to live in a cloud of confusion It's abusive to live life just to avoid pain But put in a corner, an emotional hoarder It feels more like a game to jump to conclusions When was the last time you chased after pleasure? When you talk to yourself about the future, and not just the weather? Where you can find a vapid way to put it into practice, without feeling so plastic [Chorus] You were the best of friends Who have the worst intents [?] Was she calling? Was she calling? You were the best of friends Who have the worst intents [?] Was she calling? Was she calling out?

[@nicolesciacca5667]

Your a real God for posting the lyrics

[@franzgabatin1796]

There Is [Intro] I know you've been alone for a while You hide behind that half-hearted smile [Verse 1] You used to fear a nuanced opinion, now it's so blunt you can finally capture a moment If it ever existed, whether it be love or hope If telling the truth is no longer in the group's interest then the individual will no longer see the value in telling it That's where we're at now, when the dictions will scream out loud And you said, "if someone loves you, that doesn't mean they have to save you, but you still expect them to And that's just the truth" [Chorus] There's a light inside of me Searching for the light inside of me There's a light inside of me Searching for the light inside of me I love you [Verse 2] Rebellion feels like an addiction, and would we wanna break the rules, we will 'Cause there's a thrill, but if no one teaches us what the rules are, we won't know what to break So we'll destroy everything, and we'll take it 'til we have nothing And it's not a way to live, but through this it's all I've learned You can disagree with someone but you can't lift them out of your heart, or turn 'Cause life is too precious To hate someone is not cultured, or even meaningful And you cannot drink poison expecting someone else to die So let go of all your broken lies I wish I would learn sooner The only recourse should be integrity There's no weapon in hand so you don't have to worry about an enemy 'Cause we will all die, and we will all live forever 'Cause we will all die, and we will all live forever We will all die, and we will all live forever Whenever you're ready, we'll all live life together [Chorus] There's a light inside of me Searching for the light inside of me There's a light inside of me Searching for the light inside of me I love you

[@lilvegan]

After a couple years of listening. I can confidently say that this is the most important music album to me. The way it reaches down into my being just leaves me feeling grateful for the life God gives us all.

[@atown198622]

The album is great. I’ve never felt such a connection with how I felt or really understood how I felt personally. But it’s like the vocalist knows exactly what I’m feeling and going through and knows how to put it in the right words and feelings/expressions.

[@franzgabatin1796]

Just What I Feel Pt.2 [Intro] "One day, Confucius was out for a walk with his disciples. And he saw another man fall into a big mountain stream. He thought, "Alas, he is sick and old and tired of life and he's making up with himself. Far below where the point he fell in was an enormous cataract, and then, uh, rocks and rapids underneath. And suddenly, the old man appeared way down below the rapids. He crawled out of the stream, and went strolling along the banks. Confucius was amazed, and he immediately sent a disciple to run up to the old man so that he could talk to him. He said, "Sir, I thought you were about to make away with yourself. But I see now that you must be a spirit." And he said, "No, I'm not a spirit, I'm just a perfectly human being." "Well, then how did you survive the cataract?" He said, "In no special way. I just went in with a swirl and turned up with a whirl. I did nothing, I simply adapted myself to the nature of the world." And so in the same way, we have [?] connected with [?], and uhm, zen, earlier zen traditions. Many instances of famous monks who look like [?] are the [?], there is a drawing of uh, [?]. And he was [?], as the Japanese say, "[?]." Uh, they were two mountain hermits, who are favorite subjects of [?] (Where our dreams come true) [Radio chatter] [Vocoder Bridge] This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine Even if it's dark I'm, I'm gonna let it shine Let it shine [Verse] I will try not to acquiesce to the idealism I built in my head Consumed by an inaugural address in the corner of a concrete room with bittersweet lateral grooves The remnants of this commencement dissipate through the trees and a forest leading to the fountain of life Where we'll lose a fight when the continuum of life ceases To simply comply with the energy we occupy 'Cause when we're alive it's connected to our thoughts Which means the energy can be connected to our love or our hope And when we finally choke, the energy will move on and our swan song will simply be an echo So we can let go [Outro] "Hey John, this is a poem idea I've had. I don't know if I fleshed it out enough, I don't know if I am saying more than I should without understanding it completely, to be honest with you. God is a camera and if you're not ready to show up with your own camera, then you should not-- you should not be in the scene. I wanna be something, but I don't want to feel away with accepting responsibility. So I don't drive down the roads where my dead friends used to live, I don't drive by the house where my innocence died as a kid. I was supposed to be at the Church of Christ, not the Church of Vices, but now I'm afraid to love someone who isn't like this. So I changed the radio station, where they played the new Eminem featuring Ed Sheeran, 'cause I don't need another white pop star collaboration to define my generation. Forgive me, friends, I created this world in my head. I'm sorry you have to live with it. Nah. Scratch that. Forgive me, friends, I'm selfish. [?], call me back buddy. Bye."

Come to realize he puts everything he feels into music and then releases them for all to understand his pain. This is his sanity if you look back at other songs by him

[@jocelynmariewilliams1567]

I just listened to this for the 10th time from start to finish and I'm telling you this is their best album so far. You have to take it as whole. Individually the song may not stand against some of their past work but as an album, I'm convinced this one stands above the rest

Yeah, I would love this much more without the autotune. I understand it is Cam's artistic decision, but I'm just not fond of the sound. Still a good album though.

Just How I Feel Pt.3 [Intro] Finding love in all the lies It goes on and on and on and on Finding love in all the lies It goes on and on and on and on until we're dead [Verse 1] I was hiking up a mountain, just to prove to myself that the comments were not true ([?]) My breathing felt countless, looking through the clouds, each one telling me a different truth Trying to stay grounded, I'll pray to whichever star reminds me most of you My heart fully surrounded, each beat rebounding off the water's face The ripple displaced the moment erased just to remind myself I'm not living for the revenue [Pre-Chorus] [?] Whisper to me Put the shiver back in my bones The first time I wrote a song about feeling alone [Chorus] I'm the only one who's going crazy (Finding love in all the lies) Why does this feel like a crisis to me? (It goes on and on and on and on) I'm the only one who's feeling it lately (Finding love in all the lies) Why does this feel like a crisis to me? (It goes on and on and on and on until we're dead) [Verse] A rabbit looked at me and I hoped it meant something Like your spirit was touching my blood as it was quickly rushing I used to want to fight the world, but you told me, once I grow up, the only thing left would be for me to fight that feeling And you said a good artist makes something that's important to them And a hack just tries to make something that'll come off as important to everyone else And I didn't know what that meant, at least not back then And you said that if I don't understand something, don't mistake it as mystical It could just be my own confusion [Pre-Chorus] [?] Whisper to me Put the shiver back in my bones The first time I wrote a song about feeling alone [Chorus] I'm the only one who's going crazy (Finding love in all the lies) Why does this feel like a crisis to me? (It goes on and on and on and on) I'm the only one who's feeling it lately (Finding love in all the lies) Why does this feel like a crisis to me? (It goes on and on and on and on until we're dead) [Bridge] Your eyes look like marbles full of hundred winters without a Christmas A parcel full of abundant splinters coming from broken distance Your eyes look like marbles full of hundred winters without a Christmas A parcel full of abundant splinters coming from broken distance Your eyes look like marbles full of hundred winters without a Christmas A parcel full of abundant splinters coming from broken distance Your eyes look like marbles full of hundred winters without a Christmas A parcel full of abundant splinters coming from broken distance [Outro] Tell me this means something Tell me it's you trying to send me a message Tell me this means something Tell me it's you trying to tell me something Tell me this means something Tell me this means something

[@franzgabatin1796]

Just What I Feel Pt.1 [Chorus] You will be there for the road ahead Whether you want to be or not You don't want to go out and break your neck But it might be the only move you got It's all you got [Verse 1] You're not a martyr for burning yourself at the stake You're a firestarter, learning nothing from your mistakes You make mistakes And I don't need to be told how you perceive my reality when I'm simply living in it So keep your propaganda to yourself I don't want to hear someone else's words from you, just because you once fell for it It's so selfish 'Cause loving someone is like having a Suitcase around your neck And every time you fall apart or fight you're throwing another brick in it And eventually it's too heavy for you to carry 'cause it weighs you down So you say, "I'm sorry" Which has no meaning It's just another sound to you [Bridge] And [?] might stop writing It might keep you [?] crying [?] [Chorus] You will be there for the road ahead Whether you want to be or not You don't want to go out and break your neck But it might be the only move you got It's all you got [Verse 2] I think I was rounding up when I said you had my full attention But I need you to like me, because someday I might need your protection I feel like it's past-life regression that makes me care so much But every day I strive to find another way to get through this stuff I bought a Buddy Holly fake book and thought I'd learn how to play guitar 'Cause I thought someday we'd make some sense of this and go far, like you said Look what happened, the money changed Kanye, but Kanye changed the money And now we're all striving for a fame just to feel something [Bridge] And [?] might stop writing It might keep you [?] crying [?] [Chorus] You will be there for the road ahead Whether you want to be or not You don't want to go out and break your neck But it might be the only move you got It's all you got

[@jvc541]

[@jvc541]

4:13 Everyone usually passes by the church cause Henderson is a busy street. Now though.. listening to that part made me look at it as more than just a regular tree. It’s Cam’s happiness, but to thousands it’s nothing.

[@elizabethstephen6534]

The auto tune took away from the impact for me but it still had a beautiful and heartbreakingly relatable message as always

[@ManTheRampartsBaby]

While I do dig this new atmospheric Lowfi/ bedroom pop/ spoken word vibe from em. I wish the auto tune had been handled a little more sparingly at times. I’m hoping this will in hindsight be a stepping stone record for a better mixed, paced and balanced record in the future. I enjoyed it overall, definitely see potential for them in this style.

[@idkanymore3382]

Hello Cameron, I was listening to Just How I Feel, Pt. 2 and found one of your lyrics to be hurtful to your message in what you were trying to convey. I just want to say before I go into this, I really enjoy your album here and have been listening to you since I was in high school. Your music helped me question my trauma I experienced through my life. Wbile listening you said something malicious against another for their own accomplishments I was thrown back and it made me question what was going through your head during the writing phase. Not wanting to listen to, or give praise to someone just because they are of a skin color isn't right. I may not enjoy Eminem, or even Ed's music but the last thing on my mind was worrying the ramifications of their skin tone. I find this politically divided and race segregated world is all thanks to this kind of mindset. Why not treat people with respect or be courteous to them regardless of their skin color and when they achieve something great or special we dont look at their skin tones, the lands they were born in, or the situation of their financial state. When achieving something their skin has nothing to do with it. It is time to stop attacking, belittling, and turning down the accomplishments of others just because someone with the same patch of skin did something abhorrent. We look at the man and we judge his character. The skin is only an excuse. Have a good day Cam, please don't get political with your music. I think when people want to sink into an emotional track the last thing they want is stress they have nothing to do with or control. You do your best when its on the human experience. thanks.

[@deadflowers5897]

I love hotel books. The previous albums are great. But I’m not sure how I feel about this album. To me, it kind of sounds like someone trying to be a sound cloud rapper. It’s only my first time listening to it, so I’m going to continue to listen and see if it grows on me. But as of right now, not really liking it. The lyrics are bomb, but the music is appealing to me.
