do mean bard or minstrel? bards are a quasi-religious figure associated with druidism. :)

That shot where the camera was following the little girl while she ran was exceptional.

[@AngelicDelight]

I have a similar voice and I KNOW how much work it takes to control. As both a gay and a vocalist, her voice is such a treat.

[@rivkaewinters2974]

YES! She deserves just as much love, her voice is beyond amazing.

[@unnatural6edq]

Joey admitted that he was writing songs for this album while he was working on the Witcher, and that a bit of the Continent might have weaved its way into the music...it certainly did. This sounds like something that could easily be on the soundtrack for the Witcher!! PERFECTION.

[@Kalakeiko]

Agreed! I hope they'll use it one day in the series! This song is way too amazing to not be heard and shared by many others and stay as underrated as it is!

"I've loved you for a hundred years." "Certainly f**king feels like it!" I love both these songs, but this is definitely my favorite line. Marbles is such a sweet song.

[@JesseCuster]

Ain't it though? But not in a sappy, saccharine way. Just in a real, "We've been through fire together and we love each other, warts and all" kinda way.

[@hprotz6600]

I'm a fan of "You're not flawed, darling, you're just little under-rehearsed." Also the ENTIRE chorus...

[@calamityganon3613]

okay but 'now I get to meet you for the first time every single day' hits so hard for no reason at all

[@danih3871]

"oh look dancing children!!" *Gets to that line* "oh no the children"

[@nyancart6246]

The songs they make weave so much casual talk into them, with lines like this one and "He's got so much f**kin hair" in Fair just spinning a song into the casual existence that life is, rather than the perpetual perfection of other love songs.

[@bard.ofchaos]

Imagine going on a walk with your dog and hearing the Marbles harmonies coming from the woods. I'd probably think that I have somehow died and ascended to heaven

Emo but make it medieval This is legit amazing I'm so glad the Witcher exposed me to Joey Batey, their voices are both incredible and the music is so enchanting.

[@bellej2037]

dear lord this band sets something in my soul loose. it's the kind of feral that makes you need to run free and far and scream the lyrics in a dark forest until your throat burns. it's the kind of tender that makes you crave nostalgic conversation with "dear hearts" and loved ones you've spent a happy life with. it's the bittersweet wishing for emotional intimacy when you're laying in bed, staring at the ceiling and longing. it's an awful lot of feelings but damn are they worth experiencing. these guys are awesome.

[@calamityganon3613]

I KNOW RIGHT? this band is why I fell in love with being in love

"And now, even though you’re mad and these memories won’t stay That's okay 'Cause then I get to meet you for the first time every single day" Just this part brings tears to my eyes every time. From personal experience with a close family member, dementia is such a tragic process to witness, and this absolutely pure, loving sentiment is the most positive approach to it despite the inevitable pain.
