Silent Planet | Understanding Love As Loss | Track-By-Track Analysis

[@thebeastlybaker]

This guy genuinely cares about everyone. Need more like him

[@JarodKurlandLovesDjent]

Yea I don't think you get enough of this persona anymore. Cheers to being awesome Garrett.

[@skylarquestionmark]

He was gifted with the vision but cursed to be the witnes

[@joshmclaughlin2488]

Got to meet him and the rest of the band at a show one time. Garrett came right up to me and gave me the hugest hug and we talked for a second and then we all took a picture together. One of the sickest things to ever experience. They are such nice dudes

"Be bold enough to ask someone to describe the colors of the world to you."

[@somethingbeaster]

"I don't have any simple platitudes, but I love you, and maybe someone needs to hear this." I needed to hear that, thank you Garrett, I love you too. Thanks to all of Silent Planet and everyone who ever said "I love you." You saved my life. I will always be grateful, and I hope I'll have the courage to help someone the way that you've helped me. Much love, everyone.

Man, this is so deep. I struggle with depression all the time. And now I know I'm not alone. This band is a beautiful gift God gave us. Garret is such a kind soul.

[@Deschmarquezproducti]

I briefly talked to him at a show in November and he remembered me at a show in June. That was a big deal to me. There is something truly special about Garrett and Silent Planet. I pray that these guys have an impact on the Church. We need it

[@joshmclaughlin2488]

My brother and his wife have seen them several times and he remembers my brother every time they go to a show. I met the band once they are all really cool dudes

[@joshinator609]

I can tell that Garret is a very spiritual person, and I like that. We need more people in this world that see the good in things.

[@Neoyoshi-FFXIV]

I know, i become so moved listening to his words and it gives me a lot of hope in humidity as a whole that people like this can sit down and openingly speak of these things, because it isn't always easy. Love you all. :D

[@ZepyhrLight]

@@Neoyoshi-FFXIV hope in humanity

[@alecdawg11]

I can't even fathom what a ridiculous amount of thought he must put into every one of their songs... It's also amazing how much love he seems to have for everyone. He's a truly inspiring human being. Side note: I think this song is my favorite of theirs.

[@pablobreyes]

The world needs more Silent Planet.

[@jacks.66]

I love how he explains it from the side of not knowing because so many people think it's the press of a button to snap out of being suicidal and depressed and hearing this song the first time wrecked me apart. Hearing Garrett speak about this issue alone has helped me even in my darkest hour. He's such a genuine person and I can't stress how important it is to teach others to become open minded especially on how we should treat other humans no matter of ideas, race, religion, or illnesses. Once we can learn to care for others no matter the situation, we'd be in such a better place. I love you, Garrett, and to all who are watching. Love yourself, and everyone around. I'm sorry if any of you've suffered from any of the disorders mentioned or not in the album. Keep strong and know you're important to me, Garrett, and everyone around you.

[@wafffleproduction]

Thank you..

[@AtlasAvalon]

I got teary eyed watching how he cares about people so much.

[@xxlilith_]

Garrett is such a genuine, beautiful human being.

[@justinfuzzyhat]

Why do you have to make me cry so much Garret. I've been struggling with depression as far back as I can think. I've had a therapist try to help me remember my childhood, but it was so bad that I can't recall much of anything. It's just not there anymore. You won't ever read this but thank you and we love you Garrett. Keep healing people.

[@sebastianviuf]

This song fits the last couple hours perfectly.. Missing you Chester 💔

[@bencensus]

I wish I could like this a million times, this is the kind of video that deserves to go viral Loving and living go hand in hand, and so as Garrett said, I encourage all those who struggle with living to be courageous enough to choose life over death, and all others to be gracious enough to show love everywhere you're planted

[@TheSpencerLevi]

I'm not crying, it's just eye sweat.

[@kf4736]

Saw him preform this song live last night, it made him chock up before and after it, his passion and emotion are incredible!

[@LT_Dangles]

Had the privilege of meeting Garrett a couple times, and along with everything else, I can honestly say he’s the greatest human on this earth

[@toasttoasted3492]

Best singer in the world !!!! So glad we have him here to put these stories for us to listen to. Thank you Garrett & Silent Planet

[@pattarang]

What a beautiful soul.

[@Pesshi86]

dude you're such an inspiration to me. not only as a fellow musician, but a person who deals with depression every day. you're a wonderful person and i'd hope Silent Planet came to Finland someday so i could meet you in person and have a chat with you. cheers and keep doing what you do!

[@BethanyLynn18]

Wow Garrett is so profound. Just listening to him speak gives me the best kind of chills.

[@Soulprison3r]

Silent Garet ,thank you for taking the time to talk about these sensetive topics ,it brings a breath of fresh air when someone goes it to depth about the daily struggles of people suffering from mental ilness ,it really hasn't been getting the attention it deserves

[@predwards8941]

Searching for solace in a toxic temple is one of my favorite lines of any song ever made

[@thebadger8285]

Really needed to hear that today. Thank you.

[@luuwuuke]

Incredible. Love you, garrett.

[@jawharabdelmawlah634]

Garrett Russell is a genius of our time. Thank you so much!

[@Azastrai]

Thank you.. more than you know thank you so much

[@liamnissanS2K]

I found this band in a time in my life that I simply refuse to chalk up to mere coincidence.

[@therev612]

I swear there's never been a time I didn't understand what Garrett was saying. This man gets it. Much love bro. Can't wait for the new album.

[@aaronaltkid]

Thank you Garrett. I wish you could read this. But. This song just hits home.

[@loganwelty7094]

Thank you Silent Planet

[@judewood975]

He is such a good person and the world needs more people like him.

[@yngvardtherotten6612]

I listened for the first time to this beautiful album when I had depression. Since then, this band have been becoming my favorite.

[@stg_tmc]

I love you too, Garrett. Thank you for staying. We need you.

[@lp4966]

Imagine how different this world would be if there more therapists like Garret. I spend thousands and thousands of dollars and most of my life with counselors, therapists, doctors, hospitals, who gave me medications that did nothing and sat me in rooms for the standard 50 minute session. All of it was a waste. The invoked no emotion from me and did not relate to me at all. It wasn't until the moment that I was actually going to take my own life but I looked at my child and realized I had to get help one more time my life changed.

[@zacharybritt9418]

Garrett is one of the most poetic people I’ve ever heard

[@igotthecold]

This is incredible

[@davidcmahone]

Best song on the album

[@dav.187]

David Mahone ikr

[@allenseville1462]

Love you Garrett

[@80hitultracombo]

Namaste, brother.

[@Daantjer]

Underrated band, underrated song. Both lyrics wise as each instrument on the track.

[@christopherjoy2872]

I'm 93.2% sure that Garrett is insane. And I love it.

[@ilikeheavymuzic135]

I'd say he's more enlightened and intelligent. Even if he is insane it's not in a bad way

[@mpk6664]

I'm not religious, but I love his messages.

[@stg_tmc]

mpk 666 same dude

[@chrisjr1247]

thank u

[@TheProgressiveForces]

Love you too brother!!

[@Battlefield3isdabest]

Wish more artists would go in depth about what their songs meant. You can sort of understand a song by reading the lyrics but the real meaning is always hidden in the artists mind. The motive and reasoning for writing the song is what you cant get from reading lyrics

[@seanhazelton1571]

Battlefield3isdabest wish more artists would put that much time and effort into writing a song

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

Battlefield3isdabest agreed

[@chanodom2448]

I feel like he was talking w/ me personally, this guy's fucking great

[@b12-m2u]

I love you too x

[@Ru1Roy]

Where is your Nobel Garret?

[@Mackathne]

Garrett looks like he's playing a giant piano in the thumbnail

[@Terdfertersen]

This resonates

[@predwards8941]

As good as all their stuff is, this song has meant the most to me by far

[@birko985]

It's confusing coz he says he found love in jesus yet they have a shirt that says heal us of our religion...

[@andrewhare5482]

Watch the track analysis for Dying in Circles. He explains it pretty much right at the start of the video.

[@birko985]

Oh sweet yeah cheers, that sums it up.

[@Sethary.]

A therapist. nice

[@danv9778]

What if you don't want to see the color?

[@MediaBoy13]

Comfort in the grey often feels easier when it's your everyday and becomes normal for you. The thought of change and be scary and it can feel strange when you start to see colour since it is not what you're used to. I believe you have to give the colour a change though because you don't know that you don't want to see it when you haven't experienced it in a long time.
