I downloaded this album for a lake trip on accident. Ended up coming on while driving deep into the national forest to my buddy's cabin. All my friends instantly vibed with it. We ended up listening to this album the whole trip and now when I hear this album, I get instant flashbacks to catching trout, going up mountains with ATVs, swimming in the lake, nice summer breeze by the fire, etc.

Agreed, this album has gotten me through my shit life for a year now. Everyday, right before walking my ass to work the headphones go on and I take a breath before lighting up the ritual cig. Keep up the beautiful work boss.

I'm notoriously picky with my music. It is exceedingly rare that I'll like more than a couple of songs on any given album. I like basically every song in this album and Nematophy.

"Are you sad enough?" is simply a masterpiece. It touches the soul in a way few songs do.

[@PaleozoicProductions]

I can confirm that this is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Every track is a banger.

[@basketcaseface813]

Are you sad enough? Lyrics: Ceiling of a room and the echo of your voice As a wave in the wind. I'm calling the void And I'm still hearing sounds where theres no sounds at all... When you're sad Tears aren't enough Days aren't enough And time never stops All your efforts are ignored When you're sad Rest isn't enough Beauty isn't enough Walking empty streets with your face in my mind. Plus everynight I dream of weird sights, I can hear whispers inside. When you're sad Tears aren't enough Days aren't enough And time never stops All your efforts are ignored When you're sad Rest isn't enough Beauty isn't enough

[@thatblix]

What are the lyrics at the beginning of the song? Where it says "Are you sad enough?"

[@Yuka_Tanga]

At the beginning I'm just hearing, Marcelo Marcelo, es tímido, es tímido, perdónalo, perdónalo.

[@squishyblanket]

@@thatblix It's from the song "I can prove it", written by Tony Etoria and covered by Phil Fearon. You can hear it pretty clearly in the opening of the Phil Fearon cover, but only the full album version has that opening. Only the first half is sampled in "Are you sad enough?" though. Lyrics: Have you had enough Are you sad enough Have you dreamed enough Have you schemed enough Have you thought enough Have you fought enough Are you in despair Sick and tired of love Did you see enough Were you free enough Were you high enough In the sky above Have you sighed enough Have you cried enough Are you in despair Sick and tired of love You're welcome. :)

Can't believe how much underrated this album is in the synth/vaporwave community. Brilliant stuff. Pumped me up to work on my own music lol

[@andrew2393]

Are you sad enough is like a song that can describe someone being lonely and realizing they have no friends or it gives a spiritual experience as an observant looking into the long depths of depression.

[@flouglemireindustries4335]

I think they're more the thoughts of a lonely person intertwined with the concerns and lack of help that other people provide

[@SunsetGraffiti]

The synth on that first track is tearing me apart.

Fear entwined, I'm sorry i can talk (?) Sometimes it seems, pointless My head hits off the wall No peace, no love (?), no reason for it at all Fighting losing battles, I came out a wretch I think about my future, a future I cant see Illusions living, I cant face reality I knock down, symptoms that create a fantasies My days go by, my goal, my future, my life I look in the mirror and lie, I'm a waste, a waste of time Fear entwined, I'm sorry i can talk (?)
