no suggestions? :(

this album has this rly haunting vibe throughout it, definitely worth a listen if you're in the mood to get real sad
Carson Parker
It's a little bit edgy, but acid ghost is pretty depressing. More for a teen edge mood in this album, but others are better.

especially effective for those who anticipate metempsychosis to follow their death, and who've already conceived of and became to some degree intimate with the being to which they intend to supply their soul
from this perspective, barring Promise of Water, each song is either enjoining the listener to adopt this belief or is a reassurance thereof; but all rather explicitly suppose and lament the inutility of our sublunary affairs, or even advocate that the auditor dismiss them because of this
themes include: relinquishing personal grudges, worldly concerns, individuality, attachment to one's past; the irrevocability of actions; resignedness to and disregard for one's death, the consequences of one's actions, one's existence; etc.
I imagine that this could substantially strengthen the resolution of anyone intending to commit suicide. It's certainly Gira's best creation

My intention was not to dispute that it's a happy album: Gira was delighted, exuberant to possess so little regard for the world during the composition of these songs, and with that an assured sense of his place therein; but many would find the perspectives informing these songs to be degrading or existentially confusing. To derogate my own authority and self-direction, and for this sacrifice to receive unquestionable divine instruction, would be absolutely desirable to me, regardless of what say soever I have in the matter; wherefore I'm inclined to agree with you. But this helplessness and general incapacity are equally applicable to an experience that may lead towards suicide: the unwilling subjection of one's livelihood to factors outside of the individuals control.
You may, however, have misapprehended the lyrical content of the songs. He expresses gratitude for his transience, in lifespan and in what concern he holds for things (as in The Man We Left Behind, Good Bye Mary Lou, The Visitor); recognizes without resentment that he is being physically replaced and deprived of internal sovereignty by ideas (as in My Brother's Man, Sunflower's Here to Stay); professes his own insignificance, both to the world and himself, his will being subordinate to universal and personal external influences, and to the benevolent but irresistible effects of Joseph (as in Black River Song, Not Here/Not Now, Joseph's Song, We Are Him); and has diffused throughout the album the theme--pervasive such that naming specific instances seems unnecessary--of submission to a higher, unintelligible entity or ideal, relying generally upon symbol and unemphasized analogy.

Should these concepts be introduced to the suicidal man's worldview, perforce they'd reveal to him that reservations held for his course of action were misguided: what displeases him or contrarily compels him to persist in life are both valueless trifles, to be forgotten or divested of his interest during life; their individuality is hardly significant to their destiny and the functional capacity of themselves, still less to the world; and, this being perhaps the strongest assurance listed heretofore, that incomprehensible or supernatural things interact with and care for them, consider them obliged to quit the world, and will preserve the dead man's essence through incorporation or reincarnation. However odd such a literal expression renders the last statement, recall that the acceptance of these principles requires active interpretation. Metaphors deployed in the album are typically commensurable with the convictions and superstitions specific to the interpreter.
