@User12261990 lol there's a reason the Inuit were the first to invent them!

Kendrick, Hozier, half alive, Aurora, Stromae, or Raye. It would be awesome to see him leaning more into international collabs on his tracks like he did with Burna Boy too

Yes, that one hit hard for me. I've had 2 grandparents with dementia in my family so it was a topic that was close to home. This was my comment on the video when it first came out: "I originally thought that it would have been better if the song had cut after the first act, but I think the next section where it switches from somber to joyful is supposed to represent the entry into Heaven as his grandma passes into glory. That links in with the line elsewhere in the album (adult swim?) where it says "welcome to glory sound prep", and hearing it for the first time, I thought that the line was going to just end as "welcome to glory" aka Heaven. If that is the idea for the middle part of this song, then it makes sense for the triumphant horns to be present, as he imagines his grandma in Heaven where she has overcome her struggles and she is restored. Still trying to figure out the last part, but it may be focusing again back on Earth with those left behind after her death. They are dealing with the pain of her loss, but are glad that she has been released from her illness; they are working through their grief, and are hopeful for the future. The conclusion is wistful and poignant, like someone who has gone through a trial and is still tender but is moving forward."

@User12261990 HEAVILY agree on this. I'd prioritize versatility/practicality and quality materials in any merch I'd consider buying and giant logos to me are not what I would want to wear in a regular outfit. What about items printed with the music scores of certain songs? In terms of items, it would be also be nice to have more options specifically geared to women outside of the standard shirts/hats in merch stores.. maybe necklaces, hair accessories, tote bags, socks, phone cases, stickers, notebooks, slippers, cardigan sweaters, etc.? Imo, leaning into subtlety and timelessness might appeal to more people being able to wear/use the items on a daily basis

@User12261990 Any pieces in the works that are more subtle that only people in the know would connect to your music? I don't usually go for generic graphic tees or hats, but would be interested in merch (women's) if it was generally well designed/good quality and would work in a regular fit stylistically without being too heavy on the branding.

@Abbs I'm in Atlantic Canada.. would be strategic location to have a concert here, like in NB to have all the Maritimers and upper New Englanders be able to come! Hate how we always get overlooked for tours

@imjustec Anywhere in Atlantic Canada really, but particularly Moncton, NB since that would be central for all the Maritimers as well as Mainers. We always get overlooked for tours!

@User12261990 I'd agree with the lyric breakdown requests. I had a lot of thoughts particularly when I first heard Mah's Joint, not only about the lyrics (as someone with Alzheimer's in the family) but also the general vibe of the different sections of the song and would love to hear more about the intentionality of musical and lyrical choices in songs.

It is great to hear all the effort you've put into actually connecting to the people that appreciate you and what you do instead of making it about the business and marketing of the music world. So excited to hear there's new music on the way! I have loved the deeper meanings in your lyrics and admire how much you incorporate your faith in your work. I would love to see you appear live, if there would only be a chance that you were coming to Atlantic Canada (we always get overlooked for tours)! Would be amazing to have a chance to jam out in a group like Cove City! (any possibility of making music with fan submissions?)
