Dar is really good at telling stories in song so I purposely threw a few of those into this one:

all the bright people
1. Mercy of the Fallen
2. The Easy Way
3. Liar
4. I Love, I Love (Traveling II)
5. When I Was a Boy
6. I Saw a Bird Fly Away
7. Holly Tree
8. February
9. After All
10. Another Mystery

The album is available through iTunes and also on Amazon and probably at ~*your local record store*~.

Thank you, I love you, I am going to buy it off Amazon because I want to hold it and touch it and cuddle it and keep it forever. And also play it incessantly in my car until I've memorized the whole thing.

AND THANK YOU omg I love After All. It's like. I have such emotions about that song.

Can we talk about how awesome the whole thing is but especially I Have Been Around the World and The Light and the Sea and Summer Child. But mostly all of it. OMG.

I am so pleased with this album except for one thing. The "sacred" "naked" rhyme bugs me every time, and I otherwise love that song.

Ooh, ooh, make me a mix! I'm pretty sure I can name, like ... four Dar songs. So.

:D :D :D
Done and done! Except that was only one thing, so I don't know what I said "done" twice.

vital crazy thoughts
1. End of the Summer
2. I'll Miss You Til I Meet You
3. Spring Street
4. Buzzer
5. Road Buddy
6. The Hudson
7. It's Alright
8. Farewell to the Old Me
9. You Rise and Meet the Day
10. Arrival

(Also, you might be interested in ashes to ashes, but always the ocean, which is a Charles/Erik Dar mix I made a few months ago, with accompanying fic)

I am ridiculously excited to get my hands on this album.

I didn't know you could stream it; I know what I'll be doing EVERY SINGLE DAY UNTIL I GET IT.

I know "Beautiful Enemy" & I appreciate anyone who can work the word "hegemony" into a song, but I could use some more being educated, definitely! A concept album about Greek Mythology sounds super great, actually.
