The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 271

I have bad anxiety about these things sometimes, Casey!!

 

I literally was about to make my avatar HLNPIT today.. No Lie haha.

 

if you ask nicely maybe i can help a bit i won't even put a booking company name on it like the dork @US Camera does
:)

 

What do you want me to do, like walk on your back or something

 

we'll discuss the arrangements of this backwalking for january 6th

 

here... we.. go..

 

fuuuck. should I just delete it?

 

might be for the best/delete or edit ha

 

haha done. thought I was just making an observation and completely forgot about it *face palm*

 

@cwhit you are right they still mess up a few times per show, but their time is a little better now, and vocally Christian keeps getting cleaner. Also I really prefer them actually playing the interludes rather than just hitting play on a recording. I mean I don't go see the hotelier to see conservatory level musicianship I just go for an emotional release and it was pretty great.

 

I just started listening to that album while I work, but now I feel like i should switch over to that video instead. The crowd is so great in that video especially in "An Introduction..." when they all scream "FUCK!"

 

housebroken stuff don't bother

 

Can’t wait for the Vera show in Seattle. Kinda sad they’re opening at the same place they headlined last time here but oh well it’s a dope space.

That is all

 

8:20ish, Christian mentions he is in another band now?

 

doomy cartoon music, sounds cool.

 

Anyone know what this album is about? Death of a grandmother?

 

it's an epic quest about a guy going through 283 pages of forum posts in order to discover the deep meaning of a work of art

 

My grandmom died before it was released so I always grouped it with the death of an elderly person and the life cycle

 

To me it’s both about the realization that you deserve love, and that your loved ones will pass. Basically—allow love in and keep it safe. Along with other subtext about nature and the moon and growing past your grief.

 

this album is about the moon 100%, even “sun”

 

It's clearly a concept album about a nudist colony.

 

Especially sun

 

what about rain, it doesn't rain on the moon

or does it

 

I posed the question because last night was the first time I'd read along to the lyrics while tearing up. Especially during "Soft Animal". Christian is a phenomenal lyricist and I think Goodness has more metaphor than HLNPIT did.

 

ur damn right it does
