The vocals has something of Dead Can Dance, the sound start with a sophisticated electronic style then gradually became a mix of classical instruments and electrónica. A masterpiece.

Album of the year for sure. Wonderful songs by someone who can actually sing. Although the electronic backings of some of the songs is cold, that voice is very warm. The whole has an underlying sense of sadness and loss, but not in an alienating way at all. Whoever broke this big man's heart wants his arse kicked. Very sad to have heard of John's recent diagnosis - but these days, it doesn't mean the end of the road.
You're a star, sir!

Something keeps drawing me back to this song……. the ambiguity, the mystery….. the infectious rhythm.

The orchestral part is a quote from the b section of Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp MInor. Brilliant!

I’m just a simple hetro guy but I totally love John Grants mind. Complex, witty, deep, self effacing, cryptic, amazing, beautiful. Thank you John for hours of wonder...and learning.

The world needs more dark and brooding synth pop like this, introspective and alluring, and totally of himself, there's not another artist like John Grant imo

One last message that I hope he may read someday. Not very likely though as he’s a private person I feel. I can resonate with his music and what little I know of his home life and struggles in his personal life….i can relate. Not exactly the same as his, but just as meaningful and difficult. I hope for only happiness for him going forward and look forward to hearing more music to come. I only wish I could see him perform someday. Believe it or not I found him from a movie I love and subsequently found a wonderful artist that I absolutely love! 😊

John Grant, I know you are my soul mate, and we will probably never meet. It breaks my heart, but at least I have your beautiful music forever. Thank you, again.

I too saw Mr. Grant on the Jools Holland show last weekend and was blown away with his performances. Great!!

Were you there? Trax Club. Denver. Early 80's. "Driving on the road at night and the radio broadcasting the ocean." YES. Chinook winds. YES. Pale green ghosts -- trees. YES. Thank God you are ALIVE...to make this music. And Parker. Beyond words. I don't think anyone can truly understand the "oppression" (doesn't describe it). Oh God this song is so f* healing. I never ever ever thought something this beautiful would come from that time and place. Oh THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !! THANK YOU !!

Thank you Shazam for helping me find this song. I work in a starbucks and it always comes on in our playlist and it feels like a heist or something is about to kick off

For those that haven't please check out the Czars albums... All good but especially 'the ugly people versus the beautiful people'...John's vocals are wonderful and the Czars are actually a very good band!

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!

The ghosts say “hi”, John ❤️
