3:15 they used this song in all the ads for the Georgia aquarium performance

[scissors]

All of their new material is transcendent. You really don't hear music like this much anymore. An album of this caliber is really rare.

[MarkArandjus]

Let us take a moment and appreciate the work of Nick John, the band's late manager to whom the album, and this song especially, is dedicated.
In interviews the band says they wouldn't be where they are without him and he worked hard behind the scenes because he believed in them.

RIP, Nick, thank you!

Troys voice is like velvet at this one. Best mixed song yet.

[codykane]

Dirty B. Hinds putting that stank on the solo, as usual. 🤘🤯

[proggydreams]

3:16 mind blowing. I love this part so much. This is definitely one of the gems of the album

[Southern_Trendkill]

Mastodon with another amazing album added to their catalog. Once in a lifetime band.

[michaelrestle]

This is back to Crack The Skye level. Even beyond. The vocal melody in the bridge is so haunting. This is it.

Liked that synth sound, reminded me of Pink Floyd's - Welcome to the machine.

[Verse]
You Reached Two Hands Outward
Two Birds Spreading Our Wings
Today's Arms Turn Numb
When I Turn It Inward
We Live And Breathe
All Your Thousand Words
Now You Sleep
We'll Finish Your Work
[Chorus]
To My Detriment
To My Detriment
To My Detriment
(I Forge Ahead Unscarred)
To My Detriment
[Verse]
You Painted Us With Effort
Always Praising Us High
The Day Has Come To Face The Storm
As Lightning Strikes Me In Two
We Live The Dream Onward As It Were
Endless Days We'll Carry On As One
There's No Doubt Of What We're Herе To Do
You Laid It Out
A Promise Of Yourself
[Chorus]
To My Detrimеnt
To My Detriment
(I Forge Ahead Unscarred)
To My Detriment
(I Forge Ahead Unscarred)
To My Detriment
To My Detriment
(I Forge Ahead Unscarred)
To My Detriment
(I Forge Ahead Unscarred)
To My Detriment
(I Forge Ahead Unscarred)
To My Detriment

I'm on my lunch break on my own in the staff room. I hope nobody comes in because my eyes are welling up. Wow this band gets better all the time. Stunning work

[VSdrummer]

Brann's backup vocals in the chorus are masterful. Beautifully haunting. The level of talent, musicianship, and songwriting ability between these four dudes is unfathomable.

RIP Nick

[jleighwolfe]

This album is dynamic and mature. Love this evolution of the band. Little bit of everything masterfully woven together

[AlfonsoDGOfficial]

'Skeleton Of Splendor' is a brilliant song, peaceful and calm, i always love that kind of songs into a Heavy and Crushed album. In love with this new 'Hushed and Grim' record. Again... Great job guys!!!!

[thegnjoy]

this song going into teardrinker is so perfect

[positivelastaction]

This album takes me somewhere really special every time I listen. It's a masterpiece.

[Scutigera]

Если говорить об альбоме в целом: господа, вы создали шедевр.

[pecannny]

3:15 oh I finally found the part that I heard in the ad for the Atlanta aquarium concert!! Lol

[SpaghettiWithMeatSauce]

You really owe it to yourselves to hear this song live. It is absolutely massive and an incredibly spiritual experience.

[kayleebaginski]

I can't get over that keyboard lead in the bridge. It's really mind numbing and reminds me a lot of Pink Floyd's Animals album. It really makes Mastodon great.
