Loveliness Made Damned (2024)

People think of love, and they think of endless sunlight and flowers in full bloom. But love isn't a painting, or a moment, or a season -- love is more like a garden. It blooms and it withers, no matter how hard you try to take care of it. Loveliness Made Damned is a visual album spanning four musical works, each a part of the same budding story. A story of love, loss, and fighting your way out of the woods. A personal documentation of all the little cracks that start to form before the break. It's the euphoria of a good day that you think will save everything, the desperation of a bad day that you know will shake you awake, and the gray areas in between: the loaded silences, holding each other because it's too hard to let go, and trying your best to make something out of a dwindling supply of nothing. "A Letter (Overture)" quotes a journal entry comparing love to a garden, and the warning that love requires constant care. "A Garden" grasps at the hope for spring after a long winter. "A Prayer (Interlude)" is a moment of rest. A moment for small prayers: sitting with a lover at a piano, waving the white flag, holding each other and breathing. A pause. And finally, "A Ghost": A study on longing, waiting, and haunting.
