there is so much to say about how this album inspired me over and over, in many different points of my life, and got me through those awkward teen years, and how the band inspired me to create music myself, but in effort to keep this comment short enough for one web page i just want to say thank you gavin. for being there with the perfect song for every moment in a time when the world made no sense whatsoever. and thank you for continuously making music that seems to trap souls in a world of bliss throughout the durration of each song, and makes us never "want to comedown from this cloud" your music will be played at every major moment in my life, from my wedding to my funeral. thank you. and keep it up man. you are great.
It's a real shit registering for any website. Not my mojito and all but had to do the pilgrimage for 16Stone... its like lipstick on Jim in Pere la Chaise -kitsch you secretly love. So, with this kiss I thank or blame :) this album for music therapy at 14. Or maybe just for the language to define the turbulence of life. What in the world was I doing listening to this back then:) It still feels so mysterious today at 28... It's poetry still feels so new and golden. I appreciate the talent he has for composing intelligent ,poetic lyrics!! Thank G-d! My brain would've been numb by now....I want more. Bisous. x
Was just about 11 when this came out. Fell in love with it immediately. Was and still is amazing...just like the rest of your work.
this album without a doubt is the most played in my cd player, not just of gavin's stuff but of every cd i own.
this is what started it all for a lot of us! so much shit has happened since that album was new.
