![]() The song “Halloween” begins with another nice series of riffs. We are led out of the song with a strong intensified instrumental passage that complements the intro of the song. Half way through the song is a pretty nice guitar solo played with a lot of feeling. When I am sick I feel like I am nothing, but once I am okay I feel like nothing can hold me back. Maybe these words resonate with my so much because I reflect on my own chronic illness. “You walk with boundless grace” can sound like someone that living at a higher level of being, but then “When the door of life closes / And you were slipping away” almost sounds like someone on the edge of dying. These words can be perceived as having a variety of meanings. The composition shifts around a few times which feels so great to hear. The pace picks up a bit with a nice head bobbing groove. Starting off strong, “Ember City” has a series of pretty gnarly riffs to open the song along with some pretty interesting drums. This song finishes off with the dark and eerie themes that started the song. Not that this is relevant to the actual meaning, but it just reminds me of that. ![]() It reminds me of the saying, “What others think of you is none of your business.” Knowing the opinions of others can sometimes be very demotivating, and sometimes it is best to not know. These words remind me that it really does not matter what people think of you. I specifically like the words, “Envy of others never makes me rich”. The composition shifts a bit and the guitars quickly arpeggiate back and forth. Starting off with dark and eerie slow riffs, “Chimes at Midnight” has this very haunting feel to open up the song. We are led out of the song with riffs that compliment the opening. I enjoy the instrumentals half way through how it shifts from positive sounding riffs to the same thing being played in a key that makes it sound eerie. “Once More ‘Round the Sun” begins with some optimistic sounding riffs joined in with some drums increasing in volume.
