lol what? why is it irritating? just a nice piano song with uplifting melodies
also how is Holyfields one of the top 3 here, it's like hardly even a song. If there's any song that comes and goes without any memorable hook, it's that one...

I love the muted percussion in Holyfields and the way it builds to one of the most unique falsetto cuts by Vernon on the whole album. U sounds like he's trying to sooo hard to make a soul jam, and it's laughable. Everything about it is an enormous cliche. It might be my least favorite thing he's ever done. I left it entirely off of my re-ordered tracklist.

this whole thing will soon emerge as a performance art piece, about how for emma forever ago really was forever ago.

Yeah I really don't get the U hate. Lovely piano melody, one of the most memorable songs here imo

The baby shark song is also memorable
But in all seriousness it sounds like he's trying to remake "Lean On Me" and just ugh

First 5 Cups and now this? Sowing my friend... What are you going to tell me next? Colouring of Pigeons is the weakest track on Tomorrow, in a Year? fin. is the worst song on Cities? Sorrow is the worst song on High Violet? Vampire on My Fridge is the worst song on 0? When will this foolishness cease!?

Fin. is one of the greatest songs of all time however, and Sorrow - while far from the best on HV - is superb indeed.
Forgiven?

I am getting the "hollow" vibe of this as mentioned earlier. Could be my current mood, though. I see the potential in it. Going to have to spin this a few times.

A sunnier, less coherent '22, A Million'; flaws and all.

I like 22, A Million a damn lot. This one, idk. It could open up with time.

"It could open up with time."
If only the album itself had more time.
Seriously, these short track lengths aren't doing any favors. I think it's telling that a lot of the agreed-upon highlights are the songs that stretch out over a decent duration. One of my biggest gripes is that, if Vernon fleshed out more of his ideas here, there might be something special. Instead, what we get our fleeting glimpses at a potential that's being squandered.
Of course this could all be part of 'the point' of this record--to be brief, having these existential moments flicker in and out or some theme to that effect--but the presentation falls flat.

Very keen. If that's what he's doing, I could appreciate that. It does kind of wisp in and out of existence.

I've no intention of searching for anything more in this album, if I spin it again I might get a headache.

"Justin Vernon wants to confuse and disarm your higher thinking so his music will go straight to the heart, which is the place from where he wants you to hear it." Yeah, it's not working. I just want to slap him silly.

Damn Sowing, Five Cups is like a top 3 track on Nearer My God.
I’m really enjoying this album, but the flow from track-to-track feels...”off” to me for some reason.
