I feel as though every song on this album is my favorite, and "Eulogy" is a strong contender. The electronics and the clapping sound are just so catchy, so f******g great, and then immediately that dark image from your dream, of your own death. The poignancy of mortality and the heartbreak of unreciprocated greatness are shattering. "You can't kill a dream but you can break it." I kind of stilled in that thought, contemplating the extraordinary and exhaustive output of your genius for thirty years, a faith utterly kept, and for a time allowed myself truly to experience the suffering beneath and around it, something I know myself with a true and living empathy. And yet in your usual indomitable spirit, that is itself no doubt the very capacity that has compelled you ever onward through all these years with your muse at all costs no matter what, a devotion that becomes transformative and creational, you move past that mortal preoccupation to answer your own concerns with a profound spiritual and poetic understanding of a deeper kind of immortality and a ringing call to the immediacy of this living moment, all the while in a medium whose own visceral compulsion implicitly makes the case, ending the song on a sudden note that is itself like death. As an artist, you just keep giving, giving this ever more rarefied gift, to the point of grace. - Ethan
