then i shall know fully, even as i am fully known

(i am but a humble sportswriter. i don’t know anything about art. will toledo do not flame this post)

the biblical passages that close out famous prophets (minds) and famous prophets (stars) are vital moments in the twin fantasies: these are the final thoughts the narrator leaves us with before he wakes up from/ends the fantasy, when he steps outside and looks at the sun for the first time in memory. these verses sum up the story. they are what the narrator, and we, are taking from the way the fantasy unfolded; the language of the bible lends a certain universality and cosmic importance to the story we have just been told; and, importantly, will changes the last line of each, making the final thought of the fantasy his own, turning back at the last moment to the personal and specific. 

these are all similarities in the function these verses serve on their respective albums, but, obviously, mirror to mirror and face to face are not quite the same story – they are inversions of each other, they cannot exist without each other, they complicate and fulfill each other – and the verses chosen reflect that. under the cut i’m going to talk about why the context and content and the final alteration made to each of these verses feels so interesting and important to me

OKAY I’m doing a giveaway for this because my dorky mom got it signed at the easy street records gig and I have no use for it. Rules: there are no rules, I’ve never done a giveaway before, I don’t know how this works. It’s bent because my mom was carrying it around and then it was in my car. I’ll try to flatten it. Likes don’t count, I don’t know why. I’ll pick a winner on February 29th. GOOD LUCK ❤️❤️❤️ @haimandthequeeens
