âIn life, we grow up and we encounter the nuanced complexities of trying to figure out who to be, how to act, or how to be happy. Like invisible smoke in the room, we wonder what kind of anxiety pushes you forward and what kind ruins your ability to find joy in your life. We constantly question our choices, our surroundings, and we beat ourselves up for mistakes. All the while, we crave romance. We long for those rare, enchanting moments when things just fall into place. Above all else, we really, really want our lives to be filled with love. Iâve decided that in this life, I want to be defined by the things I love â not the things I hate, the things Iâm afraid of, or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night. Those things may be my struggles, but theyâre not my identity. I wish the same for you. May your struggles become inaudible background noise behind the loud, clear voices of those who love and appreciate you. Turn those voices up in the mix in your head. May you take notice of the things in your life that are nice and make you feel safe and maybe even find wonderment in them. May you write down your feelings and reflect on them years later, only to learn that all the trials and tribulations you thought might kill you⌠didnât. I hope that someday you forget that pain ever existed. I hope that if there is a lover in your life, itâs someone who deserves you. If thatâs the case, I hope you treat them with care. This album is a love letter to love itself â all the captivating, spellbinding, maddening, devastating red, blue, gray, golden aspects of it (thatâs why there are so many songs). In honor of fever dreams, bad bad boys, confessions of love on a drunken night out, Christmas lights still hanging in January, guitar string scars on my hands, false gods and blind faith, memories of jumping into an icy outdoor pool, creaks in floorboards and ultraviolet morning light, finally finding a friend, and opening the curtains to see the clearest, brightest daylight after the darkest night⌠We are what we love. This is lover.â (insp)
