It's another great record Nate, but I guess the film itself has made the music that much better/moving I suppose.
The song "You Were Never Alone" has absolutely crushed me over the last couple of days, because there is a scene in the film that shows the main character go through an array of emotions finally seeing her father again.
I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to that song without thinking of that part in the film. It had me in tears in the theater the other night, and it was again yesterday when I was listening to it at work.
I'm not sure if everyone can see this, or just those who pledged to the Campaign, but Craig Minowa wrote a whole thing about it and the clip is shared on the update/page.
https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/cloudcult/updates/65197"We’re coming up on the grand finale of our film and album “The Seeker”. As of today, our All Access Pass members now have the full album. Next week, February 12, on the date the album hits record stores, you, our All Access Pass members will also see the final chapter of the film. Thank you for being on this journey with us!
It’s no coincidence that February 12 is not only the release date of the new album “The Seeker”, it would also have been the 16th birthday of our son, Kaidin. We spent a lot of years going through the various stages of the grieving process: There were what we call “the black years” when it was so bad we can’t even remember portions of it. There were the years of gradually climbing up from the bottom and reassembling our broken hearts together. And ultimately, we were able to rebuild to a point where we were overjoyed to get the chance to be parents again. There is an extreme amount of gratitude for what we have now, and we take every chance we can get to count our blessings.
Tragedy, even from this kind of distance, has the unexpected side effect of creating a constant reminder of the preciousness of the present moment, simply because you’re overtly aware of how quickly and unexpectedly things can change. While at once wishing we could travel back in time and hold our boy again, we suck the marrow out of the moments of being able to hug our beautiful kids now. The only thing you are guaranteed is right now.
Speaking of “right now”, let’s take a look at this week’s chapter of “The Seeker”: Einstein proved that space is curved. The universe is not flat, but is an expanding sphere, like a balloon. Physics has also shown us that at the level of quantum mechanics, time does not exist. If you had a strong enough telescope to look far enough out into space until you could see the “end” of the universe, and you removed the illusion of time, you would literally see the back of your head. Take the spiritual journey around the entire sphere of the universe, through the farthest reaches of the Great Unknown, and you end up right here, right now.
In this week’s chapter, our heroine, Grace, has endured the ultimate spiritual pilgrimage through the Great Unknown and what she finds in this realm of the timeless metaphysical is…. well, you’ll just have to see for yourself. Just know that although we all take the journey on our own, you never were alone"
