11:11 and 22:22 were inspired by the loss of my grandfather, a person I looked up to for most of my life. I would visit him for most of his final months, but it never felt enough. There was still so much more I wanted to say and to share with him. There is never enough time.
lyrics
pictures of you are painted so clearly
old days, lost glories, shared moments I would never trade
I find myself looking back on those times
not wanting to say goodbye or end our history
and I’ll keep counting the clocks
just counting our time apart
and I’ll keep wishing
just wishing that separation didn’t have to hurt
I hope I can always hold onto those times
wake me, I miss everything
please wake me up, I want to remember everything

There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723
One of the best post-hc that I've ever heard, this stuff drills deep. Heart-grating album, full of bona fide cleansing fire. Spectre of sweet painful feelings that these guys adduce are so sincere, so genuine. Musicianship is awesome, plenty of little tricks and details going on all the time. Catharsis is the only word for this masterpiece. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
