Not too surprising for a couple of reasons: not much else to do around Moose Jaw; and, he's talented AF (he recorded all the parts for this track them laid them down himself). Respect.

This song is burned into my mind. “Just a shaking hand without a concrete plan” - feels like you’re on the cusp of taking over the world without the decisiveness. It’s in all of us who are desperate to break the shackles. I’ve got what it takes to be a trivia host, but I’m terrified of being a real person. We are all the same people

I feel this tune is about how as humans we live a life of constant improvisation in all aspects, in the first line (do you find it gets easier each time you make it disappear?) It could be relationships with people, like it gets easier to watch people walk away after it's happened so many times, as well as the lines saying the magician is the one who sweats the most as he sees his options disappear, we run out of choices in life so we become desperate to find what we want from it but in the end we're all just a shaking hand without a concrete plan, in other words an abstract idea trying to understand itself

@irenemarina9576 3 жыл бұрын

@stereoreservoir 3 жыл бұрын

That's a great take! its important to remember your identity is not married to these relationships; you are your own individual self, however much your life dynamics change, whether it be relationships, jobs, habbits , places of living, appearance, ect. you are still the same person the whole time. To roughly paraphrase George Watsky: People only add to who they are over time .Every thing is the same at its core nothings changed only more than before. maybe im overthinking this a bit though... 🥴

I remember walking around this big cold empty unfamiliar building at midnight listening to this album, it was a very interesting time.
