‘Ruminations' is one of Conor Oberst's most personal records - and it was a surprise, even for its creator. He didn't intend to make an album - he was trying to recover from exhaustion after he was rattled by a health scare, a cyst on his brain. But when he left New York, N.Y., and moved back to his hometown of Omaha, Neb., the songs started coming. He recorded ‘Ruminations' on piano, guitar and harmonica in 48 hours during the winter after he moved home. The result is a collection of brave, dark songs that confront Oberst's thoughts during that time head-on.

Mine as well! Not sure why really. Now I am fascinated with Frank Lloyd Wright architecture as well. Found out one of the only buildings of his left standing in Canada is on a little known island near my home town of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Every time I think I can nail down my favorite Conor Song, “lyrically”, he comes out with another absolute mind blower and then I’m at square one again 🤷🏻♂️

There is so much emotion when you hear this. Such a sad story, of one the greatest architects America ever produced.

Many Frank Lloyd Wright houses/structures look like Mayan temples. I believe he had in mind that after this civilization is over, someone will come up on a Wright building, totally gutted but the concrete frame, carved Mayan designs, and covered in vines like something out of Indiana Jones... they'll wonder who built it and why. I believe likewise thats what Conor had in mind when he says "sacred till the end". This song makes me think of what footprint ill leave behind.
