I've listened to this a lot and a four is probably stretching it, but, it's sputnik, come on.

like you may have, but you just rated it and like i've noticed that a lot of your new ratings come from albums that have just had reviews on the front page. idk austin sorry to question you on this, but you seem to just throw ratings a little too haphazardly a lot of the time, like a lot each day, which many seem to also be based on the popular opinion i've noticed.

eh I'm too lazy to use the search function most of the time unless I'm on a total binge for that artist.

I think it's about a love gone sour - you can tell from the lyrics that he's reminiscing about better times with said person and that in the end he couldn't love her back, and as a result he feels guilty and conflicted:



"Can't count to

All the lovers I've burned through

So why do I still burn for you

I can't say"



And this makes it pretty obvious that the person he's referencing has died



"Sorry that

I could never love you back

I could never care enough

In these last days"

The dreams I had, yeah, I kept, but I wouldn't dare share with you for fear of things still living in me.

I'm still going to be listening to this album in 10-20 years from now. Timeless classic.
