It's "Pursue happiness with diligence"
Finishing on yet another deeply personal and emotional note 'The Sparrow' is dedicated to the wife of the band's accountant, who recently passed away from stomach cancer; the song's only lyrics "pursue happiness, with diligence" were her motto.
I actually know what this song about because it was written for my aunt. My uncle is the accountant for Mastodon. His wife (my aunt) unfortunately passed away from stomach cancer in 2011. Her life motto was "Pursue happiness diligently" and it was the message she passed along to me and everyone else in our family. Not long after she passed away, they wrote this song for her, changing the words to "Pursue happiness with diligence" to better fit the music. I use this song to remember her and I'm really happy her message can be passed along to the rest of the world.
Beautiful yet somber song. Feels almost Pink Floyd-ish to me.
I actually think of these guys as the Pink Floyd of Metal
I actually think of these guys as the Pink Floyd of Metal
Is it just me or is this like a part two to the hunter?
This song is about pursuing happiness, with utmost diligence.
