Cover art for Broken Horse lyrics by Freelance Whales

the individual images make some sense but i can't put it all together and form one meaning

from what i understand of the concept behind the album, most of the interactions take place in dreams. it's a love story between a boy and a ghost, that he has either created or possibly actually exists. at any rate, if he is interacting with his love in his dreams it makes sense that the lyrics wouldn't always make linear sense...

so maybe try listing to the album when you're in a liminal state between sleep and consciousness and you can only process one image at a time and then it makes perfect sense. or at least it seemed to for me. this song was profoundly, albeit illogically, tragic. what with all the trouble in the eyes and returning to dirt and sprinting away etc.

Ok, so I've listened to this whole ablum about 10 times through and through in the past 5 days or so, and one of the times I was asleep.

And I had a dream that a small girl's ghost was haunting me, and playing all of the songs on the album. It was rather scary, until I woke up and realized it was just because I fell asleep with my headphones on.

but at the time, I had no prior knowledge of the concept about the boy being in love with a ghost. I love Freelance Whales <3
