The Gates. The introduction, The beginning, The Entrance to the theme park that is the Spirit world Field Guide. It's no mistake this is the first track aside from the introduction. Meant to set the tone of mysticism and exploration, the gearing up, the first steps.

my favorite passage: "My dream home has like ten thousand deadbolts and less than no windows I mean, shit" Relates to me so much, especially when I'm out trying to make my own way through the world. The first steps of a journey are so difficult, making you want to just shut yourself in a hole just so you can finally breathe easy. But the journey is necessary, and we make it anyway.
