veth: rural inland town in fife or lowland perthshire. somewhere flat/gently hilly and just surrounded by fields. something like kinross, cupar, errol type places. hadnt left much at all before meeting caleb

caleb: also from a rural town. perhaps international student so hes still 'zemnian' lol or just german heritage living there already. dropped out of edinburgh uni and having a shit time of it

jester: lives in edinburgh west end type area between haymarket and stockbridge in one of those giant absurd houses with the 4m high ceilings (imagining that area royal circus in new town also)

yasha: either from orkney or shetland (norse heritage there works for her tooo) but recently moved to the mainland to escape her past (classic yasha moment) and stayed in aberdeen for a while but is rly just wandering around . shes got a tent and the right to roam law, shes just wandering and wildcamping and helping do hard work for food etc

beau: grew up w her very wealthy successful whisky (maybe gin? not decided yet. is juniper and sloe or peat more their vibe lol maybe her dad found some rly rly good peat land to use) family isolated either in the islands or highlands and helped with running their distillery. basically got tf out of there and got into glasgow uni to escape bc her dad was going to kick her out and the only person she knew (dairon) lived there and would let her stay

cad: from the highlands somewhere inland. he is not for the coast. some isolated hippie commune with the dusts and stones too. the clays are gàidhlig speakers (maybe not all the other families? endangered languages :'( idk) the only city cads's been to is inverness 1 time. hes worried about protecting an area of native woodlands around their commune and invasive plants and wildfires threatening it. perhaps a very old churchyard on their land/nearby coffin road and some family history w that. not sure why he'd meet the others yet . maybe yasha ?

fjord: their token english friend. hes from the south as well and beau and veth wont let him hear the end of it once they know lol . he's number 1 fan of going on a ferry to the islands. perhaps came up for uni but didnt even start a course... wants to be a fisherman or work on a cargo ferry or something just so he can go on boats more

one of my favourite songs ever made !!!!

beautiful to me 🌾 Where I know that you can yield, when it comes down to it; Bow like the field when the wind combs through it

always a huge swell of emotion at the urgency of the repeating statement of the song and the entire album as it lifts like the spaceships in Waltz of the 101st Lightborne / takes flight like nightjars and airplanes and mourning doves: White star, white ship–Nightjar, transmit: transcend! the white star = as in a white dwarf star maybe, a star that is slowly slowly cooling but still releasing energy after billions of years (reminder of a universe constantly dying and being born). nightjar = a character in the album (Rufous Nightjar, a type of nightjar used like a name. there's also a Private Poorwill in Anecdotes, which has much more nightjar imagery, named after the whip-poor-will (im imagining now some sort of strange bird army)) and also a crepuscular bird active at the end of day/beginning of day and the end of night/beginning of day. the format of a military command to transcend the end of time and the universe and to travel through it again. the increasingly frantic repeating of the command over and over until it ends halfway through "transcend" as if all the air got sucked into the vacuum of space, but also as if it narrowly escaped an end. not even finishing the word. transcend!! - "No time. No flock. No chime, no clock. No end."

and then we return to the beginning of the album again and the mourning dove calls and the beginning of Anecdotes: Sending the first scouts over Back from the place beyond the dawn: Horse, bear your broken soldier Eyes frozen wide at what went on

hi! youtube channels i'd recommend: benjiplant (just watched a video right now), 59rt (one of my faves), calista (videos about tidepooling), and i liked watching elli hikes' series on the cape wrath trail. i dont rly know much good art ones , need to find some, though i like jamie green's videos but thats a vlog style of video. i just like lowkey sort of lofi very genuine videos about people walking long distances or doing random things, kind of like wendy outdoors trying to make cookies on the beach and julyssa rose's videos about setting up tea trays

hello :- ] aw, thank you !

my favourite part is the section that begins 5 minutes in (lasts until 7:35) but also when bill callahan starts singing too ohhh it is so fantastic . was reminded about it because theres cherries hanging off all the trees right now ... yes yes ❤️

all my bones they are gone, gone, gone take my bones, i dont need none cold, cold cupboard lord, nothing to chew on suck all day on a cherry stone

i spread like strawberries i climb like peas and beans 🫛
