hold me like a knife

SAVING FACE (2004) Dir. Alice Wu

To love in a way that is unwavering. To love even when circumstances or feelings may lead one to wish it would fade or lessen. To love someone even if you’ll never see them again.

My fourth album, The Great Divide, is yours to listen to. It is hard to even begin to describe what these last few years making this album has felt like. The collision of fear and pressure and joy and luck and total love has left me wordless, and if you know me personally, I hardly ever shut my mouth. I spent many months walking forward in complete darkness, hands out in front of me, desperate to touch something familiar that would show me I was near the light switch again. As lonely as it felt, and as unfamiliar as the world seemed in those moments, I was never really alone. I don’t think any of us ever truly are. I was guided through the wilderness by calm voices, by the stillness of my home state, by the total commitment of my band, producers, and team, by the steady and loving touch of my wife and family, and of course, by the constant and enduring encouragement of you all, who I am so lucky to have as fans. I am very proud of what we are doing together and I hope we can live this dream for a long long time

“Don't get me wrong. It can be cool to have superhero parents, like when Mom picks up awesome takeout on her way home from work. On the other hand, living up to the family name means that I'm supposed to save the world someday.” –SKY HIGH (2005)

And I know I've got Rose and Shaun and you. And the biggest sausage roll I've ever seen, frankly. I should be happy. I should be really happy. But some nights, I lie in bed, thinking... "What have I lost?"

“The sword hated you to touch it. The long hilt burnt your bare hands as though heated to starlike temperatures. […] They had tried to remove your sword once, and you were perturbed in some distant way by that memory, which was red, and wet, and ill defined. […] You now slept beside it like it was your large steel infant. […] Truth to be told you would have been happy hurling the thing straight into the hot heart of Dominicus, as it was loathsome to you and you were convinced it wanted to do you harm; but it was very important that it should not be placed in anyone else’s hand. […] This two-handed soldier’s sword was huge and aberrant and frankly malicious, and utterly your responsibility.”
