I’ve recently had the utmost privilege to work on soulful visual identity for the collector edition of “The Pain That Bonds”. It’s a particularly significant design for me.
I think, considering what I’m actually going through, that it was the perfect moment to share a song I always felt was emotionally very difficult to sing and share, especially now as I currently do not have much voice to carry the song’s personal feelings. I always found it heavy and dark, yet it is equally bright and delicate, just like life is. I have come to find that a song’s true meaning resides in our willingness to explore its endless depth and profoundness rather than settling down for its most satisfying or non-confrontational explanations. At least, that’s how I see it and why I thought it couldn’t be more honest of a timing to commune that singular project with everyone.
The collector edition will be available to The Club Members on May 24. If any copies are left, it will be available for general sale on May 26.
With love,
Alex
