alone with nowhere to be with a man mad with grief and on each side a thief and everybody hanging from a tree from the truth and everybody think from a tree [Music] to the Sun spiral children there is nothing more valuable than beauty they say there is nothing more valuable than love and I lie amongst the leaves in the burning trees and the fields of smoke and the black butterflies in the screaming horses and your bright green eyes so beautiful your bright green eyes so beautiful [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] if I could say it again only right cross sky seek

"In Ireland we put -een after a word to denote it's a small version of that thing. Ghosteen would be a little ghost."

Knowing what the album is about is an utter gutpunch. I hope writing this helped him.

[u/Mill3r91]

This is stunning so far.

[u/brettgjaw]

Second track deadset gorgeous.

[u/David_Browie]

Me, before the stream started: We don't know for sure if this is going to be about his son.

Me, two minutes into the stream: Nevermind.

[u/LaMareeNoire]

Totally different yet also very similar. This is gonna an obsession for some months to come

[u/David_Browie]

I take it all back. Hollywood is the apocalyptic ending this record deserved and is the real highlight for me.

And I'm just waiting now, for my time to come.

[u/Nicklord]

The ending of the first song was just amazing

[u/gaminauvelo]

They are incapable of making a bad album. At first listen, my favorites were The Spinning Song, Bright Horses and Sun Forest. The second half is also beautiful.

This album is what I thought Skeleton Tree was going to be.

Damn. On my second listen now and it's really fucking powerful. Brutally sad and beautiful. One of my favourite albums of the year.
