This amazing collab over on The Swamp was so much fun! This was such a cool, dreamy album to get. I went and did a little reading about it and M83 said that the album was meant to evoke the way that dreaming changes between childhood, young adulthood, and adulthood. Jesse's dreams had to change a lot when Cody died. All those "some days" and "what ifs" have been permanently interrupted and now he's lost in the world without one of his best friends.

This bot does hurt, but I also think that grief can be a beautiful thing, so I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.
