appreciation post for “One Moment”
well, make no mistake about it at all, this is the BEST song on the Machina 48 album true BC approved release. 48 songs and this flawless masterpiece stands out completely and totally to me.
these lyrics are so amazing. and the instrumental is so ominous and beautiful. i just don’t get how he managed to do all of this. 48 songs. all of the extras. Mellon collie and the 900 other songs that didn’t make the album. i really don’t ever say it because i know it’ll get me blocked if i message him but he is truly one of the most talented individuals to ever grace this planet. and his music blesses my ears
“i trust no religion beyond you and me. i accept no decision within my mortal reach. but you and i no younger now than secrets left to tell. i’m praying for the strength to will one moment greater than myself.” this is so fucking amazing. i will always say that the Machina stuff is absolutely the apex predator of SP’s discography and BC’s career. the scope of it all and the fact that it’s the greatest ______ the name of what this type of album is called escapes me rn but whatever that is it’s the best.
also, this run of lyrics in Soot + Stars is so good. “i’ll often speak of you
but the you was always me
'cause when i speak of me
it’s me i ask of you”. i don’t even have the words to describe how amazing this is.
also YET ANOTHER PROMISE!! is beautiful. such a good instrumental. and God’s Promise… i just love this album so much.
