lyrics

Just for a moment, let’s suspend our twenty-first century sensibilities, and consider the possibility that there’s some element of truth in any long-standing belief system. Ask yourself why these stories have endured, why most old religious beliefs and stories share fundamental elements. Some of these are positive, like paradise, some of them are neutral, like having some ancient text to learn. Some of them are not positive, like Hell. Many of these places are not misery and punishment in perpetuity, while others have a place you go on the way to a more permanent Hell. Gehinnom, the Chinvat Bridge, Purgatory, Samsara. Perhaps it’s easier to move backward and forward between life and death from those places. Perhaps there are times and places where that journey is easier, as the tide of time ebbs and flows, like crossing a causeway from another time, another place, another state. Maybe now and again, something pushes through…

Devs (Original Series Soundtrack)

The soundtrack of Devs is one of my favourite scores of the last few years, and I highly recommend both the series and the music. This really fits the picture and adds to the way the story is told. Kim Halliday
