But if there’s nothing, if there’s nothing
Then what’s that song that keeps hounding me?
In the still dark of the morning
Just one more cradle down the creek
Au revoir my little memories
Then tell me: this is not your loss, this is your offering
- Wake, 'Offerings'
In this episode we are joined again by Shane Jenkins to discuss the album Offerings by Typhoon. Led by singer-songwriter Kyle Morton, the album is a fascinating, at times difficult, but ultimately transfixing examination of the end of a life. It follows various characters through the experience of dementia, sickness and death, allowing the listener to enter into that space through its rich musicality and lyricism. In our episode we pull out some of the imagery of the album, it's literary and biblical references and allusions and address its powerful and important themes.
