Kobbe if i could ever write a song that would ever be even somewhat compared to this i would die happy. Phil Elverum is the greatest songwriter ever.

in the liner notes for the glow pt. 2 on vinyl, or at least in the reissue notes, instead of having the lyrics for this song, it has this big long poem/story about the what the song's about. i highly recommend that you find it, it's extremely worth it.

hey thank you for revealing this! i know this was written 8 years ago and i don’t know if you even use this youtube channel anymore, but could you somehow link pictures to this lyric sheet you speak of? i seem unable to find this anywhere, and i intend on giving phil good money for this record someday (and many others of his!) but cannot do so atm as i’m, besides an enamored phil elverum enthusiast, a very broke college student also haha! thanks in advance, i’d be so grateful if you’d read this and somehow find a way to show it. side question (pardon any nosiness on my part), but are you daniel johann as in the adore 1996 / salvia palth daniel johann? if so like thank you so much i love your music for years and years now, it got me through some of the roughest and most anxiety-ridden years of my life and i’m very grateful and appreciative of your art and your existence.

It's likely about an ex, although not explicitly stated The Glow Pt.2 is allegedly a breakup album about Khaela Maricich, of the band The Blow.

R8052509P well shit, this is old. But the Glow Part 2 is a breakup album (also the greatest breakup album ever but whatever). This being stated, the moon is about an ex girlfriend, and moon sequel is just a follow up of the same girl. The Glow Pt 2 is a masterpiece and Dawn is the follow up, where phil despite his desperate attempts is still drowning in his sadness.
