sis heard a new gabriel track on the radio at her coffee shop shift today and she has been dissecting the bridge like it's the dead sea scrolls for the last six hours :D

look i'm not saying it's bad. i heard bits of it in the car. the hook is fine. standard good gabriel stuff. BUT the bridge apparently "recontextualizes the entire verse structure" according to the expert next to me who is now staring at me for typing this... ((you're writing about ME not the song)) anyway she says there's a key change that mirrors a key change from an older track and that's proof of intentional architecture across albums or whatever. i said maybe he just liked the chord progression twice :cheeky:

she wants to know if anyone else caught it. the song was playing around 3pm on the local station that runs the hour-of-devotion block or whatever it's called. she describes it as "the one with the line about standing at the edge of a place you've never been and realizing the footprints are yours" which... ok that is a good line i'll give her that

anyway if you heard it drop the timestamp of the bridge. sis demands proof (and she's mad i'm posting about her instead of letting her borrow the account lol)

still owe bigrig diodes from wednesday :D :D :D :D
