Comment:

for a friend who's having a rough time. some of the songs have an optimistic tone, for the obvious reason. some of them not so much but i put them on there because they are beautiful, and beauty if happy as well. some hit right in between, and i think 'tragiverse' pretty much sums everything up. overall it came off slightly manic. at any rate, i hope she enjoys it.
