Naming “The Horrors”

If you read those Google documents many moons ago you’d already know what I’m referring to, but for anyone else seeing this for the first time I’d like to inform them.

“The Horrors” I go on about hearing are voices that say my erstwhile love was raped, desires to be raped, performs incest, is mutilated, waits for me to commit suicide so she can die herself, or consumes feces, among other things. This is consistently what I hear and has been repeated for a while.

While walking to South Station from work I heard a voice say “I want to be raped! I don’t want to feel!”

And before I could feel any greater hostility towards the ghosts in my mind, this wonderful song started playing, and took me to a new world.

I find it funny that the title is “Love All.” I’m not sure the band knew what a tall order that would be, but it’s fitting, because I don’t want to be constantly submerged in fear, anger and paranoia. I want to love too!

The song has no lyrics, it’s all instrumental, but it’s my new favorite ❤️
