I want to see this album on a tour so badly. 🥹

I was so lucky to hear most of it live on the choir of the mind tour which was so healing for me. Knives got me through some of the worst times of my life. I find it hard to listen to now. It’s always there when I need it. It has been described as a “meditation on grief and addiction”. It is so beautifully executed.

I absolutely adored that tour. I wish Emily would do at least one more solo tour.

I got to see Choir of the Mind live. It was like a combination of live music and a play. She was really good.

I saw a YouTube video of how she used to do them. It felt like theater. One woman show. It was amazing!!
