about this song

“Close Your Eyes and Swing” starts the album with an instrumental and idle sounds of nature: birds chirping, nearby wind chimes, and a melody that creeps up with deep, droning sounds. The title of the song paired with the contents of the track itself evokes an emotion of calm, swinging from a swing set. This mood quickly shifts when the mid-song quote changes the imagery to that of a lynching. “Why Won’t the Sun Come Out?” loops the nature track back here, looping the album.
