That is the tune that made me understand I used to be writing an album.
There’s at all times one which does that
Till then I’m type of floundering round with a bunch of tune bits in numerous levels
With no clear image of what it’s I’m doing

As soon as the tune “Revelator” got here to be
I might see what the album might be

I actually struggled with naming the album Revelator
As I really feel prefer it in all probability has sure biblical and style connotations
That don’t apply to this album or to Phosphorescent in any respect

However ultimately I do know what I imply by it
And the album actually couldn’t be referred to as anything
And in order that’s why that is the title observe

I feel it is likely to be the perfect tune I’ve ever written
