Absent Verve by Skeleton Screen
Absent Verve was written during a particularly dark time. It was written during the pandemic while the local area was literally on fire, toward the painful ending of a decade-long marriage.
It covers personal experiences of the lyricists and vocalists, revolving around pain, loss, and isolation.

Skeleton Screen is a project intended to foster inclusion. While I have my own personal experiences, I feel it is more meaningful to express these experiences through the lens of others' lives. We all experience pain, loss, death, and the depression and anxiety that these things bring. While we all feel these things uniquely, our shared experience brings us together. We are never truly alone.
