However, plans change ░▐ ▌░ and taking a long-planned break from Judah and the Lion, he ░▐ ▌░ suddenly found himself writing songs from a new perspective, ░▐ ▌░ eventually creating a new album, Moonlight in Visby. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ In this tiny, rural Swedish town, on an island in the Baltic ░▐ ▌░ Sea, amidst medieval defence walls and Viking ruins, he began ░▐ ▌░ to discover who he was and created a soundtrack to the ░▐ ▌░ stillness and isolation that enveloped him. Armed with his ░▐ ▌░ mandolin and a guitar bought from a woman on the island, he ░▐ ▌░ found a respite from his usual identity and began to create ░▐ ▌░ songs that more directly dealt with who he was and what he ░▐ ▌░ was becoming. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Sitting in his bedroom at 221 degrees SW, he could look out ░▐ ▌░ on a landscape parallel to the one he inhabited in Nashville. ░▐ ▌░ What he saw and who he was becoming while his wife was in ░▐ ▌░ school led him to reflect on this new life, leading to the ░▐ ▌░ emergence of this new personality. With the help of Swedish ░▐ ▌░ producer Tobias Fr÷berg, Moonlight in Visby became a ░▐ ▌░ recording of the experiences of a man a world apart from his ░▐ ▌░ home, coming to grips with living in a foreign landscape and ░▐ ▌░ experiencing life with a newfound sense of freedom. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Amidst the gentle waves of guitar and mandolin on "So ░▐ ▌░ terribly hurt2, Fr÷berg adds a mix of other instruments as ░▐ ▌░ Macdonald sings, 'I know our forever/Is stronger than any of ░▐ ▌░ my words'. In contrast, Molly Parden adds a notion that ░▐ ▌░ implies a weathering of their relationship, 'But I canÆt ░▐ ▌░ forget the past/ And all the questions that you never asked'. ░▐ ▌░ While storm clouds may be rolling in, there is also a sense ░▐ ▌░ of hope for the relationship. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Written and recorded during a dark Swedish winter, Macdonald ░▐ ▌░ reflects on the song, stating it ' embodies the cold, lonely ░▐ ▌░ side of love. The person you love most is also the person you ░▐ ▌░ are capable of hurting the most'. With Fr÷berg providing the ░▐ ▌░ keyboards to "Many Moons", Macdonald encapsulates his view of ░▐ ▌░ the song. It is the heartbeat of the album. In my point of ░▐ ▌░ view, the moon is a symbol of love. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ When you look up at a crescent moon, only a sliver is ░▐ ▌░ visible, but in reality, the entire thing is still floating ░▐ ▌░ there. ThatÆs kind of how I view love: even though the light ░▐ ▌░ ebbs and flows, and it can be hard to see the whole thing, ░▐ ▌░ the love remains constant and always becomes full again'. ░▐ ▌░ Additionally, we get insights into his life abroad in songs ░▐ ▌░ like "Coffee in Bed" and "The List" that show a deepening of ░▐ ▌░ his love for his wife and examine new ways of living. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Taken altogether, Moonlight in Visby gets to the core of ░▐ ▌░ Brian Macdonald and his alter-ego, Victor Mucho. What emerges ░▐ ▌░ is a picture of a man who has become more comfortable with ░▐ ▌░ who he is and what he is becoming. Who could ask for anything ░▐ ▌░ more? ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post rock ░▐ ▌░ kraut . post punk . darkwave . alternative . lo-fi ░▐ ▌░ country . americana . folk . folk/rock . progressive rock ░▐ ▌░ psychedelic rock . stoner . doom . sludge . desert . fuzz ░▐ ▌░ grunge . metal . heavy metal . hair metal . hard rock ░▐ ▌░ drone . aor . classic rock . southern rock . west coast ░▐ ▌░ hardcore . punk rock . garage . library . soundtrack ░▐ ▌░ avantgarde . classical . electronic . ambient . new wave ░▐ ▌░ synthpop . leftfield . experimental ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://deezer.com/album/311654507
