154 weddings later, we did the last one for a while during Best Guess on @jimmykimmellive. Maybe some people got to see their first gay wedding and noticed the world did not crumble under their feet lol. But sincerely, doing these weddings has been a huge honor. Can’t believe that so many of you were willing to share your Big Day with the rest of us. I hope every single one of you never experiences a bad day for the rest of your life. And fuck the state for continually toying around with the idea of revoking marriage equality. It wasn’t a prereq, but 120 of the marriages were between queer people. Plenty of people made this decision because they weren’t sure how long they would have the chance, or never planned to have a ceremony because their families were unsupportive. I don’t know what to say other than I hope you find love in your heart. Everyone deserves to choose their own family.

The Archives are out now and I hope you like it. I didn’t really realize what it meant to me until it came out late last night. I know people can sometimes think companion pieces are an afterthought, but I’ve been thinking about this for as long as I’ve been thinking about Forever Is A Feeling. It was a place to put ideas over the years, to keep the door open on these songs, which is not a mentality or experience I’ve had making an album before. It was nice, feeling like I had a second chance or another turn in my pocket. Now it feels like my turn is over and everything is on the table. I thought about naming this Forever Is Over because that’s how it feels. Not like I’m fully disappearing, there are still some shows to do, but I get to start thinking about anything else, about making something from nothing again. I’m really proud of what me and my team and my band have done this year. I got to see some of my oldest ideas become reality. I had a lot of fun around the world with people I love, and with ~you~. All of you, no matter how many there are, add up to one dear friend of mine, and I try not to take you for granted. Okay that’s all, go listen to Forever Is A Feeling: The Archives if you have the time!

Clearing the decks for whatever is next, here’s everything left of Forever Is A Feeling: demos, live recordings, new versions, and unheard songs. I’m calling it The Archives, and it was very fun to put together, like a scrapbook. You can hear it all October 10th, and there’s a preorder open now for vinyl (with two more songs) that will ship before the holidays. About each song: Best Guess (wedding version) – re-recorded this stripped down with the band Bullseye with Hozier at Radio City – glad there’s a document of @hozier surprising me, he absolutely clears me vocally on this by the way Losing – new song I’ve been describing to friends as “pathetic” Ankles (demo) – recorded on my phone, home alone on Christmas Talk at Red Rocks – only on the vinyl, loved this show, Phoenix’s violins sound extra good on this Time In A Bottle – my favorite Jim Croce song, and one of the best songs ever Lost Time (extended) – over a minute more lyrics to this one, something I knew I wanted to do since the start, very satisfying to let it keep growing through the year Bus Back To Richmond – this one got cut from the record, and it’s already out but it feels like it should be included here More Than Friends – same deal The Most Hated Man In West Tennessee (demo) – vinyl only, voice memo demo from before I finished writing Most Wanted Man thank you to @whoisdamaster for another beautiful photo to cover the vinyl thank you to @nicolejaclynsmith for the illustrations for the sticker sheet thank you to @lilah.larson for designing the new lost time tote bag
