Details
John Moreland is known for writing lines that hit you in the gut, but many of the best moments on Visitor are more subtle. The significance of one of the records best lines, from The More You Say, The Less It Means, may take multiple listens to fully sink in: Some folks say and some folks know. This line sums up John Morelands worldview very neatly. It lays out the dichotomy of truth and lies that Moreland has spent his entire career examining, but now more elegantly than ever. On the one hand, there are people who constantly talk (or sing, or write, or post online) without deep thought or reflection - often irresponsibly, even dangerously, and for personal gain. These are the weary worn-out fools and famous false prophets he lambasted on In The Throes, or the subject of One Man Holds The World Hostage on Visitor. And on the other hand, there are folks who know - those who commit themselves to the pursuit of truth and wisdom, and who only say things when they fully know them to be true
