Time is the container around every story on this album. Tribute to Kronos steps back from individual selves and loves to look at the force that governs them all.
We move through time, lose things to it, and often fail to appreciate it while it is ours. The closing song asks for attention to that passing: to the moments we have, and to the fact that their impermanence is part of what gives them meaning.
The stories behind the sound.
A reflection on time, with a literary nod to Abigail Owen’s The Games Gods Play and its sequel in the Crucible trilogy.
THE55I’s inspiration includes the loss of Chronos and the revelation of a new god of time in the second book of the Crucible trilogy. The song carries the sadness and scale of that turn into its meditation on the passing of time.
