Hammock - "UnTruth"

With Love in the Void Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson looked to create a space for nostalgic reflection - that type of universal yearning and longing we’ve all experienced at different times in our lives. As well as encourage us to slow down to notice, to experience, and to appreciate the things hiding in plain sight, that we take for granted everyday.

Discussing “UnTruth” Byrd stated, "This was written right after Andrew received some difficult news regarding his mom’s health. Getting older and watching your parents age is strange. The ‘UnTruth' of unending youth. The passage of time seems almost omnipresent. Am I, are you, are we strong enough to let go and watch the ones we love pass away?"

Love In the Void is not a negative existential statement. Life can sometimes feel like an empty void but then there are those moments when everything seems shot through with ineffable beauty… the kind that takes your breath away or leaves a lump in your throat. Instead of seeing the void as negative, maybe the void can become the entry point for love. Maybe if we all could acknowledge our own inner void, we could learn to be more vulnerable with each other. To do a better job at loving each other, and making love a verb. When we choose to love in the void, we choose each other.
