BTW: “The album sort of wrote itself, without a direct intention,” Bloom tells P&P. “But after the album was written, I realized that there is a common thread that holds it all together. The theme is that ‘you are never out of time to do the things you want in this life’. In the last few years, I have said goodbye to many habits and people who didn’t serve me energetically. I weeded my friendship garden — and also purged a lot of self-judgment. I also stopped trying to save other people. The record speaks to all of these journeys.”
