If some of the songs seem very dark\u2026it\u2019s because they are. They\u2019re highly-personal portraits from our past; snapshots of tragedy, loss, and all the emotions that follow. For those of you who don\u2019t know, we did actually suffer a great loss this past year, when we lost our sister Becky (Sarah\u2019s sister) to suicide.<br/><br/>It crushed us.<br/><br/>We went through a wide range of emotions\u2026loneliness, depression, desperation. And it was hard to find focus. The biggest support we had was each other, and of course, our close friends and family. We talked, we hurt, and we\u2019re still talking. Still keeping on. But it wasn\u2019t easy getting to this point.<br/><br/>We thought about how tragic life can be at times, how the world can bring you down\u2026and we ended up learning that you have to try to find the beauty in it. It\u2019s okay to not feel okay, and it\u2019s okay to ask for help. We even thought about you guys (our fans &amp; friends), and what you\u2019d think about when listening to this album. And if you or someone you know is experiencing any issues with mental health - please don\u2019t be afraid to get help.<br/><br/>Communication was our way of dealing with it\u2026and we think it can help you too. Find love &amp; support in each other, and don\u2019t stop talking. Don\u2019t stop sharing your stories or your advice.<br/><br/>#postitforward<br/>#bestfriendshit<br/></p>\n<p>Check out Tumblr\u2019s <a href=\"https://tmblr.co/mA6XrkHXwQPKGfqr3LYalGg\" target=\"_blank\"></a><a href=\"https://tmblr.co/mA6XrkHXwQPKGfqr3LYalGg\" target=\"_blank\">@postitforward</a> campaign to help continue to counter the stigmas around mental and emotional health.<br/></p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>This is an advertisement on Tumblr dot com.</p>\n<img src=\"/media/tumblr_oet595XWkb1qfgk01o1_1280_1023feced0d5.jpg\" />", "thumbnail_url": "https://kontextmaschine.com/media/tumblr_oet595XWkb1qfgk01o1_1280_1023feced0d5.jpg", "thumbnail_width": 745, "thumbnail_height": 656}
