As someone wholeheartedly convinced by Italo Calvino's (and Kundera's) ideas of Lightness, The Herafter strikes all the right chords with its ethereal musicality and the stunning inquiry of its lyrics. Jordan's work (and that of all the musicians he collaborates with) has left me utterly floored since I first discovered Love's Crushing Diamond several years ago. They are, unquestionably, my favourite band at present, and The Hereafter is, unquestionably, my favourite song.
