1. Devotion is the latest musical project from Mark Palm, the creative mind behind Go It Alone. This project finds Palm moving even further in the direction that was becoming evident in the final Go It Alone recordings; slow, dark, rock oriented hardcore. In the fall of 2008 a ten song LP entitled Bastard Son Of Affluence Blues was recorded with Jesse Gander at The Hive Creative Labs in Burnaby British Columbia. In addition to Palm’s vocals and guitar playing, drum and percussion performances were handled by Aaron O’Neil of ON.
Drawing influence from hardcore, rock, and beyond, Bastard Son Of Affluence Blues is a forty minute monolith of heavy, yet tuneful, hard volume.

7. Devotion is a Neofolk /Experimental band from Wisconsin, United States.
Troy Schafer (of Kinit Her, Wreathes, Rain Drinkers, et al.) and frequent collaborator Dani Schafer began this recording project, a musical work to celebrate their relationship together, just after moving in with each other in 2009. Over the course of the following years they continued to develop and deepen the content of this musical project just as they have their personal relations. Now married and living far from where they began, they have finally turned in the result of their efforts, a beautiful record under the banner of the aptly christened Devotion. Those already familiar with the Schafers' musical forays into the hidden recesses of folkish trance and the moving cadence of ancient melodies, as is well documented in their work with Kinit Her and Wreathes, will be thrilled to hear them sink all the more deep within these sounds of their shared atmosphere and to stretch out within the music of their own hearth. Maidenly vocals soar, with glorious harmonies twisting over a stirring rush of stringed and brass instruments and propulsive percussion, with Dani's voice drawing familiar timbres from the memories of classic 1960's acid folk goddesses. Despite the haunting inherent in this and all music born of those with their roots deep in the soil of Wisconsin, Devotion is able to safely make their prayers within the sanctuary of the each others loving grace, and this feeling weaves itself with warm reassurance throughout the entire album.

Dying Heart
Devotion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a dying heart
My life without you
Is gonna be so hard
Only pieces of my life remain
Missing memories of yesterday
We were so happy,
And i can't understand it, baby
Cloudy days just make me realize that now
I have nothing left to live for tomorrow
Tell me
why'd you leave me
With a dying heart
My life without you is gonna be so hard
Only pieces of my life remain
Missing memories of yesterday
I don't know what went wrong with all of our dreams
I thought our love was so strong
But that love you took away from me
You just left me that day
You didn't even explain
And now I'm living in pain and agony
Why'd you leave me
With a dying heart
My life without you is going to be so hard
Only pieces of my life remain
Missing memories of yesterday
I can't love no more
And my heart is so dark
It's like I'm losing touch of all reality
The pain it hurts so deep
That I'm losing all my sleep
Thoughts of you never seem to leave my mind
Why'd you leave me
With a dying heart
My life without you is going to be so hard
Only pieces of my life remain
Missing memories of yesterday
Why'd you leave me
With a dying heart
My life without you is going to be so hard
Only pieces of my life remain
Missing memories of yesterday
The lyrics of Devotion's song "Dying Heart" convey the heartbreak and confusion that come with a sudden end to a relationship. The songwriter laments the absence of their loved one, and tries to make sense of what happened. They describe their life as being incomplete, with only the pieces of their former life remaining. Memories of yesterday are missing, indicating that their time with this person was a significant part of their past.
The chorus of the song repeats the question "why'd you leave me with a dying heart?" as the singer tries to come to terms with the loss they have suffered. They describe their pain in detail, saying that their heart is so dark that they can't love anyone else, and that they are losing touch with reality. Sleep eludes them, and they can't stop thinking about their former partner. The song is ultimately about the deeply personal pain of lost love, and the difficulty of moving on when everything in life seems to remind you of what once was.
