Except for basically how they are made and the title like ‘The Violent Bear It Away’. Flannery O’Connor was one of my other high-school crushes. I only had crushes on dead women and I love southern Gothic literature. Of all the southern Gothic writers I like, she is certainly my favorite, her writings where dark, and poignant and filled with grace, and funny at the same time.
I had a little recorder in my living room and I was playing piano and I recorded three chords on the piano. Just little arpeggiated three chords, took this bad recording of piano into my studio, put it into pro-tools, looped it, looped it, looped it, and started adding all the other elements on top of it.
One of the things I particularly liked about this song is it starts very simple and innocent and it gets bigger and it keeps getting bigger, it keeps getting bigger. I mean, I have no idea how anyone else might respond to the music that I make. So someone else might listen to this song and be like, oh you know what, it’s repetitive and boring and you might as well have left it off the record. But I personally love the way it develops and just when it gets to a certain point, it then gets a little bit bigger. It’s almost like the opposite of the Russian doll. Starting with the tiny doll, and gets bigger and bigger, and bigger.»

Whoever's in charge of the music for Person of Interest truly has a knack for picking great songs.

I love finding a song from person of interest and then seeing how many people hop on here doing the same thing as me. Seriously....this show....wow
Gilberto B.
It's really amazing the power and the feeling in this song.
The fist time I listened to this song I have to stop the car and listen to the song.
Beautiful, strong, powerful...
Thanks Moby, you're an inspired and creative artist.

The series' finale was truly beautiful, I'm gonna miss this show so much especially Root. It will always be my favorite show ever 😭
Pete Juvinall
Listened to this CD on an overseas flight a couple of years ago and I've forgotten how good this song is. The progression is amazing.

I was adopted to enjoy a better life I was supposed to have. This song makes me feel how I am lucky to be alive and how life is beautiful despite all the bad things our world is facing every single day... I will probably never know how my biological mother looks like but I know she gave me the most precious gift by separating from me : to be loved by my adopted family, my wife, my childrens and my friends ! I listen to that wonderful melody, I close my eyes and I imagine how beautiful might be my mother ! And Then, I can sleep quietly and I can die happy :)

Having people around, who love you and remember you after your gone, that's much more important than meeting your biological parents. Consider yourself lucky.

One day when you are ready, you should try reaching out to your birth mother.
If you want you will find her.
At the very least it will help close old wounds that one may not be aware of.
I wish you well.
