Joyful Defeat Beyond this Aching Despair (Inspired by The Caretaker's An Empty Bliss Beyond this World) is a book of soundscapes, filled with ripped pages of recollection. Each page has a unique feel to it, from remembering to when times were better to an aching urge to return to our past. No matter what we do, we cannot return to our stories of the past. The best we can do is remember. Remember the memories that made you who you were, you may not live with them forever. Read your stories, and tell others your past. Nothing lasts forever.
