"Inspired by the quote printed on the cover art (see below), Bloom & Wither is my way of describing something unimaginably big with only a few words. It explains not only the flowers standing on an old ladies' kitchen table and her passing thoughts as she reflects on her long-lived life, but also almost everything else we know about our existence in this vast universe that surrounds us. Everything has a beginning and an end. 'Nothing lasts. Everything is perishable.' We 'bloom and wither' as I like to describe it. It might seem like something sad, but It could also be a comforting realization knowing that the most difficult times or the darkest thoughts we experience have an end to them. A time will come when everything will feel better," says Oscar Gullbrandsen of U137.
"Nothing lasts. Everything is perishable. It may feel like a sad realization, but it's a part of life. Understanding this can provide comfort and confidence about the conditions that govern our existence. If nothing lasts, then that applies even to the most troublesome moments. Even heavy thoughts disappear. Sometimes it's enough to sleep on the matter. In the morning you can wake up with new energy and new perspectives." - Bjorn Lindblad
