It's about so muuuch more, if you want movies with depth, watch this one! Daniel Radcliffe starred in a version of it in the West End, unexpectedly stirring up some controversy with his nudity
"It is amazing how distinctive Kimbra is as a recording artist and as a performer; The Golden Echo is a game changer, she has managed to reinvent herself once again through pure sound. Kimbra’s debut album Vows was a breezy entrance for her on the indie/pop scene, The Golden Echo is on a level of its own; sonically you certainly won’t be expecting a continuation from where the last album left off, her sophomore effort is completely different in all the right ways. Just the amount of experimentation that would have gone on in the making of this record would have been phenomenal, we hear Kimbra as we never have before and each track really speaks for itself. If you don’t like it on the first listen, click replay, you’ll hear things you weren’t able to appreciate the first time round; Kimbra continues to excite, she has managed to take something old to make it new, and it is something to be desired."
I came across this New Yorker article about suicide and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's a fascinating read.
One person said he would walk to the GG Bridge everyday and if someone acknowledged him that morning, he wouldn't jump.
"As the record enters its second half, there is the expectation of that one inevitable slip-up, the album track that just feels like filler. That doesn’t happen on The Golden Echo. From the Janet Jackson-channelling Madhouse to the Purple-One-balladry of As You Are, not to mention the spectacular closing double whammy of Nobody But You and Waltz Me To The Grave, Kimbra takes everything we know about a commercial record and turns it into something exquisite and unique. In doing so, she’s both erased a multi-platinum sin from our memory, and quite simply created one of the most thrilling pop albums of the year. 5 Stars."

The George Washington Bridge here in NY has a similar history. Unfortunately police officers "guard" the bridge now, I learned that the hard way. LOL
I usually love these modern alternative/indie pop girls but this FKA Twigs album is not cutting it for me
Her voice is really uninteresting and lyrically it's really really really weak. The production is the only great thing imo
