Arm's Length - There's A Whole World Out There

Fakta There's a song on There's A Whole World Out There, the second album by Canadian four-piece Arm's Length, called "Palinopsia". Derived from the Greek for "again" (palin) and "seeing" (opsia), it's a visual phenomenon marked by the persistent image of something that's no longer actually there. Singer and lyricist Allen Steinberg wrote the song about "pure devotion or love towards someone that may no longer be a part of your life", but it also applies to the record as a whole. Throughout this album's 12 songs, Steinberg wrestles with the part of life that's been and gone. Yet there's a noticeable difference between the person who wrote this record compared to the one who wrote Arm's Length's 2022 debut, Never Before Seen, Never Again Found.
