You could sense it in his body language, but also in the songwriting & production how the music took a really dark turn on By the Throat. Seems like the playfulness that was abundant in earlier albums was gone. "Who the hell am I trying to fool? I'm a fool, I feel so fake / one last goodbye before I take this .45, shoot a hole in the sky, rip it open and climb inside"

9-4-2014Tonight during my car ride home, I had one of the most intense revelations of my life. As I left a friends house, I immediately put in the Eyedea and Abilities album "By the Throat." We had been listening to an E&A Mix I had burned him a few months prior, to which he immediately fell in love as I did. A song had peaked my interest, so the ride home was inevitably reserved by Michael Larsen.I listened to half of the first track before remembering why I had inserted the disc in the first place. "Burn Fetish," the song that had inspired the jam of this particular album in place of their self titled or First Born album. I flipped to the track I desired and turned up the volume. This happens to be my favorite E&A song, needless to say the words were pouring out of my mouth the instant Michael began.After the first time through the song I had realized just how many words I knew, and clicked the "BACK" button to give it another go. At this point, I had begun to feel things I hadn't in quite a long time. Undivided passion for words I had grown to love, perfected by a man far greater than most. At the end of the track, I followed form and went for another ride. This time, instead of mimicking Michael's voice and tone, I found my own adaptation filling the cabin of the car. I was memorizing the words and projecting my own emotions, all the while Michael in the background coaxing me to grow stronger. To make this my own and put all the pieces together to form a portrait for myself. At this time, I was no longer in my vehicle driving home. I was in a studio with Michael, only it was two studio's separated by a sheet of soundproof glass. Each of us bleeding the words to a song we knew by heart into our own microphones. Full of adrenaline and angst, our bodies and demeanor flowed to the verses as we cracked them off. Towards the end of the song, as the lyrics stop and the melody kicks in, Michael motioned towards the ceiling as if to pick up the pace. We must have screamed together for nearly an hour. I make this assumption based solely on the fact that when I snapped back to reality, my vocal chords and throat hurt so bad I thought I may not be able to talk. If I had to guess, I would say I hit that "BACK" button more than 15 times in succession. Every time flowing more powerful than it's predecessor.The last time through the song with Eyedea in my fabricated studio will be 2 minutes and 55 seconds that I will never forget. His words were helplessly shattering my heart as my brain fought to mold the pieces back into something recognizable. Something I would want to see everyday for the rest of my life, that had coincidentally always been just out of reach. The song was now mine, it had evolved and become one with everything in my soul. My voice first calm and collected, now raw and unadulterated by the confounds of existence. This time as my song settled, Michael opened his eyes, relaxed his assailing pose and smiled through me. I broke into tears and cried the hardest I can remember having experienced in my lifetime. I tasted tears of accomplishment and vowed to spread my wings, never allowing another missed opportunity. Michael taught me that wasting your time settled is the single worst thing that can happen to someone. Life is too short to live within bounds, especially your own. There's so much world to see so, fly free my angel. I'm dying without you, but it's teaching me to live. Heaven ain't something someone else can give, it's all inside of me. R.I.P. ~ Michael "Eyedea" Larsen
