scott s 03/15/2021 Someone who grew up with Bazan's music, it was such a great take on his wrestling with his faith, family, and his personal struggles. It was also (un)comforting how honest he was with his struggle with others, and his music, and how through the process of dismantling and rebuilding one can find inner-peace, hope, and joy in life.
