“John Ruskin” is the third single from the album “Cries and Whispers” from Corde Oblique. The song has contaminations from metal to postrock. The text on the first part is a quote from the great English art historian, mentor of the Pre-Raphaelites.
The second part is instead sung in hopelandic, the language of verses, inspired by Sigur Ros.
