Listen to Philmore Greene “The Grand Design” https://philmoregreene-mmg.bandcamp.c… πΌπ½πππ πππ ππππππ In “Stay Gone,” Apollo Brown masterfully crafts a brooding soundscape, guiding listeners through a multigenerational narrative scarred by addiction, war, and inherited trauma. At its core, the track exposes the cycle of dysfunction triggered by a father’s wartime scars, which he numbs with heroin, leaving his family to grapple with the fallout of neglect. The son, shaped by this dysfunction, echoes his father’s patterns, battling his own addictions and inflicting similar emotional wounds upon his wife. Both men retreat into the night, haunted and alienated, escaping the very households they helped fracture. It’s a gripping testament to the lingering ghosts of trauma and the struggle to break free, even as they’re drawn back into the darkness. Philmore Greene Stay Gone Prod.
