'ORNAMENTS FROM THE WELL' highlights a continued shift into a new era of the band, evoking a mix of anguished alt-rock and post-hardcore, punctuated by moments of raw brutality. The new song is the tenth and final track of the album, and a fitting conclusion to the band's most emotive release yet. Serpentine riffs permeate the song, building a sinister tension that helps the band's distinct melodic sensibilities shine. The lyrics are stark and brooding, adding a palpable sense of darkness to the track that is punctuated by a swirling accompany visualiser.
Vocalist Brent Mills comments on the song's theme:
"Last song on the record. First and only song I had finished lyrics for when we left for the studio. I didn’t realize it would set the tone for the record as far as the theme goes, but this song really showed me where I was and what to lean into when writing the rest of the songs. The song is purely about depression and sinking headfirst into what feels like endless hell. I really didn’t think I could keep going at the time, but somehow here I am and that’s where this song comes from.”
With two records under their belt (Cult America and Empty Black), Greyhaven utilised their classic chaotic energy when writing This Bright and Beautiful World. Written in five different locations, the band wanted all of their ideas to present themselves once they entered the studio with producer Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio. Taking pride in simply being “four guys who like to play music”, Greyhaven left with a diverse set of 10 songs that dive into themes of frustration, depression, the inability to fully express yourself and appreciating the darker parts of life, even though that may seem impossible at times.
