It is said that it is precisely art that is made from the most subjective place, can become universal. When a creative artist or artist creates their own dilemmas, embarrassments, fears, difficulties, questions and anger and manages to make a personal statement from them - many can identify with it.

But in his fifth album, "I've Come to Dream," Nathan Goshen tries to do the opposite - he writes a collection of abstract and unrelated dilemmas and experiences. There is a description of the difficulty, the dilemmas are floating and the noticeable noticeable, but they are not associated with anyone. Sometimes the words sound like a rude soldering of snippets of sentences taken in street calls ("But I didn't come to play, I want everything now, I can't help it, maybe because it feels like my watch is ringing"). Another playable song, another plectic dilemma presented without concrete context; Even after listening to the album, listeners are not better acquainted with Goshen, and no real intimacy or identification is established between them.

As in a generic illustration picture, the actors here play only a role, and some are even neglecting it. Tunes like the words, even if their relationship is loose or non-existent. The glittering production emphasizes the milkiness of the sad feelings, and the distance between Goshen and listeners is kept like a strict commandment that must be followed.

And maybe all of those words are the teasing of anyone who doesn't understand the mood of the piece. Perhaps in a situation where everyone is wearing the same clothes, spending the same places, dancing to the same songs and crying from the same news, the emotions have also become collective. Perhaps what started as an attempt not to annoy anyone, and to write the broadest consensus - became a face-wiping monster that threw us all into a unified mass of used thoughts, banal fears, and plastic bourgeois concerns, the kind that doesn't wrinkle.
