The emotion expressed in Passing Time is the strongest of the three-song set. The listener is held witness as Woodworth's relationship withers. Each word he sings makes their private struggle, public. So, we can't help but feel like intruders, eavesdropping on his innermost thoughts.
The song, Man Without a Soul continues Cary's signature songwriting- a gravitational pull inward resulting in a deeply personal retrospective. Self-doubt can be a vicious cycle. The song's chorus repeats itself not unlike the questions we ask ourselves again and again. How we cross-examine what went wrong, assert the voice of right.
At times, Woodworth's voice feels strained, but it is deliberately so. He is the heavyweight champion of memory. He is weak from fighting the past yet stronger for having survived the hurt.
