    "comment": "At nearly 19 minutes, \"Planet Desperation\" is the penultimate track off The Scholars.\n\n\"[Will] Toledo has been transparent online about living with long COVID, and while the age of the flagellating 'pandemic album' has largely passed, the ivy-clad world of The Scholars was deeply informed by a still-ongoing period of what Toledo describes as a 'scholarship of faith' brought on by his illness.\"\n\nHe said of the the themes of faith on this album: \"[I no longer felt like], \"Oh, I'm just a secular person, I have this academic interest in religion. For the most part, I believe in science. I believe in voting blue. I believe in the stuff that my parents kind of unquestioningly believed in as well.
