    "comment": "\"When we were asked to pick a song to cover for Pluribus, The Doors’ “People Are Strange” instantly stood out from the list. This is not only for its musical content, but also for its ability to accurately describe the alienation one can feel alone; something that can be felt universally. We wanted to reimagine that feeling in a new language, both musically and emotionally. Despite wanting to add a more energetic feel to the track, when arranging the song, we added a haunting hammond organ, lonesome spaghetti western castanets and an oud, an instrument that has so often been used to communicate loneliness.\" - Kit Sebastian via Instagram",
