This Love is Fleeting is a complete record in its truest form. These 12 songs are cohesive, yet individually pull on similar themes and motifs, such as: sun vs. rain, night vs. day, and light vs. dark, while at the same time, introducing the overlapping dichotomy of the world and its’ indifference to human feelings. Our feelings are only being controlled by the choices we make, the relationships we create, and the blurred idea that time condenses, controls morphs and changes them. Tyler sings with confidence, “I am who I am just because” …we are in a sense born into this and we cannot control anything except for what is now.
The two themes that Tyler seems to bounce back and forth between is the constant change within something and the larger ability to see the change that is occurring is not unique, but universal. There is constant movement depicted throughout the album in terms of weather, geographical imagery, and emotions. The ability to always move and get nowhere helps create the idea that we are all moving away from love and then back into love, while doing our best to keep fighting memories and re-inventing the past in new ways.
It is an intensely deep record that grows darker and more mysterious on each listen. It is eloquently good at revealing layers of great mourning, understanding, and acceptance. The title sets up the realization that love is born, lives, and dies, and can be reborn again in a new person, place, or form. In a cyclical world…This love is fleeting.
