song meaning
This album spoke to me in so many different ways. When it came out, I had just gone through a bad break up and so when I heard songs like Ruin and Mercy, it felt like he was singing about my pain. I believe that music is very therapeutic so listening to this album helped me get through this tough time.

Illuminate mixes professions of romantic agony like "Mercy", with nice-boy valentines like "Treat You Better" and bedroom come ons like "Lights On."
