Hey, everyone! You may remember my post from 2024<\/a> over my friend Jon R. Mohr\u2019s album he released that summer, Bioluminescent Soundwaves. Well, I\u2019m happy to report that Jon has come out with a brand new song,\u00a0Death is a Beautiful Cobalt Blue.<\/p>\n This eleven-minute composure featuring the vocals of Julie Elven is a piece that comes from deep within Mohr\u2019s very soul, as it is the result of years of stress and existential crises. He mentions that this work is inspired by T. J. Lea\u2019s story, \u201cI Bought My Wife a Life Extension Plan,\u201d which he listened to the audio drama of in January 2025.<\/p>\n Following the diagnosis, her job let her go, and each following job failed to accommodate her medical needs appropriately. Between the medical stress, job insecurity, financial complications, and facing the physical struggles of POTS, the couple experienced their fair share of breakdowns and emotional turmoil.<\/p>\n Within this story, Mohr says it entailed the most beautiful depiction of death he\u2019d ever heard, and it brought him comfort. He decided then and there that he\u2019d believe in this version of the afterlife, even if it made no sense, because all that mattered was that it brought him comfort, and that works for him.<\/p>\n Things are much better now, with Mohr\u2019s wife having a great remote job and a better handle on her physical symptoms, plus the two of them are closer than ever. The journey through all of this made Mohr truly appreciate friends, family, and the simple things in life.<\/p>\n In Mohr\u2019s own words:<\/p>\n \u201cDeath Is a Beautiful Cobalt Blue is the result of all of that. It\u2019s an exaltation of life, loss, beauty, and grief. It doesn\u2019t shame or try to hide pain or the negative aspects of life. It welcomes all of it, because I feel so lucky to be able to experience all these things and truly know what makes life worth living. I also consider myself very lucky to both know what intense happiness and intense pain feel like. Because all of it is life. THIS, now, is all I can guarantee to be true and real.\u201d<\/p>\n So, there you have it. A baring of a composer\u2019s soul and struggles, as well as his joys and comforts. I hope you enjoy it, it really is quite beautiful.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to follow Jon on Instagram<\/a>, and have a great day!<\/p>\n -AMS<\/p>\n Like this:<\/p>\n Like Loading…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\u2190 Today in \u201cLook at This Dork\u201d<\/a>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WHSAthenaS2.jpg\")
According to Mohr, the story really spoke to him and was practically a mirror to him and his wife, who was diagnosed with POTS back in 2023.<\/p>\n
