Look at yourself, look at each move, asking the man,
"How does any single being get out from
Under the thumbs of all of those hands
Grinding them off of their lines in the sand?"
I smile to myself, setting poses, clenching my jaw
Am I unique enough? Have I had a single thought?
Am I in the woods wasting time being scared?
There’s no point if a tree falls and nobody cares
And nobody cares
Nobody cares
And nobody cares
Nobody cares
And nobody cares
Thank you, I mean it
Don’t have to repeat it
I'm grateful, I’m grateful
I hate being so hateful
You are not me, I am not you
That’s all that we can do
I’m grateful, I’m grateful, I’m grateful, I'm grateful
Feeling the pull, feeling the push, stopped in your tracks
Deer in sunlight, fragile body will face facts
You are the glass, and I am the pane
Feeling ashamed that we’re one and the same
Oh to be bitter, so jealous, so petty, so mean
So dramatic, cut straight from a magazine
Pasted to cardboard and dragged through the dirt
Straight down to the core of the earth
Straight down to the core of the earth
Straight down to the core of the earth
Straight down to the core of the earth
Thank you, I mean it
Don’t have to repeat it
I'm grateful, I’m grateful
I hate being so hateful
You are not me, I am not you
That’s all that we can do
I’m grateful, I’m grateful, I’m grateful, I'm grateful
Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 25, 2023
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
