lyrics

Soft and still ripening,
another early august morning.
I thought I’d wake up less restless
because I cut my hair when the sun and moon were eclipsing

but I’m still here,
After all these years
that I’ve been coming
and going,
I’m always coming back
so uncertain:
pulling back the curtains,
hoping to see mountains.

Now, I’m leaning on the table.
I am an empty vessel.
trying to be thankful every
minute I am able
a little aimless
But I am free.

Now, I take a walk and I’m
taking nothing with me
but the weight of my thoughts into the churning of the city
heading north along old fences
draped in yellow roses
hanging heavy in the heat
and even heavier with the wishes
of every stranger passing:
lovers in the thick of it,
a mother’s touch as time just slips-
their children growing up too quick and
asking their own questions-
Some that I’m still asking with my
hands along the grasses like
the surface of a world I’ve yet to meet.

And the heat keeps rising.
The heat keeps rising

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

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
