open season on a broken heart
this is the year they take the summer apart
there is a magic to the carnival arts and i can hear the sound
is it the wind through the wonder wheel
is it the science of the way we feel
is it the silence of that old appeal will you be mine again?
my love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight
waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk
follow the noise no one but me and the neighborhood boys
will remember where we were when this went down
the ocean calls us like we’ve never been
one hundred games that we will never win
close your eyes and hear the teacups spin as it begins to snow
and if you’re careful that’s not all you’ll hear
the mermaids watch us steal a souvenir
and whisper moral warnings in our ears as we are heading home
my love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight
waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk
follow the noise no one but me and the neighborhood boys
will remember where we were when this went down
so take a deeper breath let’s hear you sing
and reach your hand out for an iron ring
you’ll get another chance oh that’s the thing we will be back again
cause summer comes around on any clock
a wash with bathing suits and polka dots
we’ll ride the subways to their final stops to see the sea again
I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

I accidentally started listening to this band in 2020. Saved my life. Went to see them play a few weeks ago. Confirmed the joy of life. Buying album for my dad's birthday now. Happy days mcwuzza
