lyrics

a million chimneys cough out a stubborn ballad
with every note the stars get harder to see
it’s winter, it’s midnight, and black has turned to blue now
the whispers and wonders are pregnant and full of belief

the grass is covered and swelling around us
as we lay on our backs and try not to breathe
time as we know it has slowed to a wrinkle
the sparrows and judges are sleeping in heavenly peace

Got this record as a birthday gift from a bandmate and it coincided with the loss of my grandmother and a painful trip east to see to final arrangements. It provided both company and consolation during that difficult journey and thematically, is spot-on for this season of life. Can’t say enough good things about these guys. Creep Church

This is just one of those albums that are in the perfect place at the perfect time. If you described it to me, I probably wouldn't listen to it, so just go listen to it. Seriously. You'll be glad you did. Morgan LaVigne
