eloise,
you alone could not cure me of this incurable disease
i skipped town for some time
when i came home
i'd lost that smile
that you'd learned to love
then learned to live without
what was left, sweet eloise
was a haunted memory
of a new lover uncovering the saddest sights in me
nothing makes you wanna quit
like a stranger telling you
that the midnight parts inside yr heart are all thats shining through
eloise,
you do not belong to me
but every good woman deserves a life of decent company
well you can polish all yr kings
but you better play them god damn things
won't you come over tonight
pick up a fight
& learn how to win even when you lose
sweet eloise
but nothing makes you wanna quit
like a stranger telling you
that the midnight parts inside yr heart are all but coming true
Just in time for the holidays, Ipecac delivers a collection of rarities from Spotlights, showcasing their woozy, doomy shoegaze. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2025
A revelation of a recording. This track is already amazing, and this take on it wrests the trademark Mountain Goats "relentless hope" into yet another beautiful shape. What a track. What an album. aquazume
