this song is so, so, special. it is a glimpse at the rapture that couldn't see us. it makes clear that we don't need it to – we can see ourselves and each other in our invisibility. wings out of our arms
Welcome to the world
You say you see a baby in your arms
And wonder what the in the world
And worlds and worlds and worlds of arms
Are on the way are on the way
Are on the way are on the way
Are you outta the way when you say
Say
I love you I'm afraid
Hold me like the second coming came
We heard the trumpets but we didn't fly we
Stayed
In arms in arms
We stayed in arms
And what are arms but wings
Can god make anything
Like wings out of our arms
Like wings out of my arms
Or only for the worms
This is a world for worms
What a world
Scaredy sharpens the jaw
Scaredy empties the lungs
about
"'I am old, and the night of the sepulcher was long, and I have forgotten much. Yet, groping backward across the void of death, it may be that I shall retrieve something of my former wisdom; and between us we shall devise a mode of deliverance.' And Hestaiyon searched among the shreds of memory, as one who reaches into a place where the worm has been and the hidden archives of old time have rotted in their covers; till at last he remembered..." --from The Empire of the Necromancers by Clark Ashton Smith

I think this is one of the most beautiful albums ever created. It pierces the soul and I feel renewed after every listen. Thank you Big Thief and Adrianne Lenker for one of the greatest works of songwriting and composition I've ever encountered! birdpatch

there's few albums that have such a great, charming and cool vibe, so dark and muffled whilst sounding so bright. it's oscillating between orchestral-like pieces and bedroom pop, and it just works. this is going in the reference music playlist Unit's Daydream
