you reach into your pocket, try and touch the sky
what price are things i buy how do i know i'm still alive
they say
we are
hundreds of thousands years old
got an ancient virus, it picked me like a flower
now i can recall yesterday and the days that came before
here are these belongings, arrange them all by size
you’d like to be at the very top but these inner lines still spoiling for a fight
in the cube a room
press start to go
trampoline
and a porch to sit and be chewing on straw
in an apartment all the things you forgot
rotary type intersection driving backwards through time
reach into your pocket
reach into your pocket
they say
you can touch the sky
passing by
all the other places in my mind
The great underlying instrumentation paired with Florence's droll stream of consciousness lyrics make this album stand out. It feels so personal and confessional. Favorite tracks are Strong Feelings and Leafy. I've heard Scratchard Lanyard on alt radio and love that one as well. tofupotpie
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
