It’s that time of year when my eyes are misting all day long
and the bones that hold my mind are prone to breaking
And the Carolina coast feels like a friend that once was close
or a feeling from a dream I could not shake
So I am packing all my things into the smallest bag I have
And I am hoping that the salty air can cure just like my mama said
And reading Rumi talk of God like he always was a friend,
I hope that’s how I will remember him
I hope that’s how I will remember him
The whole way there, I was worried about how you would see me,
yeah, I never quite got used to this here body
But the sun was shining bright and casting fairies on the sea
and so I never even thought, once, to say sorry
So I am taking all our things and placing them onto the sand
and I am thinking about how your hand feels almost like my own hand
And about how we make plans but we don’t always follow through,
yeah, I hope that’s how I will remember you
I hope that is how I will remember you
There were three new words tied into the rope that we had found
as the day began to spread across our shores
You looked upon the world as if it all was hallowed ground
and the future was a dream I could ignore
So I am taking all my bags and throwing them into the sea
and I am hoping that your hand will stay this close to my body
And we will stay as long as it feels good, and then we’ll leave,
yeah, I hope that’s how you will remember me
I hope that is how you will remember me
I hope that is how you will remember me

I absolutley LOVE the harmonies and the strings with this. It is BEAUTIFUL. You have such a way with layering those things together. It meshes so flawlessly. With the whole EP though I really enjoy the "lived in" feel to it. norma_grace
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
