Abraham was scared to die, forsook his wife within a lie
I think I know the reason why; cause he was made of dirt
Joseph's coat was full of pride, the blood of goats won't wash you white if I was his brother, I'd have lied and left him in the dirt
Moses never entered in to land he thought was promised him; he took his people 'round again to pick manna from the dirt
Solomon became so wise with many wifes and concubines, he fell for every single lie, yeah, his head was full of dirt
David's where I got my name, abusing power, abusing fame he stole a girl, her husband slain, left six feet in the dirt
and peter fell to his own shame, denied his love, denied his name, he ran away when the people came to nail him to the dirt
Samson only thought it fair to let that witch come cut his hair and look through eyes no longer there as he crushed them in the dirt
and paul would sit upon his throne and kill us with the biggest stones and wrestle with a thorn unknown, a thorn up from the dirt
but if the nations had a father, then joseph would redeem his brother, moses held the waters up, david would become your love, solomon would build the temple, samson came to destroy evil, peter soon became the rock and paul would lead the roman flock and it's all that I can do to keep my eyes off You, and it's all that You can do to keep me, keep me, keep me new
All that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me
all that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me
all that I can see is that You can't see the dirt in me
and all that I can see is You
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 have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
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
