I've been asking where you are, they say you frequent liquor stores and make them water out of wine,
get them drunk on holy vines
living water seems to pour on me until I don't want more
Holy tongues and tongues of fire, holy gossip through telephone wires
We just sit there skipping stones, trying to walk on water some
but I can't seem to calm a sea, much less my emotional self-deceiving
I've been seeing snakes sprout legs, offering us our souls instead
grace has made me free from sin, sounds like a such a good bargain
and I'm too tired, let's say we're done; we can say we had a good run
Father, Healer, take our place even if we're last running the race
and I don't want to catch my breathe, burning like a cigarette
Heaven knows where hell belongs for those of us whose noses grow too long
but You must be tired of skipping stones, hoping that they'll come back up
and I just want to be your own and drown beneath your love
Jesus stands above my grave with a look of pity on his face and says "I know you better now than I did before and you're prettier"
but every time I roll the dice, I can never get the same thing twice so playing's become such a bore,
I pick the words that I want to ignore like the ones you're saying now that say I can't become too proud
I'll leave the ones that sound like love 'cause they must have come from heaven above, yeah, they must have come from heaven above, yeah they must have come from heaven above, yeah you must have come from heaven above
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
