mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 202

its supposed to be about his travel to Palestine/Israel but the lyrics are incomprehensible with all of the tangent references

 

I definitely prefer the alt version. plus, this is a great summer album so a song called winter solstice feels weird to blast in 90 degree weather.

 

Y’all are wild. Flee is a perfect song

 

favorite one liner? I'll steal it before someone else posts it:

"ALL JOKING ASIDE, FIVE FINGERS WIDE"

 

matadors live is nuts mike slays during the solo

 

Tortoises is my least fave on the record, I think. The end sections of Matadors and New Wine, New Skins blow my tits off every time.

 

i wrote and deleted at least 5 different answers to this but i shall settle with "When the mouths of praise and blame start to sound the same" and click Post Reply before I give myself another chance to think of something else

 

COME UNFASTENING ANDROID LIMBS IN THE MOONLIGHT THRU TRANSLUCENT SKIN

 

“Its shape was roughly human / it was only roughly human!”

 

OH WAIT, if it's from the entire discography, then it's hands down "Nature had another plan (and failed to run it by me)", without question

 

we just gonna act like "o porcupine, low in the tree, your eyes to mine, you'd be well to inclined, not to mess with me" doesn't exist?

 

Living two thousand four hundred fifty nine miles from home / when again that line from Eleanor Rigby cuts me to the bone / I read the Lord God said, “It is not good for man to be alone” / but you can leave me anytime, you can leave me anytime

 

I thought they meant just from Untitled, too. if we're talkin full discog, easy choice:

"and they gathered like wolves on the boardwalk below

THEY'RE HOWLING FOR ANSWERS NO WOLF CAN KNOW"

 

The final stanza of “Rainbow Signs,” though. Devastating perfection

 

And I'll wrap up your absence
In blankets of reverence
A mastodon shadow
Divided by zero
And comfort your family
With words like eternity
And friends made in factories somewhere

 

Maybe the bleakest song/moment in mwY’s discography.

 

“One day they’ll find us, feathers on a tiger’s body, quite as a clear blue glacier lake”

 

This line always sticks out as painting such a vivid picture, I love it so much

 

Nature had another plan
AND FAILED TO RUN IT BY ME

 

My wife was wearing a mwy shirt at target the other day and the cashier goes "whoa i havent thought about that band in like 10 years" and she responded "well then you've missed out on most of their best work" and i couldn't be more in love.

 

I once wore a mwY shirt to Disney World and ran into a couple that were both also wearing mwY shirts. I think that's the only time I've seen their merch out in the world aside from at concerts.

 

Tour announcement when

 

Fox's Dream of the Log Flume:

I asked her, "Do you ever have that recurring fantasy where you push little kids from the tops of the ride?"
She shook her head no
I said, "Oh, neither do I"
And with my grandma's ring
I went down on one knee
And the subsequent catastrophe
Has since haunted me like a fiberglass ghost
In the attic of my inconveniently selective memory

Also, I think all of Messes of Men is worth mentioning for sure!

 

I almost posted this one. Love the gallows humor in that line.

 

The entirety of Julian the Onion is a pun. It only recently occurred to me that the title of the song is also a pun.
