mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 42

This band just released some of their strongest work and y’all still whining for more?

 

yes.

 

lol i really do hope they put out another song next month

 

Every Thought, Bullet to Binary 2, Cattail Down, and King Beetle are soo good

 

I will soon. I’ve found if I really dive into a new album (new EP, Julia) and “get” it, it goes a long way to getting into the back catalog.

 

We spent our nights climbing towers built on songs

 

Nature had another plan, failed to run it by me!

 

The best moment ever

 

I listened to that track like 30 times before i read the lyrics and found that nugget. It was such a good Saturday morning. Will remember it forever. Just stunning.

 

I admit it warms my heart to watch your world fall apart is probably one my my favorite lyrics. I love when Aaron gets petty.

 

angry Aaron is the fucking best agreed

YOU'D BE WELL INCLINED

NOT TO MESS WITH ME

 

Aaron’s subtle vocal delivery on “It’s not the person that dies, the WORLDS DIE inSIDE us!” is still one of the coolest things ever to me.

 

That song is just perfect

 

Well, I had a dream about this album last night. My Mom was cooking and made a dish corresponding to every song on the album. And also for some reason they decided to end it with "Rainbow Signs" again.

 

Lol, what were the dishes???

 

If Rainbow Signs was the closer again I wouldn’t even be remotely disappointed

 

"break on through (to the rainbow signs) [pt. two]"

 

Are you saying the closer sounds like Rainbow Signs?

 

I just want one song that goes as hard as Mexican War Streets and I’ll be happy

 

You say Judas is a brother of mine?
Oh, but sister in our darkness a light shines

prob one of my favorite lyrics ever.

 

Dish #2: Pasta ala Julia (or, Pasta ala 'Holy to the LORD' on the Bells of Horses).

 

no. it sounds nothing like “rainbow signs”

 

One of the things that has surprised me is that I haven't seen that much discussion about the EP's lyrics here or elsewhere on the internet.

Having said that, I came across the following post on Reddit titled "Cities of the Plain is maybe the most scripture-reference-heavy mewithoutYou song to date". It's by Dave Daugherty who released those PDFs examining the lyrics of Ten Stories and Pale Horses.

Fascinating. I'd only caught two or three of these references.

 

Bethlehem, WV momentarily fills the hole I put in myself.
