mewithoutYou - [untitled] e.p. & [Untitled] LP (2018) Album • Page 98

What's the lucky 8th? Who are Bill and Phil?

 

Michael, won’t you row that boat ashore?
Your little brother can’t paddle anymore!

i feel legitimately haunted listening to michael, row your boat ashore.

i've only heard it once and i feel like its gonna go down as an all timer for sure.

 

Interested in hearing more thoughts on what the narrative is in Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore. Cuz it sounds to me like the band is breaking up lol

 

the more insight people give into these lyrics the more I like them, keep sharing!

 

It'd be real cool to see p4k review this just for the exposure it would get them.

 

9:28 a.m., low in the phosphorous lights
of lonesome days & parthenogenetic nights

love to hear aaron sing "parthenogenetic"

 

we'll see if i ever finish it lol

 

hmmmm

 

alright. made it through my first listen and i'm having a hard time putting any coherent thoughts together.

i legit though this was gonna be pale horses part 2 but it feels like so much more than that. how does this band do this. i don't understand how you can be this deep in your career and still be able to reinvent yourself the way they did while still maintaining everything that is perfect about them.

this band man, i can't.

 

imagine being Aaron Weiss's brother in general? like every day you wake up, stretch and think "my brother is the greatest lyricist in the history of music"

 

And Michael is genuinely an incredible guitarist and songwriter himself!

 

Have you heard from heaven today?
Tell me then, what’d Gabriel say?
Am I still on that narrow way?

 

counting on you

 

Yeah, mewithoutYou is like The National at this point. I just implicitly trust them to put out something compelling.

 

Someone on Reddit described this as a chaotic fever dream and I must say I'm inclined to agree

 

This is all just me speculating as best I can because I like to picture that moment as aaron in the studio with Will and teasing him from the vocal booth.

Will Yip is chinese american and 8 is the lucky number in chinese numerology
Bill is a nickname for Will
Phil is Phil Nicolo who will studied under as a producer
Catching up with Will Yip, the Philadelphia music scene’s secret weapon - The Key

 

Imagine being in a band and hearing this, like... I'd feel like a fraud, haha

 

Solid investigative work, Boss Baby.

 

the lead guitar in Julia reminds me of Glad You Came melody

 

and you smiled but your vampire complexion still shows
and your past shows
it's really all that shows
(so often unrecognizably so)

 

"winter solstice" is sorta for me in adulthood what "in the aeroplane over the sea" was for me as a teenager

 

And to pre-empt any leak as pre-orders began to ship. I think it's quite clever actually.

 

Tortoises and Wendy and Betsy all the way for me right now. theyre the runaway tracks here along with Michael.

 

This is good but I don't think it's the best they've done.

 

btw the teletubbies reference is "tinky’s harp on the wall" in "flee thou matadors"
