The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 33

So people are just listening to the album :/

I wonder if the band knows that those clips are screwed

 

I'm not gonna listen haha. It will take ALL my willpower.

 

"Sun" was kind of disappointing after so much hype, probably my least favourite despite having one of the best sections of the whole album. "You in This Light" is ace.

 

ughshf man i'm gonna have to unsubscribe from this thread there's too much temptation to get an early taste of the album in here!!
THOU SHALT NOT SWAY MY STEADFAST PATIENCE FOR THE RECORD, SINNERS

 

Are the lyrics for Soft Animal available anywhere?

 

I think someone posted them way back in this thread.

 

"We were cloaked in the awning of night or early morning.
Through the headboard there's a flicker of light
and light warning.
Sophie's on the bunk overhead reading Mary Oliver
while I lay still in my bed.
That's when I see you there.
Fawn doe, light snow.
Make me feel alive,
make me believe that all my selves align.
Fawn, doe, light snow.
Spots on brown of white
make me believe that it is all alright.
Your soft face pressed to the wilt,
first spring sunrise
standing low on quivering stilts.
In attempting to keep you to stay
I am raising no alarm.
It is just us two alone.
Then I feel a sigh of wind, your raising eyes
a rolling fog that lets you hide
and I can hear the rustling as you go.
Oh, go slow.
Fawn, doe, light snow.
Make me feel alive.
Make me believe that I don't have to die.
Fawn, doe, light snow.
Spots on brown of white
make me believe that there's a God sometimes.
The ring around a mothers heart
grows saccharine then falls apart
and I can hear the rustling as you go.
You camouflaged or clearly seen
and nameless in the in-between
and I can hear the rustling as you go.
The firing of rifles off
the echo hits you hard enough
and I can hear the rustling as you go.
A soft and skittish self inside
shines golden, opal, chrysolite
and I can feel the rustling as you go.
Oh, go slow.
A mob a voices harmonize
and tell me that your not alive
but I can feel the rustling as you go."

 

Holy fuck those lyrics.

 

I'm going to force myself to wait for the legitimate release day. I just feel like I want to hear this record the way it was intended.

 

Jesus Christ.

 

What the heck is fawn doe light snow. We talking bout Bambi?

 

Can't get over "Soft Animal" that track is so damn good. Was trying to keep my hype in check for this, but it's a losing battle now.


Man, those lyrics above, this band man, this band.

 

This is the best album I have heard in years. I am floored. This is the most cathartic experience I have had from any medium of entertainment in my life. Wow.

 

Soft Animal is a phenomenal song, and I'm not sure if we deserve to have the Hotelier as a band. The clips were enticing so I couldn't resist. I had to stop myself from listening to full songs, but man I loved Goodness Pt 1 and the Grandma song.

 

we do deserve the Hotelier. we need the Hotelier. humanity deserves the Hotelier. Theyre the best band. The world needs more Goodness.


I cant wait to listen to everything, but for now... i wait... never in my life have i anticipated an album more than this album now.

 

This thread hypes me up so much. I haven't heard a single thing from this album, but I can't wait. Those lyrics posted above are . . . Wow.

 

I'm not sure I get the ending of this album, haha.

 

what do you mean?

 

You'll see when you listen to it

 

Just a weird ending to the final song.

 

So psyched for this, I need to see them on tour again. Soft Animal is definitely my favorite so far

 

Just an artistic thing, I like it

 

Damn

 

Yeah, no way I'm listening to the clips in full haha excited to stream "Soft Animal" though. Might have to unsub if too many people want to dish

 

I'm on the same boat. I really wanna expirience this album as a whole, no way I'm gonna listen to those clips.
