The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 87

In that case, I can't wait until I get to that song.

 

They're putting it up for DL on Bandcamp or sending out pre-order codes?

 

did you pre-order the album?

 

I did.

 

This shit hit me right in the feels.

 

agreed.

 

The closer is a song that Soupy wishes he had written...soo badly

 

go to the email that you got when you ordered the album that confirmed your purchase and follow the link it gives you

 

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese"

 

Thank you.

 

A lot of these songs are that haha. Two Deliverances definitely.

 

Settle the scar confused me a bit when it came on cause I forgot it was off their fest split and I was like "why did they include this song again?"

 

It fits in very well

 

two deliverances actually reminded me a little bit of dismantling summer, but like, better

 

Yep, that's the comparison I was looking for and didn't quite have.

 

I can't wait to walk through the woods listening to this after work tomorrow. Gorgeous record and just what I needed to hear at this point in my life. Way more immediate than Home was.

 

The lyrics are in the download as well for those who pre-ordered, can't wait to dive into them

 

YES. just downloaded this album. its mine!

 

about to start listen #4 while reading lyrics

 

The spoken word intro starts this off kind of awkwardly, but that may be my only gripe with an otherwise beautiful album.

 

My god Two Deliverances. What a song. I wish I hadn't listened to Settle The Scar like 100 times over the last couple years. Would have loved to have heard that song for the first time right after two deliverances.

 

The "End of Reel" and the end of "Sun" are early highlights for me.

 

lyrics come with the download!!!!

 

You know how the theme of the album is how goodness is a place outside of time that represents the good in everything (rough interpretation)? That's literally what listening to this album felt like. It was like an out-of-body experience. I'm in love with this album.

 

In the light of the day, stabilize and reset
and then burn in the image until I can't forget
and end ceaselessly speaking until Nothing is unsaid.
I don't know what I want what I want is where I've been.
In the night will you rest your head into my hands
will you disrupt this pattern from starting again?
If I ask you for Nothing will Nothing there stand?
I don't know what I want what I wants where I've been.

God damn
