These roads are made for walking
Though the blistered feet are talking
Round the barrel, grab a seat
Oh, the stories that we'll meet
So the man begins his tale
Our expressions growing pale
And the crickets with their song
Begging us to join along
When the miles begin their walking
And the trees begin their talking
Swing on round the merry-go-round
Married girls in snowy sound
Birds are singing "Hallelujah!"
But those tunes are bound to fool ya'
Everything as it should be; Oh, Infinite Mystery!
More than fiction meets the eye
For it tells a seeing story
Who really wants the glory?
We will burn them in a fury!
Paper guns and paper hats
When they burn, they all burn black
And we remember all we are:
Broken boxes, burned and charred
When the miles begin their walking
And the trees begin their talking
Swing on round the merry-go-round
Married girls in snowy sound
Birds are singing "Hallelujah!"
But those tunes are bound to fool ya'
Everything as it should be; Oh, Infinite Mystery!
When the miles begin their walking
And the trees begin their talking
Swing on round the merry-go-round
Married girls in snowy sound
Birds are singing "Hallelujah!"
But those tunes are bound to fool ya'
Everything as it should be; Oh, Infinite Mystery!
The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
If you have a fondness for expertly wrought roots-rock with sharp lyrics and aching vocals, look no further—“Strangers” is for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 8, 2022
