I looked for You in the thunderclap
Looked for You in the thunderclap
I looked for You in the thunderclap
But You were hiding
Rise, O sleeper, and see the dawn
And the time that we've killed
That lay dead on the ground
Oh!
I looked for You in the blowing wind
Looked for You when I looked within
I looked for You in the blowing wind
But You were hiding
Rise, O sleeper, and see the dawn
And the darkness in our skin
Is now fading with the sun
Oh!
Open wide your eyes and see
Open wide your eyes and see
Open wide your eyes and see
The dust settling
Open wide your eyes and see
Open wide your eyes and see
Open wide your eyes and see
The Light that's coming
Rise, O sleeper, and see the dawn
And the time that we've killed
That lay dead on the ground
Rise, O sleeper, and see the dawn
And the darkness in our skin
Is now fading with the sun
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
