I was a wishing well, waiting to be filled
I was an empty hand, waiting to be held
I was asleep within, You made me breathe again
I was asleep within, You made me breathe again
When You came along, my heart knew Your song
And I could not contain Your mysterious refrain
When I breathed into my lungs, Your song made its home
Kicking over gravestones, never leaving me alone
Never leaving me alone
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
