My heart is a circus, my heart is ravenous and wild
I know I have hurt us, but darling, becoming takes awhile
I didn’t ask for the painful memories of my past
I don’t know why, it’s the damn darkest ones that last
Just stand beside me in the park, hold my hand as it gets dark
And stay awhile, just stay.
Come and wander through these woods, my heart is broken but it’s good
And stay awhile, just stay.
If I was a painting of a girl in filament of gold
A motionless maiden, demure, worshipful and cold
I think you’d miss me, and the red raw rolling of my mind
You might feel safer, but I know you’d feel less than alive.
Most men have a weakness for a wide-eyed Susan with a smile
And most girls share their secrets so to feel desired for a while
I will not be the wings to your fantasy flight
I will resist you, and the tension with jar you back to life.
(stay, stay. Just stay, stay. Just stay. Just stay.)

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

The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023
