As good as I could possibly imagine my life getting, it did / After I met you / The way you reached inside my chest and pulled out things and sent them off in breaths blew / And as good as it got with all the layers peeling off, and though I writhed / I could not upset you / With your hand down my throat you held on to my heart and pumped blood through
— “You Swan, Go On” by Mount Eerie, off Lost Wisdom
I love this album and obviously am feeling a little excessively romantic after having surprise time off to spend with Ryan this afternoon.
“You Swan, Go On” by Mount Eerie with Julie Doiron in Tacoma (Parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7)
So I suppose I’m really liking Mount Eerie this fall/winter, after being mostly a It Was Hot, We Stayed In The Water kind of lady.
That time they played at Scene only a few days before I was coming into town to visit? Yeah, that was a disappointment.
Everybody will eat you / Everybody robs graves
— “Grave Robbers” by Mount Eerie
“Great Ghosts” by Mount Eerie
This song is still great.
Wind Poem is also seeming pretty killer.
