lyrics

Now you watch a cloud gather
As the dusk fills her with light
Gold robes of sad laughter
Wrap around red maples and pines

There is a guardian
That stands there at the gate
Asking you what you have to prove
By being there so late

And there’s something that tells you
that this is not right
But there’s something else tells you
it’s time to take flight

But the Good will go with you and keep watch as you sleep
The stars overhead will guide your weary feet

Your head is full of questions
That you have the right to ask
But the moon you look upon tonight
Is not going to answer you back

You may hear his voice reflect from stones
You may see his face in the pond
But the voice you hear is just your own
Not the one for which you long

And there’s something that tells you
that this is not right
But there’s something else tells you
it’s time to take flight

But the Good will go with you and keep watch as you sleep
The darkness will fall upon all that you leave
There in your questioning heart can you tell
lf you ever find him will you lose yourself?

Notos
by The Oh Hellos

supported by 4 fans who also own “Guardian”

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

This album makes me want to run in a valley, dance near a bonfire, and repent for all my sins at the same time. catinamossbasket

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
