Have you seen the king?
He does not come down very often
You must be a stranger here
You have the look of one who’s hungry
So are we
I’m sorry there’s not more to give you
But still the fields give better
Than they did before the lord came
Who is this phantom
who rules over this phantom land?
He who sits upon
an empty throne can never stand again
You must be a stranger everywhere
Like him, you’ve traveled far now
I see in your eyes his longing, distant stare
A heart that always questions
Must be a hateful thing for your poor mother
Do you think of her now?
Where is she?
Does she mourn you
like he mourns you?
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
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
