For me, every time I came home from tour, it’d be all over. It felt as if I was stuck in this cycle to the point where it became comical. My romantic life was a joke, and the duality between me at home vs. me on tour was further apart than ever. I wanted to write something upbeat and fun yet using lyrics I’d reserve for a ballad. A crying in the club type beat, but you’re with your friends, you’re moving on, and everything will be just fine.
lyrics
I heard your voice down the wire
From a hotel room in Colorado
We talked for hours
Exchanged our lives
From different points in time
And as I drove across the midwest
I rehearsed our memories in the rearview
Looking forward to the next time
I could be close to you
We’re starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You’re always on my mind
‘Cause I miss you
As I don’t want you to go
Thinking back about our home
Among the gumtrees
What’s it like for you?
How’s your day?
I don’t mean to be pedantic
I’m hopeless, but maybe romantic
I can’t escape the feeling
That the distance is growing
We’re starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You’re always on my mind
‘Cause I miss you
As I don’t want you to go
We’re starting at the finish line
Turn away, say otherwise
You’re always on my mind
‘Cause I miss you
And I don’t want you to go
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
