I'm glad you gave it a go! It's my ultimate music post for this sub, I'll never top it. Yeah the song is a heavy hitter. I think most people appreciate simple songs, and these are some of the simplest most obvious lyrics ever, at least the part I quoted, yet I feel like I haven't heard them elsewhere.

If you want more, this one is similarly heavy is a life kinda way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlUwei4bMcA

Here's a rocking one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmhp_NEH12Y

The words may be simple, but the way they're executed isn't imo. Sometimes they feel very paradoxical but make sense, and they always throw in these like, dissociative guitar chords, that you aren't expecting or clash yet still fit, and it almost makes it feel like you've been hit with a poison dart or something and then those "simple lyrics" hit you. I feel that's what makes their music so terrifying and beautiful lol!

dude I love "One Chance too", "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" is a great album. "The World at Large" is great song too... "This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About" is amazing too, dramamine is such a good song..

edit: never heard Shit Luck b4, I missed it somehow when I first read your comment, that song is seriously gr8. There are those "disassociative guitar chords" I was talking about.

heck yeah, that's it. so dissociative that it sounds like strangling a cat sometimes. I don't even listen to that much indie shit, it puts me to sleep, but these guys have/had it, epic music and lyrics.

Not that I know from personal experience. It's on Whale Song especially, pure catty noises.
