lyrics

I was holding on to a branch in the river, so scared of letting go, and praying only that someone
would stop the flow. I heard a voice like the sound of an ocean – above the river’s rush – a song
as old as the world and my heart was hushed, and I could hear it calling to me … Let go now,
it’ll be ok; let go, and let yourself be carried away. Let go of all your certainty; let go, and let yourself be carried to me. Still I clung to that branch in the river – white-knuckled, terrified – all
of my life I’d been warned that the waters lied. Something changed as the flood rose around me
and washed away my fear. An echo rose from within – it was crystal clear – and I could hear it
calling to me … so I let go. You’re holding on to that branch in the river, so scared of letting go – you’re praying only that someone would stop the flow. But hear the voice, its chorus in motion – conflate the I and we – weaving along with the song of the endless sea – the song that’s always calling to you.

Panorama

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
