The magazines of little men
with centuries they all descend
with old frustrations still inside
like what to do with other minds,
with other minds?
And is it wrong, this love of hearse?
and if we never died, would that be worse?
So sing your song, you love averse.
You didn’t like the khôras? You’re not the first.
The histories of all “great men”
with cults of death they’re born again
with money Shanghaied deep inside,
like jealous lovers’ prying eyes,
love’s prying eyes.
And is it wrong, this love of hearse?
and if we never died, would that be worse?
So sing your song, you love averse.
You didn’t like the khôras? You’re not the first.
For every Nietzsche come again,
with bright Apollo’s businessmen,
with every word you’re mystified,
why is this love not other-wise,
just otherwise?
And is it wrong, this love of hearse?
and if we never died, would that be worse?
So sing your song, you love averse.
You didn’t like the khôras? You’re not the first.

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

Keeps up the real good songwriting they've been doing ever since Kintsugi; has all the best elements of the band, great melodies and choruses, but they're also more mature now. Every album Death Cab seem to dig in deeper to the elements the initial albums were experimenting with, bringing it all together. Wolfwatching Music

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
