lyrics
i saw your picture at the booth
and there's a uniformed man here waiting for you
you smashed your camera on the wall,
from the fear and alcohol,
and i was willing to take the fall
but you won't see me floating,
you know I'll be sinking in
you can't catch me running,
try and catch me jumping
whoa...
a man with a badge he wears like a crown,
the long arm came down
but you were nowhere to be found
so they checked our bags for a stowaway,
and by land and by sea you couldn't get away
so you took to the air and jumped in to the front page
singing you won't see me floating,
you know I'll be sinking in
you can't catch me running,
try and catch me jumping,
whoa...
and there's a uniformed man here waiting for you
you smashed your camera on the wall,
from the fear and alcohol,
and i was willing to take the fall
but you won't see me floating,
you know I'll be sinking in
you can't catch me running,
try and catch me jumping
whoa...
a man with a badge he wears like a crown,
the long arm came down
but you were nowhere to be found
so they checked our bags for a stowaway,
and by land and by sea you couldn't get away
so you took to the air and jumped in to the front page
singing you won't see me floating,
you know I'll be sinking in
you can't catch me running,
try and catch me jumping,
whoa...

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle.

Through the Deep, Dark Valley
by The Oh Hellossupported by 4 fans who also own “Catch Me Jumping”
This album makes me want to run in a valley, dance near a bonfire, and repent for all my sins at the same time.

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.
