lyrics
there's a siren right outside my window,
calling me out with the fire brigade
and suddenly old chicago's burning,
and we're battling the blaze
the wind is blowing rain against my window,
and all at once i'm a captain out to sea
through the 39 foot swells of this nor'easter
we'll press on through the storm,
till we hear that lighthouse horn,
and it's a long way home,
and the wind hits my skin like stones
through the salt and foam,
i'll be coming home
there's something wrong with the satellites this winter,
and i'm on a rocket headed out to space
i'm an astronaut 400 miles from solid ground,
and i'm not afraid of falling down
but it's a long way home,
and the wind hits my skin like stones
through the fire and chrome,
i'll be coming home
calling me out with the fire brigade
and suddenly old chicago's burning,
and we're battling the blaze
the wind is blowing rain against my window,
and all at once i'm a captain out to sea
through the 39 foot swells of this nor'easter
we'll press on through the storm,
till we hear that lighthouse horn,
and it's a long way home,
and the wind hits my skin like stones
through the salt and foam,
i'll be coming home
there's something wrong with the satellites this winter,
and i'm on a rocket headed out to space
i'm an astronaut 400 miles from solid ground,
and i'm not afraid of falling down
but it's a long way home,
and the wind hits my skin like stones
through the fire and chrome,
i'll be coming home

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.

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.
