Let's get in your bed now
We spent a long day in the snow
We can watch the sun sink
Through your window
I have got a heavy head
And you a growing heart
We always intertwine
And then we part
And you, you built me up into a mansion man
And I can't stand to let you live inside me
I did all I can to set you free
Go collect your wood
And build yourself into a shining palace
Like we knew you could
Think of what you need
And I'll collect it all for you
I'll dive in the pond and find
Those pebbles that you threw
But I can't wait around like this
I'm starting to cave in
And I am tall
And you, you built me up into a mansion man
And I can't stand to let you live inside me
I did all I can to set you free
Go collect your wood
And build yourself into a shining palace
In my neighborhood
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. ladyoforion
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. clementinehatepageichangedmymind

Paper Window emotionally captures me with every listen. It houses my favourite song ever written and keeps me together when all hope feels lost. Keith Porteous (they/em)
