Seventeen, I would dream
I kept it all together
Out of touch, in the clouds
Didn’t know better
Clarity ease my mind
Tell me everything’s fine
Was a fool to think I would never change in time
Pull the thread to watch it unravel
Lose my handle
Fall apart and try to regather
What I scattered
I was young and naive
Caught in place, tethered
Couldn’t stand on two feet
Fragile as a feather
Rip the rug from underneath me
I’ll keep sinking
Strip away my sense of meaning
I won’t feel it
Thought I knew what I wanted
Thought I knew who I was
Chalk it up to bad timing
Call it whatever you want
I was only a moment
Before returning to dust
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
