Asphalt Meadows, by Death Cab for Cutie

Asphalt Meadows

by Death Cab for Cutie

supported by

Wolfwatching Music 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. Favorite track: I Miss Strangers.

Asoukes just a rather nice album that i found through "pepper" Favorite track: Pepper.

Jay Williams An absolute stellar album from start to finish, my number one album for 2022. Favorite track: Fragments From The Decade.

it’s been a battle just to wake and greet the day then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee a hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains the acidity devouring my body but i am learning to let go of everything i tried to hold too long ‘cause they all explode like roman candles i used to feel everything like a flame but now it’s a struggle just to feel anything i watch the world from a window on a hill everyone moving as i’m standing still but i am learning to let go of everything i tried to hold too long ‘cause they all explode like roman candles

5.	Here To Forever 03:46	lyrics	buy track
in every movie i watch from the ‘50s there’s only one thought that swirls around my head now and that’s that everyone there on the screen well they’re all dead now and it ain’t easy living above and i can’t help but keep falling in love with bones and ashes and when the color’s too bold and bright i’m daydreaming in black and white until it passes i wanna know the measure from here to forever and i wanna feel the pressure of god or whatever oh these days it’s so hard to relax you gotta hold a gun to my back to make me smile and the only way i seem to cope is by trying to hold on to hope if just for a while i wanna know the measure from here to forever and i wanna feel the pressure of god or whatever and now it seems more than ever there’s no hands on the levers and i wanna feel the pressure of god or whatever holy rollers keep rolling while the searchers keep scrolling
6.	Foxglove Through The Clearcut 05:15	lyrics	buy track
there was a man who used to live by the ocean but he never set foot in the sea it made him nervous that the water was always in motion and he feared the creatures who swam beneath and when i asked him how he’d ended up there above a world he would never know he said he’d driven all the way across america and when he got to the edge there was nowhere left to go nowhere left to go he said that nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains as he quoted black kettle’s death song the words drifting off into the emptiness of this great land where we’ve never belonged and while the frontiers are ever-expanding our living rooms fall into disarray and no one seems interested in fixing what they’ve broken they just sweep the pieces into the bushes and slip away and slowly slip away and now he and i watch the foxglove grow through the clearcut where a forest once grew high and wild for what is a funeral without flowers and ten thousand tombstones reaching for the sky reaching for the sky
