lyrics
You have a talent
For turning around
Break it up and take me apart
Just to put me back down
I’m gonna take it the wrong way
Better the wrong way
I’m gonna make my own mistakes
And take it the wrong way
Words you are saying
Can’t hold a light
You don’t even care if you’re wrong
Just as long as you’re right
It’s like a magnet to another twisted knife
Just throw it all away and turn your back to reconcile
If I saw you through a restaurant window that would ruin my night
I’m gonna take it the wrong way
Better the wrong way
I’m gonna make my own mistakes
And take it the wrong way
I was a punchline in the past
I’ll never beg for scraps again
And are you mad at me
Cause I ran out of sympathy
And I learned it the hard way
I learned it the hard way
Take it the wrong way

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo

Western State Hurricanes were an early iteration of The Long Winters, and some of that band’s beloved songs turn up here in an early state. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2020

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
