mewithoutYou - 'Another Head for Hydra' (Official Audio)

Official lyric video for "Another Head for Hydra" by mewithoutYou.

Lyrics:
RAINBOW CASTLE: Brown bird, common bird--
How’s your little twig nest been?
BROWNBIRD: I heard you searched the hollow earth,
have you finally found your long lost friend?

Endless words of “a dream deferred”
wouldn’t have you look my way
so I made the rounds in Germantown,
they could barely taste my pancreas that day.

It’s the 28th Will,
the lucky 8th, Bill!
you win that grammy, Will?
Good for the landfill!
...and did you beat Phil?
...and did you network well?

[So grew another head for Hydra]

you wanna circle Sinai another 40 years?
have I made myself?
and myself clear?
still seduced by the child celebrity appeal?
have I made myself?
and myself clear?

Brown eyes, brown eyes,
what do you see?
BROWN EYES: Brown eyes
of an adult looking back at me.
Brown eyes, brown eyes,
what do you see?
BROWN EYES: Hazel eyes &
a caterpillar book on my knee.
And now you’re gonna explain to me
about resilience and fragility?

circling Sinai another 40 years?
have I made myself? and myself clear?
let’s watch the desert sky--do silent shapes appear?
have I made myself in any way myself?
you hold your children close whenever we come near?
speak in children’s prose for those with ears to hear?
You in the diving bell, atop the silver skyline
play the victim well--
who’s the devil this time?

This brought me back to the good old days of A-B Life, Catch For Us The Foxes, and the pinnacle Brother, Sister.

Instant nostalgia hearing Aaron’s vocals kick it up like that. Makes me want more.

I really hope the album heads in that direction!

[tylerlynch]

Holy frick, that's some powerful stuff. I'm glad MeWithoutYou can still pull off this angry stuff well.

[BevIsGuilty]

Hearing this throwback to heavier mewithoutYou but with even BETTER modern production is amazing, I'm so glad they can still bring such quality sounds across all their facets even after as long as they've been a band

[johnc.]

Still trying to shake off the chills of "Who's the devil this time?"... What a brilliant song.

[SamsMusicification]

I can't quite put my finger on what's going on here. Almost has a very distict classic familiar mwy vibe but this recent stuff feels extremely fresh and unexplored. I'm very exited for this damn record to drop

[benjantzen]

I first saw them in a bar in Denver in 2004. I've spoken with all members. They're as down to earth and smart as you'd expect. Still my favorite 15 years later in 2019.

[noveria]

i absolutely love that there is mellow stuff and harder stuff being released at the same time. thank

[frogcola]

I must say that is the best punk rock song I've heard in years

[mward]

This sounds like their Brother Sister type songs but with growth, etc. I am excited!

[McPherson]

This is the best production I've heard from Will Yip yet. Those drums are so huge and not afraid to be more bass-y than contact-y.

[coletaylor]

this is just bad ass. i have so much respect for this band.

[DrewLagoon]

One of my favorite bands of all times does it again.

[oddblood]

I have been a die hard fan since A — B life and loved every single album and I have to say this is top 5 mwY songs.

[Nero]

This is exactly what I wanted today. You guys never let down

[dcblunt]

It’s new and fresh for mwY yet these two singles have the grit and spirit of the bands heyday (A-B through brother, sister). I am so excited for this album.

[matthewmelton]

I can not wait another month for this album. I need it now! Good work guys

[vexingspiral]

The new EP is great. I like this song a whole heck of a lot. Goodjob mewithoutyou.

[jaydenrock]

Heavy mewithoutyou is the best mewithoutyou. This album is clenched teeth. So damn good.

[KingofburstAU]

Love that Aaron still can flex his vocals on the music scene.

“Speak in children’s prose for those who have ears to hear”

MewithourYou finally telling people to pay attention to their stories and symbolism lol.
