These guys could make one of the greatest tracks ever and name it “Sesame Street” or somethin

[hopscotchoblivion]

I heard this song while taking a shit and I started cryin

[sperfitt]

"Oh, your generous loan to me /
Your crippling interest"

One of best final lines of one of the best album closers of one of the best albums of all time.

[yawbyss]

A song hasn’t made me feel this way in like, ever

[AurtleTheTurtle]

Playing this after every minor inconvienence I suffer >

[TheGov]

after all the years of leaks this song still hits me in the g spot

[owenembury]

If this is the last we ever hear from Isaac, what a way to go out man

[pipe]

Best song ever. What a band you guys are.
Thank you Isaac for everything, a one of a kind artist.

[ekotpos]

Possibly will go down as one of the best songs of the decade

[man]

Ending crescendo has me strokin my shit

[thisistheglasshouse]

maybe kind of unusual thing to say but this is maybe one of the best mixed pieces of music I've ever heard. It's insanely difficult to make such a dense, multi-layered section of harmony and noise to sound as balanced and clear as the ending of this song. Whoever did this deserves a beer.

[the_idling]

Possibly one of the greatest songs of all time. A beautiful way to end an amazing era. Thank you for everything Isaac. I hope you find what it is you’re seeking.

[himbokoopa]

can’t wait to have a shit ton of nostalgia for this song (and this entire album in general) in 10 years

Instrumental Intro (0:00 - 3:18)

Part I (3:18 - 5:25)
Concorde flies in my room
Tears the house to shreds
Defines the night as such
A home for us, stick insects
And leaves no trace of luck
At every market town that we intersect
I die like fifteen times
The dark blue stem brings me to their breast

And I'm feeling kinda normal with a packed lunch
Train rides don't hurt much these days
We're all working on ourselves and we're praying that the rest don't mind how much we've changed
So if you see me looking strange with a fresh style
I'm still not feeling that great
And then it's in soft-focus all around you
You can't see the football game
On my dad's sofa, we are still, and we never look at our phones anymore

Instrumental (5:25 - 6:39)

Part II (6:39 - 7:51)
Oh, I can't think of anything better
Pick a hair off my sweater
And drown in me
Like boyfriend jeans
Oh, I haven't felt this way in, like ever
I am the convo, you are the weather
And the clamp is a cracked smile cheek
And it tortures me

I haven't felt this way in, like ever
I am the convo, you are the weather
And the clamp is a cracked smile cheek
And it tortures me

Instrumental (7:51 - 9:46)

Part III (9:46 - end)
In my bedsheets, now wet
Of Charlie, I pray to forget
All I've been forms the drone, we sing the rest
Oh, your generous loan to me, your crippling interest
And my bedsheets, now wet
Of Charlie, I pray to forget
All I've been forms the drone, we sing the rest
Oh, your generous loan to me, your crippling interest

Oh, in my bedsheets, now wet
Of Charlie, I pray to forget
All I've been forms the drone, we sing the rest
Oh, your generous loan to me, your crippling interest

10:15 holy hell, bcnr predicted verbalase???

[SoCloseToToast]

Thank you for the random strangers on the internet that put me onto this band. They are indeed something special and a diamond in the rough when it comes to composing music in 2022. This is the type of music that attaches us to the soul of sound.
They aren't necessarily making 100% original or unique in the genre they are in but its unique in the sense of just elevating that post-indie rock sound with jazz elements & production/lyrics/composition of the whole damn album that is something to celebrate in this day in age where music can be overly-processed copy/paste pick a relatable word and make a song about it.

[noodlesalad]

You think 10:45 is the crescendo, then 11:15 hits. This is a masterpiece. I don't say that lightly.

[WrenCubes]

issac's swan song and one of the best tracks ever written. thank you for everything <3

[StudioScarecrow]

Praying for Isaac during this Brat Summer

[jeremyg]

Day 1 of this being the greatest song ever written
