Memories from the best time of my life! Train rides to philly and nyc ❤️ I’m staring at the vinyl insert art from this album in a frame across the room from me that I put up when I first moved into my home. I see it every day, but somehow I’d forgotten about wolf parade for years!

this single handedly turned my depression into a resolve to actually start become an energy with a passion so thanks, very cool song

LYRICS:

You said you hate the sound of the buses on the ground
You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
Said, "Pretend it's whales a-keeping their voices down"
Such worthy grounds for divorce, I know

On the radio and the bouncing body drone
Found eighteen reasons I can't pick up on the phone
Said, "Look at the clouds, it's a show all on its own"
Such worthy grounds for divorce, I know

But the darling is dead
We hit it on the head
It looked like a wedding cake

But the darling is dead
We hit it on the head
It looked like a newlywed

But I look at the lovers and the way they stand
And the way they move and the way move their hands
And look at their babies and their tiny little hands
And the way they get loved and the way they get loved, oh
Oh, look at the lovers and the way they stand
And the way they move and the way they move and the way move their hands

You said you hate the sound of the buses on the ground
You said you hate the way they scrape their brakes all over town
Said, "Pretend it's whales a-keeping their voices down"
Such worthy grounds for divorce, I know

Looked like a newlywed

On the radio and the bouncing body drone
Found eighteen reasons I can't pick up on the phone
Said, "Look at the clouds, it's a show all on its own"
Such worthy grounds such worthy grounds for divorce, I know

Bands are still working overtime to best this right here

1 of the best songs I've ever heard...as a fan of less known Artists like Conor Oberst w/ Bright Eyes, Nick Rattigan w/Current Joys, Avey Tare & Animal Collective, Sir Brock from Modest Mouse, Elliott Smith, etc.
Spencer Krug has to be the most underrated of them all and its criminal
