This ol' train can't seem to catch its breath
what town or plain that I've now strayed is only the moons guess
I thought my home was a stone inside my shoe
it leads me like light to see what I can find of you
I found that what I wrestled was not an angel, but still broke my ankle
I tied your dreams to the tracks before I moved
but woke up to find that what's left of me is what's still left of you
and the peace in your eyes when you cry
makes me hope that true joy will come to me when I die
I found that when we wrestle, I fight like Cain, you fall like Abel
so why am I who's left unstable?
A touching and nuanced exploration of religion and related themes that anyone can appreciate. This album has stuck with me since I first listened to it, and I find myself returning to it regularly for that gorgeous sound. williamvds
This EP is a re-recorded sample of their longer first EP, which was full of heart but a bit raw. These songs, however, are strong and well-crafted. Each track begs me to listen to every lyric and feel the effects of every measure. Their honesty, earnestness, and fervor leave a lasting impression and warm my heart with each listen. Not in how they sound, but in how they make me feel, the Collection reminds me of The Avett Brothers' middle albums. Tim Molloy
