I was a rain cloud, I was a cold front
I was the snow and the ice on the beach
Just a chilly rebuke from a temperate climate
Of your vernal headstrong eagerness to overreach
Send all your friends to beat a path to my front door
With mousetraps, metatheater, and math too crooked to ignore
I just want to live in certainty
But I want to die in irony
I want to do defiantly
Most everything you won’t
Lord have mercy, because I don’t
You were a quick fix, you were a long shot
A deus ex machina, a skeleton key
The drag anchor of conscience and the unrequested answer
To a question that would never have occurred to me
Now all our friends would sell you out to have me back
And send your tender heart to shipwreck on everything I did to try to leave it intact
I just want to live in certainty
But I want to die in irony
I want to do defiantly
Most everything you won’t
Lord have mercy, because I don’t
If the wind is from the south, well then it may not be impossible
If from the north, there’s not a chance
I just want to live in certainty
But I want to die in irony
I want to do defiantly
Most everything you won’t
Lord have mercy, because I don’t

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath. sig

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
