lyrics

SMILE & WAVE

We broke the wedding bells to make the rings
We burned the list of our favorite things
We laid the flowers out, petals and thorns
We smashed the bottles and kept all the corks

You’re beautiful, I must say
I’m head over heels
Clicking my feet three times
There’s no place….
If I hadn’t gunned straight for the sun
We’d want answers
It’s better to know than just to
Show up, smile, and wave

Displayed our renegade for cheers and looks
Liars stab shiny pins - and tiny hooks in what might have been
Stealing memories taking form
From fairytales never born

While they’re building love on fault lines
Castles made from sand and mud
We’ll fill our glasses with the tide’s wine
Rising higher with the flood

Places revealed to those seeking resuscitation, rejuvenation, decompression, atonement. Hidden Hospitals’ iconic mark captures the band’s foundational vision: obscured within the double “H,” is a universal symbol for aid, while their sound is CPR for rock and roll’s dying aesthetic. ... more

You and I
by OBROTHER

supported by 11 fans who also own “Smile & Wave”

A darker and more expansive album for an already dark and expansive band. You & I is the aural equivalent of moving through the depths of an empty forest at midnight thrownofan

blackwing is still my favourite cloudkicker release but subsume sure is up there. I think I prefer the original to the remaster honestly (it's been a while though, I'll have to listen again soon) katsumashi

Sludge, Shoegaze, Atmospheric, Heavy Metal, Alt-metal, you name it. This album has it all, and it is perfect. It came out during a rough time period of my life and others lives too. It's been the soundtrack for all of my pain. Thank you Hum tawper
