mewithoutYou - Bethlehem, WV Lyrics

I’m going to miss you guys so much.

To which shepherd's field did which angels descend?
And what's this about eternal non-existence at the end?
A stranger's face appeared - they say he lost his mind
(Or too much found his mind?) I hear it all the time
Vibrations rose in waves from a sea of discontent
Dad used to talk about for days, I finally tasted what he meant
Your carcass on the ground brought vultures to their eyes
My frontal lobe is shutting down
I bet you hear it all the time

To which shepherd's field did which angels descend?
Or is blessedness revealed to those of us who best pretend?
Some counterfeit ideas form ideas all their own
I watched them spread for years to my unsuspecting bones
And the nights my heart was tired you sang your saccharine song
But when your mouth was quiet was the sweetest sound of all
"Soon our ransomed souls will leave this age behind
For streets of solid gold," I hear it all the time

On a West Virginia road
I did just as I was told

Im from Bethlehem, wv Well technically its wheeling but Bethlehem is a town that i grew up in im sincerely intrigued and curious as to why he chose such a small town im almost certain he hasnt been here if he has if im wrong then color me intrigued!

For how much I lovingly cherish this song... and how many times I’ve listened to it (tally which will pale slighter in significance in not but a trifle of time) I HAD to like and leave a comment.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH it make me be like AAAAAAHHHHHHH I LUV IT

Bury me to this song

Im obsessed with this track.

Between this and "Pressure" by Muse, I'm pretty psyched about music in fall 2018.

"They say he lost his mind, or too much found his mind" that is so brilliantly poetic I still can't quite get over it

@Branden Bauer fuck

Grew up in Bethlehem, WV. Weird to see it in a song.

I lived in North Platte, NE. Talk about a trip listening to Red Cow.

I'll have to find it on the map, we just moved to Beckley, WV from Montana. Pastor of the church we went to in Kansas sent me this song just now.

Dude i shit you not i was raised im Bethlehem on orchard lane i still live in wheeling in elm grove

@Justin Yoho The first time I drove through Wheeling I couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful I think the town was. This is coming from a touring musician from East Texas, I'm used to never ending flat pastures.

Loving this song

This band has genius

I really want the section from 2:50 to go on forever. This and August 6th are the highlights for me. Not sure about the others yet...

Joel Julian same everything exactly what you said

This is a great year for music!

You check Cursive's new release?

Awesome album suggestion! Have you heard Atmosphere's new album Mi Vida Local?

They're killing it. Really glad they seem to be taking Pale Horses and blossoming off that album with this and Julia. Needed a strong release this year and I finally have one.

Fucken beautiful
