Oh no what happened to us darlin?
I know we didn’t see it coming.
I thought that I would die by your side.
I thought that baby this was our life.
You said to dream so i dreamt hard
Now I don’t know you anymore.
There’s a plastic envelope
Taped to the wall beside my bed
Inside are words that say you love me
Just like my heart, I don’t know
If i could ever open it again
Cuz I built my world on all your promises
And now I’m alone… alone… alone….
Oh no what happened to you darlin?
I can’t find love in all your talking.
Last night I couldn’t look in your eyes
Afraid of all the things I might find
They’re like a map to your strange heart
And I can’t be here anymore.
There’s a plastic envelope
Taped to the wall beside my bed
Inside are words that say you love me
Just like my heart, I don’t know
If i could ever open it again
Cuz I built my world on all your promises
And now I’m alone… alone… alone….
There’s a plastic envelope
Taped to the wall beside my bed
Inside are words that say you love me
Just like my heart, I don’t know
If i could ever open it again
Cuz I built my world on all your promises

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

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
