More Mountains

[evilentity 13,351]

Atop every mountain there's a hurdle in the sky

When at last you've found them you will understand as I

There is no solution

Life is without resolution

You must ask yourself what you really want in life

You must trust in me when I tell you it's alright

It's alright tonight

It's alright tonight

 

I remember New Year's that your everything seemd right

We had not made plans and we just drove all the whole night

Let's all go find a friend

Don't stop until the end

You must ask yourself, am I really the one?

You can't be of help if you can't have any fun

I'm your one if you want me to be

 

Please leave me be

Who are you to say [a/your?] soul won't live forever

Yeah, yeah

 

Atop every mountain there's a hurdle in the sky

When at last you've found them you will understand as I

Each breath is sent from angels

These people they are not strangers

You must ask yourself what you really want in life

You must trust in me when I tell you it's alright

It's alright tonight

It's alright tonight

Truly beautiful, my favorite. Ty for the lyrics

And I think it's 'your soul'

The lyrics, the melody, her voice. The loveliest of several lovely "new" tracks. So much so that her overuse of the word "alright" characteristic of this period doesn't even matter.

Seriously, though, I actually really fancy it. Just makes me think of a someone coming to a sense of "contentment," they're not down in the dumps, they're not over the moon; they're just "all right." Can't complain, can't brag.

 

Or in contexts like here, there's just that sweet optimism, all the while making sure to keep feet grounded as to not have too much hope for a quick recovery from a negative experience. It's not going to be perfect, and it's not going to be amazing anytime soon, but things will get all right, it's just the beginning.

 

I don't know, these May Jailer tracks are just really scrambling my brain up right meow. There's a je ne sais quoi about them that is just really something. I don't know if it's the articulation, the expression, or just that a lot of the lyrics hit home, but damn, yes.

The phrase "more mountains" comes up in Lolita during Humbert's sort of catalog of their travels through America. Part two chapter two for the LanaBoards book club lel. Almost definitely a reach because it's such a small phrase (in context: "Distant mountains. Near mountains. More mountains; [insert detailed list of mountains]") but it's sort of interesting to note.

Favorite track from these two EPs tho, tbh.

 

Also, minor correction:

 

"I remember New Years, that year everything seemed right"

[Greaser Prince 200]

I had this song on repeat a few nights ago. Her voice is soft and pretty and relaxing. Def my fav from the set it came with.

[honeymooncd 3,752]

She has a theme of mentioning "Tonight" in the era of may jailer, and looking for hope....I'm glad she's happy now

[Dark Angel 203,501]

definitely my favorite song from young like me/from the end <3
