The golden age of Thee Oh Sees. I am now entering my mid 30's, this is the soundtrack of my early 20's. Great stuff.

Hey it's Mike here, this combo of Destroyed Fortress > Gold was something we toyed with for a season. Gold was never recorded for a proper release and this is a pretty good version! xo MS

How the fuck does John even come up with his lyrics?! everything he does is so good. Like, "destroyed fortress reappears" where the hell does that come from? I'd really like to know.

i think its a concept that runs along his whole castle face theme. i've always imagined it to sort of symbolize our ego. or how we live in the walls we built from our life experiences
@joshpitts92827 жыл бұрын
and destroyed fortress would I guess be like death of ego.. like in some breakthrough experience. idk though.. just what comes to mind when i think about it
@rocketsalad3 жыл бұрын
I always interpreted it like the castles at the end of every level in the original Mario Bros. for NES - like, every level, you get to the end and swipe the flag and the castle goes boom and you head off to the next level... where it happens all over again i.e. the destroyed fortress reappears. Anyone else? Or am I just crazy? ;/

Doesn't rainbow reserve the right to say no Humans, Iceburgs, Icepicks, machines say so Be somebody, see(?) somebody, eat(?) somebody idk if these are the actual lyrics to gold, but I spent a while trying to figure it out: A once golden right It will appear at my door And as night drones the freezing city I will smile and say hello It is almost sunrise Almost time to stay away It is almost sunlight Almost time to stay away

I believe the first line to Gold is “A once golden right” Other than that those are accurate lyrics

@josh pitts - Look: I know this word gets thrown around a lot these days, and I certainly don't want to contribute to its overuse and add to the problem, I don't want to be accused of taking the spotlight off the first responders and frontline workers and teachers and garbagemen, but... Hero.
