the oh hellos - four winds (full album, seamless edit) [updated version]

[@cyankoopa8111]

Here's all of the lyrics with timestamps! Continued in the replies, because there sure is a lot! ---- 0:00, On the Mountain Trail ---- On the mountain tall Whisper to me words in a voice so small Like the one that to Elijah called Quiet as a candle and bright as the morning sun Though the fire and wind Shattered down the hills with a rage unbent And a fear that shook the firmament He was not within them, the clatter of brass and drums I know you want me to be afraid I know you want me to love you I know you want me to be afraid I know you want me to love you Still the wild wind blows Up out of the grave of an angry ghost Firing bricks from broken canon and prose To build a wall so high it reaches the heavens in the sky I know you want me to be afraid I know you want me to love you I know you want me to be afraid I know you want me to love you Still you beat your drums Raising holy war with every strum Shouting down the quiet kingdom come Brushing at your fingers, hoping you'll come around ---- 3:07, Torches ---- I got a venom like a snake running out of my mouth (Running out of my mouth, running out of my mouth) It's got you burning at the stake Innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take And Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all (Brothers of us all, brothers of us all) As he sets our torch aflame Chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create Over and over, again We keep that old wheel turning We spin it around I got a terror I can't shake pushing down on my lungs (Pushing down on my lungs, pushing down on my lungs) It's got me lying there awake with a hand on a gun while turning shadows into shapes Mother Fortuna, O, she makes sisters of us all (Sisters of us all, sisters of us all) When the faces in her wake Look more like our own than the effigies we immolate Over and over, again We keep that old wheel turning Over and over, again We lay the next spoke down Over and over, again (oceans will roll in) Over and over, again We spin it around ---- 6:33, Planetarium Stickers On A Bedroom Ceiling ----

---- 7:22, Constellations ---- I can feel it on my tongue; brick and mortar Thick as scripture, drawing lines in the sand and laying borders As tall as towers I babble on until my voice is gone This hill I'll die on is about 90 meters of bricks Coloured indigo, and inscribed with my name, and lined with cedar But the words fall flat like Cymbals crashing, like molars gnashing 'Cause like constellations a million years away Every good intention, every good intention Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array Looking for the faces, looking for the shapes in the silence All that's left for me to climb to the heavens is The chasm of the night and a matter of time But I hear the rumble as the tectonic plates start to shake And I feel my blood pounding like the beat of a drum 'Cause like constellations a million years away Every good intention, every good intention Is interpolation, a line we drew in the array Clinging to the faces, clinging to the shapes in the silence Like constellations imploding in the night Everything is turning, everything is turning And the shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light Everything you thought you knew will fall apart, but you'll be all right ---- 11:11, Notos ---- There's an eerie quiet On the southern levees With a halcyon sky and Atmosphere gone heavy (Because) There's a wind arising with the ire of Venus Tugging at the surface of the seas between us And it's catalyzing with a breath of calefaction A thunderous disturbance, and for every action, a reaction And the rush will take you away Like you're caught in the undertow And you will drown in the wake Of the things you lost to the winds of Notos But the water's rising (quicker than light and sound) From the seas within me (coming up from the ground) And I try to fight it (cumulonimbus clouds) But I drain completely (cover the sun and drown it out) Every inhale I take, swallows the ocean whole, and I am one With the hurricane, tall as the tide that laps with a rabid tongue With every exhale, I break you down with a fury, I lay the hills undone Like a dog gone untamed, bellowing out a river from my lungs And the rush will take you away Like you're caught in the undertow And you will drown in the wake Of the things you said that you can't take back, no And every word you shouldn't say Will come bubbling out of your throat But you've got no one left to blame For the things you lost to the winds of Notos You gotta let go ---- 14:29, Mandatory Evac / Counting Cars ----

[@cyankoopa8111]

---- 16:49, New River ---- It took forever and a day for the canyons and coasts to erode away By the weight of the ocean's cyclical motion they swayed And though the eons may pass as slow as the sands of an hourglass Every grain that we've counted claims that even the mountains can change Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river I know the winds from the south have the waves riled up like a hungry mouth And your stomach goes hollow at the thought that it could swallow you whole Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights, and nothing you do can slow the rising tides But the river takes her shape from every tempest she abides And like her, you'll be made new again Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river Let it come down, let it come down Let it make in you a new river **Eurus** ---- 20:32, O Sleeper ---- While the weary nations weep Awakening me from a dream I see the moonlight steal across my sheets My love is lying fast asleep Chasing its beams She stirs, and then she turns her back to me The clouds overhead open up For the wicked and just all the same And lay low the hills, so to fill Every valley below to the brim But like the sun that turns the sky Illuminating all, in time The tables in the temple will be turned on their side And just as it scorches up the dunes Beneath the height of noon The pillars of the empire will be burned, in kind And by the holy rock I stand As blessed as the sacred ram I see the trail of shoulders I've climbed over, but By god, I'll bloody up my hands With everything I am To cut away the mountains I've made And fill the dales below ---- 24:48, Dry Branches ---- ---- 25:45, Grow ---- Between the seams that line your living room A vine of ivy's pushing her way through And as she creeps along, she sinks her roots Into the cracks, and pulls 'em back until the structure's coming loose And the way the shadows on the wall are cast Look like a twisted apparition from the past And all the memories come flooding fast A wilderness you kinda miss, but were taught you ought to cut it back So you shut it out You shout it down Until you're all white-knuckled You got a lot to learn, if you'd settle down Let be what is, let be what isn't It's a natural world in which we're living And if you let it alone, it will surely grow Just leave it alone, child, and let it go And when all your ziggurats have crumbled down And every stone is thrown like seeds across the ground A new Arcadia will come around And multiply until the binds of death have been unwound So don't you shut it out Don't you shout it down And get your feathers ruffled You got a lot to learn, if you'd just settle down And let the river run its course 'Cause see, the ground all around It was always holy Leave the ruins where they fall Leave them all And let the wild take over Let be what is, let be what isn't It's a natural world in which we're living And if you let it alone, it will surely grow Just leave it alone, child, and let it go Let be what is, let be what isn't It's a natural world in which we're living And if you let it alone, it will surely grow Just leave it alone, child, and let it go

---- 29:19, Eurus ---- Spinning that stone uphill again Like atonement for a bygone sin Under the weight of it, my bones Are cracking like a dry branch in a westward wind But Zeus and his pantheon of kin Take the first nine out of every ten Minas, like lightning changing hands It all returns back to his pockets, in the end You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave Nothing we make can we bring But still the bait hanging from the string is calling my name And like the wind it slips again Out of my fingers As Fortuna sits idly by I spin her wheel with all my might Crushing my kin for warring-wage Minted from the ivory of your tooth and eye Under the table where she dines I sit hungry with my mouth foamed white Fighting for crumbs that trickle down As she finishes her cake, then takes a bite from mine You can't take any gold or rings further than the grave Nothing we make can we bring But still the bait hanging from the string is calling my name And like the wind it slips again Out of my fingers ---- 32:20, A Convocation of Fauns (A Faunvocation, If You Will) ---- ---- 33:19, Hieroglyphs ---- Stamping your heels along with the drum Praying the serpent's underneath one of 'em Like there's some villain left to defeat Instead of a dance with a rhythm and beat Cause you've been too busy thinking ahead Of where we're all going after we're dead To maybe consider our bodies are worth More than the dust that we can return To the ground again We turn that old wheel round again Well, even the great celestial hieroglyphs Are bodies of dust illuminated, and if The heavens can be both sacred and dust Oh, maybe so can the rest of us Cause I've seen the line of ocean and shore The tumbling tide of water and soil And I've seen the day's fading begin The gradient wake of the sun that spins Around again It'll burn that old wheel down in the end ---- 36:17, Passerine ---- Like carillon bells, the house of Augustus rings With the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine, they took to it Like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie And my god, it's getting hard to even hum a single thing Cause you were the song that I'd always sing You were the light that the fire would bring But I can't shake this feeling that I was only Pushing the spear into your side again See, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like Centurions than any little messiah And as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine I find that we have fewer and fewer in kind, but My palms and fingers still reek of gasoline From throwing fuel to the fire of that Greco-Roman dream Purifying the holy rock to melt the gilded seams It don't bring me relief, no it don't bring me nothing that You were the song that I'd always sing You were the light that the fire would bring But I can't shake this feeling that I was only Pushing the spear into your side again And again and again When he comes a-knocking at my door What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord When the cold wind rolls in from the north What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord When he comes a-knocking at my door What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord When the cold wind rolls in from the north What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord When he comes a-knocking at my door What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord When the cold wind rolls in from the north What am I to do, what am I to do, oh lord

**Boreas** ---- 40:40, A Kindling, Of Sorts ---- ---- 41:55, Cold ---- When the feeling leaves you It moves so slow Like the loose change from your front pocket You don’t even feel it go When the bitter creeps in To bite you whole A spectre unreflected, oh It keeps you cold When you keep your linens Like virgin snow Like a blanket of white Unbroken by the soil below The sound don’t carry Won’t rise or fall It damps the racket, chokes it back A stranglehold Ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh, ah-ooh You paved your Hades With precious stone Made an hеirloom to patricians and the rich alone And the toll for crossing I’d owе Charon Would atrophy a half of me The heart of gold, ah-ooh Well, I’m not quite ready To turn to bone To petrify the shred of life I’m holding onto There’s no peace to upset That spirit’s flown This ossified philosophizing's getting old ---- 44:30, Lapis Lazuli ---- I don’t mean to speak so collectively I know I don’t make it easy to even wanna hear it What can I say, what can I say, what can I say 'Cause the more I recite it The more you wanna fight it The more my language is sounding fabricated But if there’s one thing I know It’s either the growing is slow Or it cuts to the bone Moving too quickly So I’ll keep half of my words in my mouth Let the syllables fall out At a steady trickling I’ll be your roof caving in You don’t know what you don’t know yet Yeah, I go on forgetting it Don’t you go on forgetting it, too Don’t you go on forgetting it I don’t mean to speak so intrusively I know I don’t make it easy To even wanna see it Nothing old, nothing new But if there’s two things I know It’s that the sky looked white and the water like wine when I first met you But somewhere along the line Rayleigh scattered across my eye And I found her blue Yeah, I found her blue You don’t know what you don’t know yet Yeah, I go on forgetting it Don’t you go on forgetting it, too Don’t you go on forgetting it Don't you go on forgetting it I must have found a new cone in my eye What other lapis lazuli was hiding Behind my color blindness What did I miss, what did I miss, what did I miss ---- 48:19, Rose ---- Wars are raising for her Crusades to adore her The light of your afterword Are you losing her true nature When you loosen nomenclature When you gift another moniker? What’s true is like a sickle It’ll cut you to the middle That your rose is without a thorn But no, my mouth don’t taste of metal From the pot here to the kettle I think we got a lot we gotta learn And even though by any other name Her scent would linger sweetly, all the same Call her briar long enough And you’ll tangle up the true and the fable Your dowry, it ain’t fooling The pyrite is showing through It won’t buy you that empty tomb And no alchemic incantation For a counterfeit salvation Can appease your leviathan groom No, love’ll get you slaughtered Like a ram at the altar What is safe ain’t the same as what is good So lay compress to the aching Of your body made for breaking We’ve got a lot of breaking left to do Cause even under any other creed The crucifix and the hangman - they both agree Change comes so cheaply For those of us already at the table

---- 51:34, Smoke Rising Like Lifted Hands ---- ---- 52:31, Boreas ---- With my back on the floor Cold linoleum icing my growing pains Watch the ceiling fan turn its shape again My threads are coming loose Yeah, I’m one spoon away From setting the ends of my hair on fire If I’m kindling for a little while At least I'd feel of use Maybe then my breath could embody A wildfire starting I'd sweep up the forest floor And my body breathe life into the corners Be a darker soil Making lists, folding laundry Keeping tidy with my radio show I’d be lying if I told you I’m keeping tidy anymore Yeah, I swing from believing That maybe my working will all pay off To considering drinking with Molotov I'm halfway out the door Maybe then my brеath could embody A wildfire starting I'd sweep up the forеst floor And my body breathe life into the corners Be a darker soil Promise me, that you'll start where I end And I promise to give you everything that I am (We’ll go on and on and on) We’ll go on and on and on In the end all I hope for Is to be a bit of warmth for you When there’s not a lot of warmth left To go around ---- 56:01, Glowing ---- In the end, I’m feeling More and more There won’t be any end No ice walls No frozen firmament To clearly define The corners and lines Of a divine invention So paper-thin You see right through it But I bet When you can’t find an edge By a map half-written It could feel like the end To have to keep going The inkwells Of prophecy And cartography Dried up long ago They’re hoarse from speaking Of our studied hesitation To shoulder the weight Of our bad-bеhaving When Atlas shrugs Whose back is breaking? And I know How it feels to thе hands Heavy as the heavens A weight that could fold you To keep holding Well, you’ll stand Like you stood as a babe Tugging at the house plants: All on your own Honest and truly You’ll rise, like land Pulled up at the sound of some strange commandment A moon alight Reflecting fully And I guess It would feel like rebirth Out of some kind of dying To see yourself so glowing

I LOVE the seamless transition from "Notos" to "Madatory Evac / Counting Cars"

[@enginerd108]

REAL

[@ToLateSeam.IFoundSomeMore]

Who else is in a phase where they just wanna runaway into the woods and live there forever in like a lil house that somehow has WiFi and just vibe with the mushrooms and frogs?🍄🐸

[@Ra-lb6io]

Ans TONS of books!!

[@ToLateSeam.IFoundSomeMore]

@Ra-lb6io yes!!! Like you’re own little library in like a secret room or something lol!!!

[@viperguru2547]

And the house gets lots of natural light that’s perfect for drawing!

[@ToLateSeam.IFoundSomeMore]

@@viperguru2547 YEEEEESS!!! With a space to put your art supplies and stuff to!!!! Omg, y’all should keep adding stuff cause I wanna draw this house lol. Like, I wanna draw the whole layout and everything!!!!!

[@viperguru2547]

@ Yes omg. You totally should draw it!

[@sockatoo_]

to me, each EP has its own vibe to it. Notos is about breaking chains and leaving things behind. Eurus is about exploring new things, and discovering the truth behind old ones. Boreas is about seeing the reality of the world, and accepting yourself and your place in it. and Zephyrus is becoming whole, rediscovering a world you can feel home in. that's what it is to me, at least. beautiful songs, all of them. i'd love to hear what others think it's about.

[@sockatoo_]

re-listening to this, i'm just dumbfounded at how fascinating it all is. the oh hellos don't seem as much people as they do beings brought from another realm to tell is the tales of a world with more whimsy and magic than ours ever could have.

[@Goliath_actual]

That’s the glory of heaven friend! What they are telling is the Glory of God!

[@a.morphous66]

It's funny, the Anemoi albums are _deeply_ political. Despite their timeless sound they're heavily couched in the years from 2016 to 2020 that they were written and released. "Father Ignorance will make brothers of us all as he sets our torch aflame, chasing down the flimsy specters that we co-create," feels almost _about_ the Charlottesville marches. "In the end all I hope for is to be a bit of warmth for you when there's not a lot of warmth left to go around," is so deeply Quarantine. They're about the breaking of a worldview and the building of something new. Realizing that who you've been calling your people and what you've been calling your faith have become something that thrives on hate and fear, less of Christ and more of the Romans who killed him. And how building back from your whole world changing is long and painful, but we aren't alone, and devotion to our fellow people -- be they people we love or people we don't even know -- can fill that space more fully than any other experience on this earth. Of course, the sound is fantastical and antique, and the political commentary is dressed in a beautiful garment of folk and religion and poetic abstraction. But I think that's why the song _Boreas_ in particular is so impactful to me; it suddenly strips all that away, letting us confront the bare emotion behind it. Maggie and Tyler make such gorgeous things, but they're are also people who have dull routines and hate doing laundry and struggle with harmful coping mechanisms and sometimes have to lay on the floor because they can't bring themselves to do anything else. I think seeing them as "different" from us keeps us from enjoying this art to the fullest. It can transport us to another world, but at its core it's about finding purpose in our own.

OHMIGOSH!! THE OH HELLOS!! I LOVE THE OH HELLOS!!! 💖💖💖💖💖 Their songs are so lovely! I especially love their Dear Wormword album but their other songs are so magnificent ✨✨✨

[@lilartisticdraws]

Listening to the playlist and MMMMM YESSS Torches is still an absolute banger up to now XD ✨✨

[@midvamp]

Dear wormwood is so beautiful

[@MinosAnemos_]

i have always loved the fact that many of the songs are just like a big singular song, and you respected that so i absolutely danke u♥️♥️

[@MrNostravamos]

I was listening to Brazilian music from 1977 and ended up here. 10/10

[@undomesticatedhuman]

The Oh Hellos' lyrics also have interesting Biblical references, makes it extra cool:)

[@Almiraj]

Not only have you graced us with a SEAMLESS EDIT FOR US UN-PREMIUM SPOOTFY JAMMERS, your pfp and art have pulled me in 💚 lovely creative, you !

[@gracewlmao]

guys i'm so normal about the oh hellos i prommy (no i'm not) on a fr note. i love these albums so much and they're so close to my heart always. to me, they're each about a way that we interact with each other and ourselves. notos is about hate. eurus is about growth. boreas is about acceptance. zephyrus is about love. the infusion of politics and how they relate to the themes and to christianity will always make me want to eat drywall (/pos). if i'd found the oh hellos at age 11, i would have really needed that religious introspection. i know many adults do, too.

[@ToraGhost]

Words cannot describe how absolutely insane I go every single time the song transitions into another. Like- I’m not even kidding, I am genuinely so addicted to it😭 it is peak music tbh (I will literally never get tired of listening to this edit. Thanks for making it so I can fully enjoy the music without (as many) as interruptions!!)

[@manefestingforthenextbanne2286]

i think i found a new favorite artist

[@salve365]

Wooohoooo! Finally most of their songs! I have been searching for them for years now and now you, extremely inteligent and goodhearted person, upload this absolute bangers in one single video. I don't have enough words to describe the kindness of yours, thank you so very much!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

[@kiwinatorwaffles]

not an exact vibe, but “shallow river” by the crane wives!

[@wandering_scavenger6756]

is it just me or does it sound like there's bits of morse code in glowing, from the boreas album?

[@kiwinatorwaffles]

there is! though the oh hellos said on twitter that it doesn’t mean anything specifically; they just wanted to convey the feeling of sending a telegram

[@seineevee]

I just realized you’re the bald Xisuma Tumblr guy (or the Tumblr blog has the same user as you)

[@kiwinatorwaffles]
