The Antlers - "Palace"

[@dudu277]

its not a song, its something else. its the universe echoing my heart. thank you.

[@cosmicblaze4547]

“When heaven has a line around the corner, we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now and carve a palace from within.” Damn this song is beautiful.

[@hendrabp8234]

Those lines are so fuckin beautiful

[@JaspersDadders]

Gotta sing along with this gem: "You were simpler, you were lighter when we thought like little kids. Like a weightless, hate-less animal, beautifully oblivious before you were hid inside a stranger you grew into, as you learned to disconnect. Now he hangs your mirrors separately, so one can’t show you what the other reflects. When he heard I was on his tail, he emptied your account and hid a part of you that’s so invaluable (the part of you unsellable at any amount). He left the tallest peak of your paradise buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell, but I swear I’ll find your light in the middle, where there’s so little late at night, down in the pit of the well. Then when heaven has a line around the corner, we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now and carve a palace from within. We won’t need to take a ton of pictures, It won’t be easy to believe the day we wake inside a secret place that everyone can see."

Muchas Gracias Amigo.

[@dudu277]

so beautiful it hurts.

'Familiars' by The Antlers is one the few albums that I consider to be absolutely flawless. This is a perfect album from front to back. It's one of those albums where there's not a single song I don't enjoy. 10/10

[@mc_kublai]

Human Being One of the most underrated albums I have ever heard.

[@adrianwolmarans]

this sounds like your heart breaking slowly

[@audreym823]

“beautifully oblivious before you were hid inside the stranger you grew into as you learned to disconnect” damn

[@yourvigilante]

Saw them 2 days ago and they are still stuck in my head. Best show I've ever seen, so much beauty and fragility and power and love. They are the kings of music.

[@alexcolclough7814]

"Then when heaven has a line around the corner, we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now and carve a palace from within." - Powerful. What a beautiful song and album.

[@thepoet1745]

For me, this song is about this amazing, wondrous, beautiful woman with whom I won the greatest lottery of all to have as my Mom; she who was so many things to so many people, the loss of her causing immeasurable grief. And now, we all begin to find she's still here with us somehow, and so we begin a new relationship with her, carving a palace from within. (And if there is a heaven, no way should she have had to wait around and hope to get in.) “When heaven has a line around the corner, you shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now and carve a palace from within.”

[@Stavvy0]

Marla H I lost my father late last month, just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

[@Jas7cam]

Tears just came to my eyes while reading this. So beautiful

[@mnchls]

Spellbinding. This really did put me in a trance. Felt weightless for a moment. This record is gonna be wonderful, I just know it.

[@EmmaDancesNever]

and so it was!

[@laurenxXist]

This will always be one of my favorite albums, I listen to it almost anytime I can’t fall asleep

[@brandonbanks1797]

I love The Antlers so much. They have the ability to channel emotions so purely through their music and lyrics. And while Hospice is incredible, I'm happy that they've moved from those bleak images toward exploring more positive emotions (Burst Apart and Familiars are way more optimistic in my ears), although always tinged with a bit of melancholy and sadness. But before I get carried away: I wanted to recommend the artist Seaside to anyone who enjoys this song. They remind me of The Antlers in their lush soundscapes and honesty, and I find them to be way underexposed, so I thought I'd share them :) listen to 'Sweetest Love' or 'Away'. And have a nice day!

[@15steps64]

I agree with your comment 100 percent. the best moments of Familiars (like the end of this song or Parade) are just so uplifting and life-affirming. also thanks for the tip about Seaside, I've listened to some songs and will be listening to more surely - great find!

[@gazjones3549]

A very good friend bought me the CD. It's the most beautiful thing i've heard in ages. Truly something very special indeed.

[@christophermartino7099]

I just fell in love with music all over again after heard this.

[@jjhollmann3371]

Wow. Easily one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard in a while.

[@scottfer1]

This brings tears to my eyes. Lyrics so swollen with emotion and meaning I can't comprehend that is possible to make something this beautiful. The message is almost the epiphanic shove everyone needs a little of.

[@ffejbboc]

The music, lyrics, singing, videography, images, and atmosphere all came together on this one. This is ART.

[@thatONEmachine]

I saw a comment mentioning that it was 2023 at the time. 2024 now and just discovering this masterpiece.

[@SillsandSmith]

This song is absolutely astonishing in its beauty. So looking forward to the new album.

[@PendaSaless]

music so good it overwhelms me with nostalgia and makes me wanna cry ❤

[@marcellatoccano3625]

Grazie. Bellissimo🙏

[@Ivelion1]

It's the kind of song you have to take a break from after listening to just internalise what you've just heard and somehow...rest your mind a bit,because the emotions it evoked are so strongly felt ,it's overwhelming..

[@tacoface7047]

man I never heard an instrument cry before

[@halcyondigest7318]

Swans, Sun Kil Moon, Panda Bear, Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, St. Vincent, The Unnatural World, Silver Mt. Zion... now The Antlers? Shaping up as a very good year.

[@TommasoBilancia]

I've grown, as a listener, with the evolution of your Music... I'm very glad to go through this beautiful path with you.

[@thatsmyboye]

Lyrics from their tumblr antlersmusic.tumblr.com/post/81303509279/palace You were simpler, you were lighter when we thought like little kids. Like a weightless, hate-less animal, beautifully oblivious before you were hid inside a stranger you grew into, as you learned to disconnect. Now he hangs your mirrors separately, so one can’t show you what the other reflects. When he heard I was on his tail, he emptied your account and hid a part of you that’s so invaluable (the part of you unsellable at any amount). He left the tallest peak of your paradise buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell, but I swear I’ll find your light in the middle, where there’s so little late at night, down in the pit of the well. Then when heaven has a line around the corner, we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now and carve a palace from within. We won’t need to take a ton of pictures, It won’t be easy to believe the day we wake inside a secret place that everyone can see.

[@addywait5992]

I've been waiting so long for them to come and do a show in my state. I'm so excited.

[@DMDemonbane]

My most anticapated album of the year. I get the feelin it's going to be awesome.

[@dad641]

[@DMDemonbane]

Really?? How can you tell?

[@dad641]

Patrick Bateman because I went through all the comments with "Newest" filter and your comment was at the end

[@wtfarockfish]

[@patrickkilcoyne3315]

The antlers have always had a place in my heart since uprooted. This is lovely and makes me happy!

[@resaurus5446]

[@distantandvague]

The success I feel that the Antlers will achieve with Familiars is well deserved.

[@heavendreamful]

[@ursuladraag588]

A never ending subject of a broken home

[@TheVickers03]

Same here!

[@Steoandnoodles67]

I think this is one of their best songs. :)

[@fabripav]

YES

[@mattjarvie6443]

Love this song, but in some ways it reminds me of something you would hear on soft rock radio back in the early 90s.

[@oasisbeyond]

+Matt Jarvie Really? I don't think so. 90's were very different.

[@KS-ic5yq]

Hi Matt, could you give me some song as example? Thanks ;)

[@mattjarvie6443]

Katarína Feriancová It kind of reminds me of the song 'Get Here' by Oleta Adams.

[@KS-ic5yq]

Yes, that song is similar and I have to say that the voice of Oleta is more amazing :)

[@lavandrix]

Carve that palace!

[@pandabear104]

OMG OMG OMG It soars!

[@BilisNegra]

Back when URBEX wasn't so big in the content creation scene, this really got me. That deep, desolate feeling.

[@bowdownORbringthawar]

They should put Antlers in movie trailers.

[@rrmusic68]

grande canzone

[@FrenchExits]

My god, this makes me want to cry

[@ursuladraag588]
