back at it again bois [Verse 1: Dan Boeckner] We were lost on the map We marked our path but we can't get back And here on the beach The night believes it is endless All is calm now Seconds fade but the centuries remain, love We are standing [Chorus: Dan Boeckner] Against the day Against the day [Verse 2: Dan Boeckner] You can walk into town See the same old scene always going down Along the arcade A thousand flowers bloom and fade All is calm, love Every change is a brand upon the brain here We are standing [Chorus: Dan Boeckner] Against the day Against the day [Bridge: Spencer Krug] Friend, isn't it so strange How the only things that change Are the ones upon the surface The restless moss upon the grave Seems they'll always love the sun Seems they'll always need one another Seems they'll always turn and run At the sight of our blood-covered countenance [Verse 3: Dan Boeckner] All is gone now Seconds fade but our hearts will still remain, love They are endless [Verse 4: Dan Boeckner] I will empty my head into the night Under the gaze of Orion Hand in the hand, together we'll walk Into the jaws of the sun, I know All is gone now Our only crime was living past our prime, love And standing [Chorus: Dan Boeckner] Against the day

[@martincampbell2208]

Are Dan and Spencer both signing verse 3?

[@qriminal1648]

Never a bad song! These guys seem to get better without compromising their sound and that is rare.

[@qriminal1648]

@Vincent H. I agree. Mt zoomer is a classic, and Expo '86 is also verrry solid front to back.

[@benjaminallensmith6218]

The great thing about Wolf Parade is you can choose any of their albums and be satisfied. Apologies and Cry Cry Cry are my favs but without the others you never get bangers like Pobody’s Nerfect, Animal in Your Care, Kissing the Beehive... I think you get it.

[@joshuabrookshire5554]

Such depth in every release- not many pedestrian tracks in the whole catalog- you love to see it folks

[@gregshortall]

Digging the Synthwave vibes

[@3aknanangy]

Yesterday was a very very bad day for me, and I thought nothing would fix things up today, but here we are. Thank you guys for this song.

[@yellowgorilla]

This makes my blackened heart happy.

[@katekennedy2320]

Wow! It's really true. You never disappoint. Even with all the changes in sound and style out there; your still true. LOVE THIS. LOVE WOLF PARADE. You people helped me thru some dark times.

[@sauces_official]

fantastic section with the bridge

[@margaretelise616]

[@stangable413]

Heard this song years ago but back to say I love it still

[@sandwichbubble3774]

Growing more eager for that new album by the day.

[@losangulos]

This is the most amazing song. This is the reason im alive, to witness shit like this.

[@DHPearson1]

If you were wondering where this video image comes from its a full on tribute to The Replacements - -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ2cfIRngtqVbLM

[@haltingpassion]

Everytime you put out an album, I remember what I'm looking for in music.

[@Goodywagon]

Superb. I love these dudes so much. Newest Operators is good as well.

[@BostonBB]

[@aidanheaney5301]

Litteraly my favorite band so glad to have the pleasure of being aw to listen to this

[@GhengisJohn]

Ah man, it's nice to see Wolf Parade lives.

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"When I am lit up, when I am humble, ego would have me use words that keep me from speaking for someone that isn't me. There is no we to me, there is not everybody nor everyone when I am not one with all. There is I. There isn't is or was. I have worn a clear mind and the seconds filled the tube of my brain with smoke. (signs, logos and commercials beat down the door with a flood that King Cash knew wasn't immune to floods) ,dan'

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"Dan you say everyone and everybody too much. Speak for yourself, try to whittle yourself down to one man and then speak for him." ,love. ,dan'

[@jeremypoythress1218]

Wolf parade is my favorite Canadian rock band.also they have an awesome family band tree of musicians.

[@mitchellmcmullen7552]

Factssss man hopefully they’re related to Ladyhawkkk!

[@adrianmunoz7646]

Don't know why but the intro to this always makes me think of Kevin Bacon in the movie Death Sentence where he buzzes his hair in front of the mirror before he goes and gets revenge on his family's killers

[@andybeerwald8524]

Boeckner continues to amaze

[@simonfrancoeur3796]

Fits a bit too much those strange times we are going through.

[@ScottsShots]

This song reminds me that in the end, humanity will always destroy itself--and inevitably rebuild.

[@adolfo9986]

wow

[@Ayjay11]

If you are reading this... Congratultions, you have great taste in music

[@xxgamer420babexx]

[@indiecyborg]

Amazing!

[@ctnova99]

Great track gents 👍🏻

[@theeightiesarebackofficial]

Hahahaha you got me there when i first heard the nintendo intro! I went WTF? lol! Awesome song guys!

[@matthewsnyder674]

After perusing that opening scrawl, methinks Boeckner might've read CJ Hopkins's *Zone 23* 🙌🏼

[@desireeivegbuna1]

Awesome

[@kephalopod3054]

Big toes up!

[@aidangriffin8183]

This is great.....yet again....!!!!

[@rockcurrent7171]

a great track 💥

[@andrewramey5353]

So similar to Deastro - Light Powered. Love it!

[@bloopboop9320]

I just posted the same thing. Yeah, when I first heard this song I thought I accidentally put Light Powered in the playlist.

[@lerabot]

YES!

[@the-bottom-of-a-black-hole-.]

"Nobody is going to stop me from or for doing this?" ,dan' asks good God unsuredly. "Nope." He replied. "Okay then. Put me in there." I said." ,dan' (assure me don't reassure me)

[@EYliaster]

Thomas Pynchon, is that you?

[@victoriangirl83]

Perfect

[@heusker]

This video is almost exactly the same as the video for The Replacements "Bastards of Young."

[@dscott_]

👍 need another divine fits album now

[@IANinALTONA]

Fuck, yeah!!!

[@MichaelRossMurphy]

Great track. Any reference to the Thomas Pynchon novel?

[@MindlessTurtle]

I could see Miles Blundell playing this song on the Ukulele.

[@donoharm935]

Pugnax is actually the wolf in Wolf Parade. And the song is definitely connected to the novel, even if they didn’t intend it.

[@yrmthr]

The scrolling text in the intro is a reference to The Running Man film?

[@electricfive1]

Please play a concert in Ottawa.. Bluesfest wasn't enough

[@lynsey7761]

Yes! I agree!

[@miguelachando]

Great track! 🖤 🇵🇹

[@maggienificent]

aw heck yea

[@Ayjay11]

found this thanks to alt nation 🙏💞

[@satyrme]

Welcome back to the '80s.

[@electricfive1]

Fucking banger

[@foreskin]

Sheetz gang

[@bloopboop9320]

Reminds me a lot of Deastro's "Light Powered" for some reason.

[@pisstapeexpert]

God Bless WP

[@kevd]

Am I the only one hearing Gowan - A Criminal Mind in this song? 🤔

[@dannytidal4268]

ļoti labi

[@shipy891]

Voice is a bit like David

[@curtish.129]

Bastards of Young by The Replacements. Same video

[@jenesoleil3922]

Great song. I think I’m picking up a Bauhaus influence (for those of you who are that “old”...)

[@jousepaula]

Meu filho de 2 anos e meio descobriu e adorou essa música e eu também! Ouvi outras musicas do EP e adorei!!!

[@noestreet760]

What video does this remind me of? The Pretenders? Does anyone know?

[@noestreet760]

[@andym9615]

Wow, do I get to be the first one to call out the Bastards of Young nod? /watch?v=fl9KQ1Mub6Q

[@MusicForThePeopleofGenerationY]

No more supporting wolf parade with money

[@AD-uk6kr]

Too bad they had to become not much when they came out with that EP in '16, and remain that for three years now. I want my Wolf Parade back.

[@aidangriffin8183]

A D what do you mean?? They are evolving and becoming better musicians.....and the shows are far superior to before the break

[@caseyfurlane4200]

And they came out with Cry Cry Cry LP in 2017. ?
