about

This is one of two revisited tracks on E.I.W.O.F.I.S.T. We decided to take another stab at Leave Me for a lot of reasons. It's applicability to the current record in terms of its running theme and time line seemed to be the greatest of those reasons. Leave Me is pretty much summed up in it's title... all I wanted was to be left alone. As everything crumbled and life fell apart, I felt too young to bear responsibility of rebuilding the rubble or give off the facade that the structure was somehow still in tact. I watched as my friends had the time of their lives... Running off on vacations, doing things on weekends, going out at night. They were living the lives they were supposed to be lived at that time. My life just didn't seem to add up that way. I was watching after a younger brother and sister as my Mom was in and out of rehab and my Dad was off with the woman of the month. When it would all pile up and I couldn't take the pressure anymore, I found that writing something was an amazing release from that pressure and that performing the material was an even greater relief. Leave Me was one of the songs I learned that with. All I wanted was freedom from the entanglement of the responsibilities that should not have been mine in the first place... to be covered... hidden... unseen. - Josh

lyrics

please take this canopy and drape it all over me cause i'm flailing in need of some covering it could bring me back to what i'm missing so leave I would love to start when can we start over again when can we please start And take my heart again as haphazard as you were i've calloused thin but still find me the same old sunken in antiquated overrated masquerading somethings missing And take my eyes and mouth and shut one open two to find that i'm flailing in need of some covering it could bring me back and bring me down again So leave me here and let me stay i'll be quiet and have my say instead

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
