We Drift Like Worried Fire
Godspeed You! Black EmperorGodspeed You! Black Emperor, “We Drift Like Worried Fire”
I wasn’t sure if I was going to listen to their new album because I wasn’t a huge fan of their last but I’m glad I gave it a chance.
Listen
10.13 | godspeed you! black emperor | the dead flag blues
it went like this:
the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair
the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze
i said: “kiss me, you’re beautiful -
these are truly the last days”
you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a fever
we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it’s the valley of death
i open up my wallet
and it’s full of blood
