Yeah, this song rules. It's like a Parting Ways sequel. Sonically at least, not sure about lyrics.

I wasn't expecting to like this one based on the descriptions, but this is great.

I still just want more background ambience; take half of what's going on in "River Cross" and plonk it in here

that said, maybe it's effective to give this one lots of space to breathe, since there's so much sweet sonic flourish in the rest of the album it even begins to get a little taxing

I love the second two "comes then goes" where the melody lifts higher

This is a great performance. But yea, really wished they had added more to it.

Dirty harmonica? Slide guitar? Tom waits?

anyone complaining about his voice these days should look at this as exhibit A for him really reigning it in and staying within the lines.

High or low, where’d you go
Are you stuck in the middle
A spectral invisible ghost
I’m here juxtaposed
Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes

Where you been, cannot find
A glimpse of my friend
Don’t know where or when one of us left
The other behind
Deep visions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time

Comes then goes
Comes then goes

Cannot say ‘how you been’
I can guess and conjecture
My altered perceptions unclear
Please interfere
Sadness comes with bitter sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?

Is this you, here I stand
Intense recollections of pain
Self-neglecting again
Like you I keep it in
Thought you found a game where you could win
It’s all vivisection in the end

Comes and goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

High or low, try again
She fell off the alter, a vision
you caught her but then
A woodcut in red
I wish it was not you that she had bled
Selfishness navigation with no end

Where’d you sleep, cannot find
A deeper connection in the face of rejection
I’m trying
I’m trying
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads to me to believe we missed the signs

Can I try one last time
Could all use a savior from human behavior some times
And the kids are all right
The queen of collections took your time
Sadness comes because some of it was mine

Comes then goes
Comes then goes
Comes and goes
Comes and goes

yellow moon is a really good song!

But that's not necessarily the best comparison. This feels like a campfire road song. Yellow Moon is an elegy

I'll 4 stars this one. Great melody, good lyrics. I really dig a few of the lines in the context of the song - especially the final couplets in each verse

Like images of angels in the snow
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes

Deep visions came and troubles multiplied
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time

Sadness comes with bitter sea of tears
Would some love be best had it not appeared?

Thought you found a game where you could win
It’s all vivisection in the end

I wish it was not you that she had bled
Selfishness navigation with no end

Evidence in the echoes of your mind
Leads to me to believe we missed the signs

The queen of collections took your time
Sadness comes because some of it was mine

yeah, I started working before I saw your post :( But we came up with the same lyrics. The part you were sure of is vivisection. Great word

i'm just giving an equivalent from the last album in tone and feel. this is miles and miles better.
