I like the way it completely avoids the standard song format but retains a melodic quality and captures my mood the same way a straightforward narrative song does.
I feel the same way! It's an excellent experience front to back despite containing song from across years and years, it's so delicious and lush no matter which era the tunes are from.
Lyrics They say we can go far But they don’t how far we go With our legs on the edge And our feet on the horizon Cuz this heart is a stone And this is a stone that we throw They say we will go far But they don’t know how far… It can’t be gone We’re still right here It took so long Can’t say we felt it all Limbs parallel We stood so long We fell Tear a moment from the days That carry us on forever This push and pull is a force of a wave of time In the heat of a night We would cry you are not mine They say we can go far But they don’t know how far we’d go Cuz this heart is a stone And this is a stone that we throw It can’t be gone We’re still right here It took so long Can’t say we felt it all Limbs parallel We stood so long we fell Love’s like a pantheon It carries us on forever
They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw Put your hand on this stone, it's the stone of a home you know They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon [Verse 2] They say we can throw far but they don't know how far we throw With our legs on the edge and our feet on the horizon The heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw They say we will go far, but they don't know how far we'll go [Chorus] It can't be gone, we're still right here It took so long, can't say we heard it all Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell Tear a moment from the days that carry us on forever [Verse 3] This push and pull is the force of a wave of time In the heat of the night, we would cry, you are not mine They said we would go far, but they don't know how far we'd go 'Cause this heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw [Chorus] It can't be gone, we're still right here It took so long, can't say we saw it all Limbs parallel, we stood so long we fell Bright pyramids at night, they carry us on forever
