This song is so detailed, which is sometimes more difficult to do when the singer isn’t really singing so much as speaking with a kind of melody. I especially like how “not entirely alone” is the last line and echoes at the start, accompanying the walk and the scarecrows at both the beginning and the end. Not to mention how interesting the instrumentals are, with their layers and how they match the voice and form motifs.
I like this song for a number of reasons, but the one that made me smile first, honestly, was "i wouldn't know God from... Eve" i was so used to expecting a man's name because of "God is a man" rhetoric being so ingrained in me even when i dont want it but hearing that was like... "I didn't even notice how many more options there are before than what i was taught" This is great
Lyrics from Genius They can see us for miles, dressed up like scarecrows and bandits Carrying everything we own and walking in groups along the edges of the road to Hell Sticking our noses up at the passing cars Turning down rides, shuttin' our eyes To keep the dust out And while we might have forgotten everything else that happened between our birth and our death No one ever, ever, ever, ever forgets their name And your name Your name is a two-syllable word meaning "gift from god" Did you know that? Now, I wouldn't know God from Eve, frankly I-I haven't met God myself, I don't know anyone that has so I can't vouch for her gift-giving abilities Maybe she put a lot of thought into you Or maybe you were something she picked up at the 24-hour petrol station at the last minute, on the way to the party Maybe she supplemented you with a couple of bottles of cheap white wine and accidentally-on-purpose left one of the bottles in the car Or maybe, she made you herself, in her spare time, out of glitter an-an-and clay and left-over scraps of dying stars Maybe she didn't name you at all, your name just was An observation and a statement of fact Here, here they are, a gift from god Now, I don't know you Gift-From-God but I don't need to know you to know that I trust you And I think that we would do well to stick together Because, ya know, down here, the winters kill one-in-ten And the summers wipe out most of the rest And bands of angels stalk the ridges at high noon looking for the sick and dying to separate from the herd and digest And I can distract the vultures while you sneak in behind them and raid their nests And we can keep watch while the others sleep and take turns schlepping at the sins that we've yet to confess And they will see us For miles Dressed up like scarecrows And bandits Carrying everything we own Walking in groups along the edges of the road to hell Not entirely alone

I've been listening to this again and again since I found it. It's time to rise.

I know right!!! I was so shocked (in the best way possible) and in awe when God was referred to as she!!!
I’m a Good Omens fan so I didn’t notice that detail, lol

"Now, I don't know you, Gift-From-God." 🤠💜
Lyrics from Genius
They can see us for miles, dressed up like scarecrows and bandits
Carrying everything we own and walking in groups along the edges of the road to Hell
Sticking our noses up at the passing cars
Turning down rides, shuttin' our eyes
To keep the dust out
And while we might have forgotten everything else that happened between our birth and our death
No one ever, ever, ever, ever forgets their name
And your name
Your name is a two-syllable word meaning "gift from god"
Did you know that?
Now, I wouldn't know God from Eve, frankly
I-I haven't met God myself, I don't know anyone that has so I can't vouch for her gift-giving abilities
Maybe she put a lot of thought into you
Or maybe you were something she picked up at the 24-hour petrol station at the last minute, on the way to the party
Maybe she supplemented you with a couple of bottles of cheap white wine and accidentally-on-purpose left one of the bottles in the car
Or maybe, she made you herself, in her spare time, out of glitter an-an-and clay and left-over scraps of dying stars
Maybe she didn't name you at all, your name just was
An observation and a statement of fact
Here, here they are, a gift from god
Now, I don't know you Gift-From-God but I don't need to know you to know that I trust you
And I think that we would do well to stick together
Because, ya know, down here, the winters kill one-in-ten
And the summers wipe out most of the rest
And bands of angels stalk the ridges at high noon looking for the sick and dying to separate from the herd and digest
And I can distract the vultures while you sneak in behind them and raid their nests
And we can keep watch while the others sleep and take turns schlepping at the sins that we've yet to confess
And they will see us
For miles
Dressed up like scarecrows
And bandits
Carrying everything we own
Walking in groups along the edges of the road to hell
Not entirely alone
