Noah and the Whale - Blue Skies
NPR’s Stephen Thompson describes Noah and the Whale’s 2009 album First Days of Spring as follows:
It’s another album that works as a full piece, a song cycle. It’s tagged as a breakup record, but it’s really more of an aftermath record. Like a flu shot for heartsickness, it injects a little bit of poison, enough to make you immune.
I haven’t heard much chatter about this band in my corner of the blog world, but this track is beautiful. Those backing vocals kill me. And the line “This is the last song that I write while I’m still in love with you.” Yee-ouch! What a gut punch.
