The Last Drive
from When Losing Everything Is Everything You Wanted by Departures
lyrics
I opened the car door
And climbed inside
Trembling hands
Clutching broken pride
Stare through misted glass
As my thoughts rewind
I was counting every breath
I was counting on the end
I just wanted a way out
As I pull out the street
It’s now totally out of reach
And I keep repeating ‘I don’t care’
But this is what it’s like
When losing everything
Is everything that you wanted
I should have cut out my tongue
And filled that room with silence
That silence
Would never have brought me here
But sitting in this front seat
As the mist begins to clear
I’ve never seen the rain
Look so beautiful
So now it’s like our hands never touched
It’s like we never said goodbye
I couldn’t have given it all away
Because it was never really mine
I’ll always cherish this Friday night
Holding my pride so tight
And climbed inside
Trembling hands
Clutching broken pride
Stare through misted glass
As my thoughts rewind
I was counting every breath
I was counting on the end
I just wanted a way out
As I pull out the street
It’s now totally out of reach
And I keep repeating ‘I don’t care’
But this is what it’s like
When losing everything
Is everything that you wanted
I should have cut out my tongue
And filled that room with silence
That silence
Would never have brought me here
But sitting in this front seat
As the mist begins to clear
I’ve never seen the rain
Look so beautiful
So now it’s like our hands never touched
It’s like we never said goodbye
I couldn’t have given it all away
Because it was never really mine
I’ll always cherish this Friday night
Holding my pride so tight

I just picked Making Maps as my favorite because I had to pick A track. In reality, I have no idea what track is my favorite. This entire album is amazing. I was totally blown away when I heard it and I can't stop listening to it.

I'm sorry I missed out on this band 'til now. Landscapes sound excellent, a must for any fan of UKHC in the first decade of the century. I'd put them on a playlist with early Gallows, Alexisonfire, Comeback Kid, Dead Swans, Lay It On The Line, Mercury League and HHH.

There's a clear inheritance from bands like Saetia & Envy here, but Frameworks throws in a whole lot more: a blast beat here, a little ambient horn there. This is a very polished and evocative EP, the instant soundtrack to whatever time period in which you first discovered it.
