The Wonder Years - The Hum Goes On Forever (Sept 23rd 2022) Album • Page 44

After a month of having "Low Tide" go right into "Old Friends Like Lost Teeth" when I listen to the singles, "Laura and the Beehive" between them is such nice sequencing. Also, "I know how you worry and ask around when you hear the songs," god damn.

 

Sheesh I'm about to sign up for a free VPN trial aren't I. Any recs for any that are worth paying for? Also checking in as a toddler parent ready to get wrecked.

 

Ugh I’m so jealous!

Can’t wait to listen at some point today.

 

i can't wait to scream the opener at the top of my lungs.

 

Mullvad. You can just purchase a one month credit.

 

Lol

 

i fucking LOVE the paris of nowhere. Philly forever!

 

I was not ready for Cardinals II. Holy shit.

 

In addition to what I assume is a Valencia reference on "The Paris of Nowhere," is that Shane Henderson in the bridge? Sounds enough like him and it would fit for a Philly song. Also, that "you were always looking up" at the end of the bridge sounds so familiar that I'm sure it's a reference but I can't place it.

 

Lyric from the space between, i think

 

Only an hour and fifteen till this is out where I am.

 

Oh duh, yeah that's obviously it. Thanks!

 

I'm also like 99% sure that's shane who sings it. Deff not Matt anymore

 

got the credits and there are no guest features on this one, Josh and Matt's vocals are ON POINT

 

Is Laura Dan's mom's name? Holy shit that song destroyed me.

 

Wow, really? I could have sworn one of the Instagram Q+As said something about a cool guest feature. That part totally doesn't sound like Matt to me, but he has for sure just gotten better and better on each album.

His grandmother, I believe.

 

Yeah he mentioned a song about his grandmother during the Brooklyn interview

 

I need to listen to the closer while reading the lyrics. After my first listen, Laura and the Beehive and You're the Reason I Don't Want the World to End are the two initial standouts. The most emotional gutpunches for me on the record.

 

Who is the first one to get the 'Put the work in, plant a garden, try to stay afloat' tattoo?

 

Sitting here tearing up reading everyone's reactions to this. I love this band so much.

 

would you believe I had a hand in pushing this up a day lol

 

Long time lurker, had to join in to talk about this album.

FUCK, on my second listen now. First-born due early next year. Closer was perfection.

 

fucking closer. jesus christ

 

Been planning on this since the first day I read the lyric in the press release lmao

 

Laura and the Beehive is beautiful.
