The Hotelier - Goodness (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 13

i really need to see if i'm gonna also get a dl of Piano Player, since i just bought the vinyl from TE and not on bandcamp or itunes. i emailed them to see if i'll get sent the track.
i NEED to listen to this in my car/phone/everywhere in the world every day til this comes out

 

It's weird that they didn't include a download. Hoping it's just an oversight. But when I saw it up on Bandcamp I just paid the $1 for a download.

 

i can only imagine it's gonna take a while for them to get back to emails cuz of the influx of them they're responding to today

 

damn, they got back to me and let me know that i can't get that dl from Limited Run since they can't do it with the store. If anyone downloaded the track from bc or itunes, feel free to shoot me a dm! haha

 

man i love his vocal style on this song but they are wayyyyyyyyy too low in the mix i can barely hear him at all

 

Didn't preorder the record bc I've lived away from my player for nearly 2 years now and shipping/exchange rate kill me but I did finally buy my ticket to the tour!

 

i spend wayyyyyy too much money on this band

 

lyrics to Piano Player, keep them in this thread:

Inside your room there's 40 few
remaining figures of new moons
to curve around your axle heart
in hopes that something new will start.
They're winding down they're closing ranks
to rest another 30 days.
You lay and watch them wax and glow.
You hold them in your hand and let them go.

A kid half my age, baby's breath and meadow
sage clutched in her hands like trophy game, just
like the wild world was time, was granted home
and tender care into an awkward piece of ware
three-quarters full or quarter-drained and both
adversely sure how long they will sustain.

My eyes greet hers and hers do mine and then
the room becomes her shrine. An older madam
sets herself straight and then she smiles with 88
remembered loves and morning suns until her
woven heart was sung. Her fingers dropped like falling
rain. The entire room awash with the sustain.

You always said that you don't dance but then a
heel turn to a shadow stance. I'm rung like
sodden cloth. And the autumn leaves turn over
across your floor, into the hall and I've declined
into a crawl and you decompress and fall away
but this floor is raised on beams of trust and
there's room enough for both of us so stay.
Sustain.

Inside your room there's 40 few
remaining figures of new moons
to curve around your axle heart
in hopes that something new will start.
The things you grow are set to die.
You cling to them with knuckles white.
So wind me up, damper to floor
and I don't know if I know love no more.

 

Wow

 

Did anyone else click the "download album link" that was in the preorder confirmation email hoping they would accidentally have that accessible haha?

 

Tiny engines did use to give out immediate downloads with preorders back in the day, haha

 

lyrics are incredible wow

 

Yeah holy shit @ those lyrics

 

Absolutely.

 

Yeah it's way too loud

 

I caved and listened

Absolutely, did it two times too haha

 

Yo I actually love that Goodness Pt 1 was released before the album despite it not even being on the album. Because when I listen to it I still feel the anticipation for this record, and the song is (I'm assuming) so connected with what we're going to get. It's something I can listen to over and over again in anticipation for this record and I don't have to worry it being over played, or experiencing "single-syndrome" with it.
It's also become one of my favorite hotelier songs ever.

 

Ian linking to AbsolutePunk's 2014 EOTY list is cool.

 

Would have been funny if he had that article prepped and it was meant to post on April 2nd lol

 

Pretty interesting post made by someone affiliated with the band in the Piano Player news post.

Stream The Hotelier's "Piano Player"

 

He's the guy that runs Tiny Engines. Chuck's the best

 

oh right on. i thought it was a neat post. things like that always make me wonder how much band members lurk lol.
