Song of the Day (2.15.2011)

The Antlers - "Two"

The Antlers album Hospice is one of those records that will go down as one of my favorite independent albums of all time. From beginning to end the album is a masterpiece, both lyrically and musically.

The theme of the album in general is about a relationship that's on life support and that's the reason why it was titled Hospice. This song's meaning is great and the delivery of the words are top-notch. More or less, this specific track is about his relationship going south and knowing it can't be saved. Meanwhile, he's cognitive to the fact that her past is the reason why she's, for a lack of a better term, fucked up.



I highly suggest listening to this song while reading the lyrics. The video is great, so don't get too distracted, but this song is very, very good.
