Now the dark ages are back
We all spread the disease,
brought us down to our knees
Now the dark ages are back
No world leader pretend,
could predict such an end
And in all my days of traveling on,
no it never crossed my mind
While I tended my garden, wool in ear,
from where I stood it seemed fine
but now the dark ages are back
All the prophets wear black,
love’s gone under attack
Now the dark ages are back
Ice is melting away,
we just shut up and play
Money, poverty, dignity
is a mix up hard to shake
We’ve been stomping this ground
for a million years,
now the earth’s about to break
I can feel it, I can see it falling apart,
it strays and bends
I can’t heal it, I can’t rip it up
and just start over again
Lend a friend a hand
Can you hear me?
We’re stuck in the dark here,
no light & no way out
Can you tell me?
Is it way too late or
too hard to make it right?
Lord, don’t let me down!
Now the dark ages are back
Corrupt kings in the wings
is what tomorrow will bring
Now the dark ages are back
The new mornings in mourn
how take care of their newborns?

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

Cermony's Ross John Farrar experiments with synths, bass, & percussion to make music similar to that from the '80s homemade tape scene. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 30, 2023
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
