It feels like you're gliding.




Also those smooth ghost notes on snare

yeah, it's a great song. the lyrics are surprisingly straightforward for b0lly, but it kind of just encapsulates a feeling of uncertainty and indecisiveness. spacy and dreamy... so good

Eh, it's kinda meh, but the album needs it to be there as the bridge between Plume and Blew Away. So in it's proper context, it's great.

8/10 for atmosphere, 4/10 for songwriting

Thumbs up Whir

I'd give the atmosphere a 10/10. The lyrics are another story, but I do love that "it's too early, the sun is sleeping" line.

I disagree. The lyrics might not earn an A+ in terms of sophistication, but songwriting is more of an intangible, wholistic thing. It's about the unexplainable way that a song comes together as a greater sum than its parts and meaningfully conveys thoughts and feelings IMHO. I wouldn't ever separate the lyrics from the music and present them as poetry or anything, but as a whole piece it's a fantastic song.

This was stuck in my head this morning. A glimpse into a kinder, gentler Pumpkins? Yet they can't help getting evil...

where did the Whirl vs Whir confusion come from? I've heard people call it both, & interchangeably.
