lyrics
1st of October, the summer’s over
The leaves are falling all around my door
The midnight walking, early morning talking
Can’t you hear us whispering, walking across your floor
Walking on your floor
Well, I’m going deeper, my brother’s keeper
I’m looking out for him the best I can
He’s getting older, the year is colder
Got to lean a little closer now and hear what he’s saying
Hear what he says
We’ll go out rambling all through the brambling
Long shadows falling far out ahead
The rose hips have grown now, the year is in slowdown
Your long hair and long dress, let them fall for me
Let them fall for me
And will you wait for me to come home?
Will you wait for me?
Brother, put that weight on me
Brother, put that weight on me
Great works don’t lie there, grind up and dry there
They wait for impatiently your hands to find
Leaf through the pages, can’t you feel the ages
Rise up like dust now in the sunlight there
In the sunlight
And will you wait for me to come home?
Will you wait for me?
Brother, put that weight on me
Brother, put that weight on me
Sister, put that weight on me
Sister put that weight on me
I’m going deeper, my brother’s keeper
I’m looking out for him the best I can
The leaves are falling all around my door
The midnight walking, early morning talking
Can’t you hear us whispering, walking across your floor
Walking on your floor
Well, I’m going deeper, my brother’s keeper
I’m looking out for him the best I can
He’s getting older, the year is colder
Got to lean a little closer now and hear what he’s saying
Hear what he says
We’ll go out rambling all through the brambling
Long shadows falling far out ahead
The rose hips have grown now, the year is in slowdown
Your long hair and long dress, let them fall for me
Let them fall for me
And will you wait for me to come home?
Will you wait for me?
Brother, put that weight on me
Brother, put that weight on me
Great works don’t lie there, grind up and dry there
They wait for impatiently your hands to find
Leaf through the pages, can’t you feel the ages
Rise up like dust now in the sunlight there
In the sunlight
And will you wait for me to come home?
Will you wait for me?
Brother, put that weight on me
Brother, put that weight on me
Sister, put that weight on me
Sister put that weight on me
I’m going deeper, my brother’s keeper
I’m looking out for him the best I can

A Light for Attracting Attention
by The Smilesupported by 30 fans who also own “Brother's Keeper”
I’m a big Radiohead fan and this album is kind of like a new Radiohead album. However, I feel that The Smile will prove to be an exciting project in its own right and I look forward to whatever new music they may release in the future.

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
