#dear wormwood by the oh hellos

[severevoiddragon]

Listening to the Oh Hellos' albums in order for the first time in. Months. Has made me appreciate the work gone into making the sorry of each album. Like. They all blend into one big song split up only by the end of the track. Especially Dear Wormwood and Through the Deep Dark Valley

Dear Wormwood and Zuko my dearly beloved :’(((

Just the lyric “I name you my enemy!” means everything to me, especially in the context of him

This whole song SCREAMS zuko and want you all to know this.

#I KNOW WHO I AM NOW! I KNOW WHO I WANT TO BE! #dear wormwood #dear wormwood by the oh hellos #zuko #atla #atla zuko #zuko atla

Is there any chance you could make a web weaving of wanting to be a better parent than one’s own? Like a protective individual wanting to spite a bloodline of pain to foster love and care to their own child? To be better that one’s own parents? I think a web weaving of this would be gorgeous!

man it makes me really sad when people ignore the religious theming of soldier poet king to be like “well its about my blorbo/dnd character now” bc like...dear wormwood is such a deeply religious album religion and god are so central to the whole thing that it feels really like...disingenuous to try to erase the religious themes of any of the songs. like you are looking at this beautiful piece of art about love and heartbreak and the apocalypse and god and intentionally discarding a central theme so it can be more easily consumed. why did you listen to the christian indie folk rock band if you didn’t want to hear christian indie folk rock. im not even christian but it bothers me

#dear wormwood is one of my favorite albums of all time so i have very strong feelings on it #like i am fully muslim but like the oh hellos get it #the oh hellos #chatters #edit: hey sorry turning reblogs off on this for a bit

[lauriemarch]

i owe The Oh Hellos at least 14% of my whimsical spirit

EVERYONE I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING REALLY COOL

So these are the Anemoi album covers, right? Do you notice a similarity between all of them?

Yes, they all have animals surrounded by a gold ring on them. Obviously there is a lot of symbolism involved with these specific animals and their respective albums, but that’s a whole other conversation.

Right now I want to point out the gold ring— more importantly, how is it changing as the albums progress?

In Notos, the thicker portion of the ring is in the bottom right corner.

In Eurus, that portion is in the top right corner.

In Boreas, it’s in the top left corner.

And in Zephyrus, it’s in the bottom left corner.

THE RING IS GOING IN A CIRCUIT!!!

The thick portion of the ring is moving counterclockwise with each album! And if you go back to Notos after Zephyrus, it’ll be right back at where it started!

This is yet another symbol of the Anemoi albums’ themes of change, cycles, etc. AND IT’S HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT!

How COOL is that??? I just noticed!!

This is even crazier when you add on the fact that the final song you listen to, after going through all the albums, is Rounds.

And what is the ring doing? MAKING ROUNDS!! Going around and around as you keep replaying the albums, repeating the cycle of summer to fall to winter to spring to summer over and over again just as The Oh Hellos intended to convey :)

#I LOVE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL HERE CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS #so much care is put into their music ugh I love them #you could also interpret the ring moving counterclockwise as the nonlinear path of change! bc it’s not going in the traditional direction! #the oh hellos #oh hellos #ttddv #through the deep dark valley #dear wormwood #the oh hellos ep #the oh hellos lyrics #the oh hellos are amazing #notos #eurus #boreas #zephyrus #anemoi albums #four winds albums #folk music #indie music #indie folk #folk rock #music stuff #music to listen to #songs to listen to #song recs

now I am not the fool I was when I was younger

crocodile eyes, I have seen how you hunger

fluttering your lashes like ashes and embers

warm and bright as fire devouring timber

no, I cannot trust what you say when you're grieving

so my love, I'm sorry, but still I am leaving

- Exeunt, The Oh Hellos

If they don’t play Thus Always To Tyrants at my funeral I’m not going.

Izzy Hands and Ed Teach

You have always been there in my mind

But now I understand you

And I will not be part of your designs

I know who you are now

And I name you my enemy

I know who I am now

I know who I want to be

I want to be more than

This devil inside of me

-The Oh Hellos, Dear Wormwood

Izzy knows that if he cannot kill his god, his god will not want him around. Izzy takes the gun, wraps weak fingers around it, and tries to do his god proud.

But it does not work. The gun goes off, sending pain ricocheting through Izzy's skull, and his head does fall back on the pillow behind him. His god gives a soft sigh, says that he loved Izzy, best he knew how, and exits from Izzy's prison, this ninth circle of hell.

Blackbeard leaves. Izzy Hands remains, pain pounding excruciating through his forehead. He has lost his leg. He came seconds, a mere hairsbreadth difference in the placement of the gun barrel, from losing his life.

It is in this moment, as he tries to breathe through the pain, the weight of his god's condemnation, that Izzy finally understands that if a god demands that a man die but that man wishes to cling to life, he must learn how to outlive his god.

If Blackbeard condemned him to the ninth circle, then it is time for Izzy to earn his sentence.

-aletterinthenameofsanity, bury me as it pleases you (but these bones never rested while living)

Well, @aletterinthenameofsanity just posted a writing update and mentioned that the Dear Wormwood album was extremely Edizzy-coded so I started relistening to it (especially the songs I've never heard before, such as Dear Wormwood itself) and yep, she's really not wrong! I listened to this song and COULD NOT unsee the Edizzy of it all. As I eagerly wait for the Izzy amnesia fic, I wanted to put out another Edizzy moodboard because their toxic, religiously devoted dynamic scratches such an itch in my brain!

when an album tells a story that weaves throughout the songs but the songs can also stand alone just as beautifully as they are together.

#ok so i actually only know of one album like this off the top of my head. #dear wormwood #the oh hellos #but STILL #whats the name for it. i know there is one. #music

[ourstaturestouchtheskies]

okay I haven't done a poll in a while so here's one lol

*gender neutral

I figured I'd do this since I have one for lord huron and two for florence. it was harder to pick out distinct characters for this, but I hope you still enjoy!

(and yes I know some of these are characters/figures from outside the oh hellos universe to which the band is making allusions, but just think about them in the context of the oh hellos' music)
