Bigger Sky

from Silo by The Altogether

supported by

Alrihkh I like the simple melody of this song. The lyrics are fairly easy to relate to, especially since I’m a country-boy at heart. Off the grid is where I’m meant to be. I only opted for the one song, but the whole album has a good upbeat feel to it. Somewhat like a Jack Johnson vibe. 7+/10. Favorite track: Bigger Sky.

lyrics

I’ve been scraping my own sky
And I forgot how to ask why
I had more room for thoughts like these
But they just vanished in the breeze

I’ve been painting on my walls
Just to see some waterfalls
I kicked my boots off and dove in
But I’ve forgotten how to swim

And I don’t need someone to talk to
I don’t need a friend
I just need a road I can walk to
And wherever it ends
I hope I can lay my hat there
And call it my home
I hope it leads me out of the city
To a pretty little place of my own

And I’ve never had the room to dream to fly
So I’ve gone out searching for a bigger sky

I’ve been looking side to side
To find the lane I’m told is mine
But it’s hard for all these cars to pass
On roads of dirt and fields of grass

And I don’t need someone to talk to
I don’t need a friend
I’m trying to rewind the clock to
The start of the end
When did I plant the seed here?
And what have I grown?
How do I get out of the city
To a pretty little place of my own?

Cause I’ve never had the room to dream to fly
So I’ve gone out searching for a bigger sky

I listen almost exclusively to comedy music, and The Comeback EP is easily the greatest collection of any 5 songs (plus a jingle) that exists. I hope the podcast comes back someday! kpblohmann

In Eros the Bittersweet, a book of criticism exploring the concept of "eros" (sensual/passionate love, as in "erotic") through ancient Greece by poet and classicist Anne Carson, Carson states that "In Greek lyric poetry, eros is an experience of melting" (39). She then states, "The lover whom [Eros] victimizes is a piece of wax" (39) and that it's "something sensually delicious, yet anxiety and confusion often attend it" (40). Losing my mind over this. :) hellpeoplefan

What do I have to do to get a karaoke track of Don't Give Me That Altitude? My #1 dream is to go to karaoke and hand them my phone or a CD or something and sing Don't Give Me That Altitude for a completely bewildered audience. This album is full of bangers and we are currently unable to choose just one favorite. hellpeoplefan

This is the most dense with jams in my opinion (if you count Debutant Ball as the finale (actually that's not true, Ratless Randy's is unapologetically a whole ass bop)) Missed opportunity in Dragon Me To This Wedding to name Nara's husband Alfred so the priest could say "Alfred, oh, will you marry Nara?" Other than that genuinely flawless album mawnifestation
