Latter Days
Big Red Machine Lyrics
How long? Is what you asked
How long do you think it's gonna last?
You at the corner store
You were stocking up before the storm
Stacked yourself against the odds
Talking back to an act of god
You and your clever mouth
You were laughing when the lights went out
I recall it all forever
How it found us where we lay
With our arms around each other
In the latter days, in the latter days
How high? Is what you said
How high do you think it's gonna get?
You at the water's edge
On the jetty when you were a kid
Passed around a plastic cup
Passed out spinning in the house where you grew up
You in your childhood bed
And the wildest dream you ever had
You recall it all forever
How it found you where you lay
And you called out for your brother
In the latter days
I recall it all forever
How it found us where we lay
With our arms around each other
In the latter days
How high, do you?
How high, do you?
I recall it all forever
How we sheltered in our place
And we called each other lovers
In the latter days
I recall it all forever
How there was no hiding place
So we called each other brothers
In the latter days, in the latter days
How long do you think it's gonna last?
You at the corner store
You were stocking up before the storm
Stacked yourself against the odds
Talking back to an act of god
You and your clever mouth
You were laughing when the lights went out
I recall it all forever
With our arms around each other
In the latter days, in the latter days
How high? Is what you said
How high do you think it's gonna get?
You at the water's edge
On the jetty when you were a kid
Passed around a plastic cup
Passed out spinning in the house where you grew up
You in your childhood bed
And the wildest dream you ever had
You recall it all forever
How it found you where you lay
And you called out for your brother
In the latter days
I recall it all forever
How it found us where we lay
With our arms around each other
In the latter days
How high, do you?
How high, do you?
I recall it all forever
How we sheltered in our place
And we called each other lovers
In the latter days
I recall it all forever
How there was no hiding place
So we called each other brothers
In the latter days, in the latter days

This fucking line.

Why is no one talking abt how beautiful the women’s voice is. Seriously mesmerizing
@bubblegumbtch1340
I know right and it's so unique
@brookecathey5110
Anais Mitchell is truly one of the best. Her songwriting is unreal. 😍
@sea-saw
Go Google Hadestown.
@johannsergl9102
or listen to her rendition of Tam Lin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u97jHBd8TDA
@hindsy3472
If you love her voice go listen to “Hadestown”. Bon Iver and Anais partnered up to produce a concept album telling the story of Orpheus (Bone Iver) and Eurydice (Anais). It’s one of the most beautiful albums I’ve ever listened to, check it out ✌🏼
