A Hundred Sundays Wake everyday Thinking sadness is a gift I dangle from trees To give myself a lift There’s a tunnel-end But I wander heavy-hung Reach the cycle ring Remember how to run Waited for the day Now I miss the moon My monochrome December Had not a tint or hue My eyes tried a lie And my tears withdrew Despite a trick of light I miss them over you I was going to write you About the year A hundred Sundays ago But I found a way out Does anybody ever really Write anymore? I can only compose A love song When the clouds discover the sun Together for a time Put your hand in mine So I can let it go Lost in a pendulum Without a bit of swing An uphill composition No soul to sing This tick-tock convention I’m hiding in between Hits of inspiration I miss you endlessly Two years draw near How I stood by Held on so long Drawn out goodbye I was going to write you About the year A hundred Sundays ago But I found a way out Does anybody ever really Fall in love anymore? I can only compose A love song When the clouds discover the sun Together for a time Put your hand in mine So I can let it go

Archaeology 02:55
Archeology A non-dreadnought Holyhead to Dublin Fought modern thoughts Lost, assailing nothing On an eavesdrop I donned my assumptions Of gone fodder talk A song in the discussion: How do five-pint passengers Stay three-sheets devout? They consecrate their sins Before they cast them out Can all your sneaky feelings Stay stranded out at sea? Abandon your allegiance Absolve your memories A cadence in the waves Beat out my reverie there The pulse of your heart Is “A chuisle, mo chroi” here A nautical call Hypnotic salvation The pulse of my heart Waves of variation The passengers sang something confounded by Babel: “You were near the ocean The day the towers fell.” It was sixteen years deep Underneath the sea Unfathomed things Charted out for me It was sixteen years deep Underneath the sea Now what will I do With all that I believe?

The Heretic 03:01
The Heretic They said my head was full of stuff And my soul was trapped in brands Impromptu archive cluttered up Second-guessing secondhand What I can’t sell and I can’t keep Heirloom worthy. I feel torn Folderol? A worthy cause? Why do I feel cause to mourn? Cellar full of cabinet clatter Attic ladder can barely close How little things seem to matter Once it’s time to let them go The things I thought I could repair Are things I just prolong Bequeathed to me from mender friends Beholden to hold on Photo album firmament Or chromatic shutter speed Faces on my fingertips Resin polyester green. Sentimental spread and scatter Old worn storage in repose How little things seem to matter Once it’s time let them go Cellar full of cabinet clatter Attic ladder can barely close How little things seem to matter Once it’s time let them go

about

An Overnight Low has unveiled the latest chapter in their 2023 album, "Holyhead" with the release of the "Carry-On" Trilogy.

In this trilogy of songs, An Overnight Low invites listeners to journey through the subtleties of human emotion with tracks like "A Hundred Sundays," where the protagonist grapples with the bittersweet realization that true happiness might lie in separation from a loved one. The song portrays the conflicting emotions of longing for reunion while finding solace in distance, painting a vivid picture of a relationship destined to be ephemeral yet eternally meaningful. Release date, February 9th.

"Archaeology" further enriches the album's tapestry by exploring the depths of human nature through the lens of a chance encounter on a boat journey from Holyhead to Dublin. The song delves into the concept of shedding societal constraints in transient spaces, such as bodies of water, where individuals feel liberated to embrace their primal instincts. An Overnight Low invites listeners to ponder the transformative power of environments that grant absolution from the burdens of everyday life. Release date, February 23rd.

Completing the trilogy, "The Heretic" serves as a compelling sequel to "The Exorcist," delving into the cathartic process of purging unwanted memories and material possessions. Through introspective storytelling, the band highlights the profound truth that bidding farewell to attachments, whether physical or emotional, can be a transformative journey towards self-discovery and liberation. Release date, March 15th.
