1.	Everyone I Know 02:16	lyrics	buy track
i watched you walk away you'll never know just how wrong or sustained we could be i let you unzip me and then watched it all fall i'm not so strong after all i watched you walk away you were humming my songs oh, you'll never know what i saw you watched me thin and fade and disappear into the wall i'm not so strong after all after all
2.	Future Distant History 03:46	lyrics	buy track
calling upon everyone tear the house down, yell the small sounds aging this fast isn't fun feeling lousy when you kiss me you're my future distant history knowing the faucet's been on see the slipstream and it's sickening don't you dare say you will miss me don't let it go, don't let it go to your head let's grow claws and let's start digging up out of our graves forget those crying aloud to be saved and let everything go, cause feelings are lame and let everything go, cause everyone knows that secrets fall asleep in the back of their entitled company where the distant future, past and present meet and where nothing keeps calling upon everyone want to scream once and for all watching you leave is just the start want to close my tired old eyes, i want to hit a home run heart calling upon everyone want to scream once and for all watching you leave is no fun no more missed calls in new england i wish it always felt like fall so far away from anything that once made sense to me blurred led and tv screens, the things i've seen the things i've seen i've lived so many days it's all a haze and i know that i'm not afraid to say i've been wondering, my summer thing, september starts so soon i'm old enough for all the secret words the night wind blows throughout your room calling upon only one hope you mean it that you'll miss me when you're gone cause watching you leave is no fun no more missed calls in new england i wish it always felt like fall
3.	Fragile! 02:52	lyrics	buy track
we could make things right or just stay inside for the night we could make things right or just stay inside for the night for the night so long ago i'll never obtain you or let go sustain you we'll never make things right you'll just stay the night and that's alright and that's alright so long ago i learned all about you your voice made it sound true so long to go we'd drink in the basement i'll never erase it so long ago i'll never obtain you or let go sustain you so long to go what were we facing and won't you erase me?
4.	Flood 02:47	lyrics	buy track
burst encasing, silhouette driving, self help liquid bookshelf drying skinniest mind where the lips were sewn, it doesn't feel like home i saw you in the pages of a book i heard you laughing and i couldn't bear to look i saw you on the red line train alone and you were heading anywhere but ungrown, i can't let it go i was facing nothing outwardly amazing they were right that i was hallowed i was crazy the thoughtless thoughtfulness so deathly entertained me disable me with silence, drunken lovelessness and how you're very sorry oh no, i can't let it go all the drinks that we spilled down in the basement, covered up and now i'm so set back, off track, i'm so ungrown i don't feel i can call anywhere home oh no, i can't let it go me and jenny we would drink down in the basement yeah we'd smile and talk of amy, and our families and all the places and the things we're always missing and the people, and the slipstream, and we'd act like they were listening oh no, i can't let it go we would drink and laugh through truth and lies we would say goodbye
5.	The Day We Met 02:27	lyrics	buy track
the day we met i had so many secrets left to share looked like the shower water had tangled up your hair i showed up at your door wearing my business suit that didn't suit me well you said that you could hardly tell the day we met, it was the same i felt about you then that i will feel about you in the very end i saw you in the tv there and you had the strangest colored hair you tackled me into the dewey grass, i didn't mean to burn your arm the summer night we fell in love in the backyard the day we met, it was the same i felt about you then that i will feel about you when this all begins but no ones really there, and you're not scared
6.	Castle Hill 03:52	lyrics	buy track
I could turn this car around shift shakily through gears and make the long trek to your house and then the engine will scream out i'll put a finger to its mouth and we will figure this thing out i'm really trying but you know i'd be lying if i said i didn't fall in love remember when we broke into your neighbors house it was so many years back now we found a bed, they never found out campaign days and soundly sleeping sideways oh emily, stop kissing me you're probably gone residing in some old song i've probably known all along you've probably known all along you're probably back in some car on some street, in some fucking parking lot where old friends and memories meet how can i describe that i'm not ready for you to leave you're probably far, far too gone but what if you're not? i'm probably far, far too gone but what if i'm not? well i could turn this car around
7.	Mr. Boston 02:19	lyrics	buy track
oh mr. boston they're all the craziest days slippery, sauced and riding the laziest wave you must have lost them when you let loose illusions, tie your shoes and move your hunting water for snakes oh mr. boston do you move when you lose? you know i'm lost and i'm oh so very confused you're chasing chasing singing the clearwater blues and you're the radio-friendly you i guess i'll never learn if you know the words sing them back now i think its your turn, i'm through is that too much to ask oh mr boston when did it get dark? I think I knew you, think you knew from the start you're chasin, chasin... the windows clear color art i'm gonna figure out all the parts i guess i'll never learn if you know the words sing them back now i think its your turn, i'm through is that too much to ask 'cause i am not coming back for days no i'm not coming back for days oh whoa, whoa, whoa maybe you never knew the words to my songs all along i was all out of tune and drinking so just sing them wrong 'cause i am not coming back for days no i'm not coming back for days oh whoa, whoa, whoa
8.	Wasted 02:07	lyrics	buy track
just where does everything eventually start? is it where you're wearing my sweatshirt and walking through the park? so many nights were wasted where we were wasted at UMass Memorial, where the stories told I'm working harder to erase it do you remember how we faced it? in the back lots abandoned undersides of rotting bridges where rusted cars won't hide i will crack my teeth on streetlights to illuminate the dark night did you think i was wasted? did you think i was wasted when i got up the nerve to finally stop and face it? i remember your green dress after that long kiss i near lost my breath

about

You’ve heard the story. Band writes amazing album, stuff doesn’t go well, band breaks up, either no one hears the album or there becomes this really crazy cult following around that album. We're hoping this story becomes the later.

The Other Stars made a statement behind their current hiatus (you can read here) and singer/guitarist Connor Bird even started his own non-profit to make sure people can be more aware and not be scared to take action about their own health.

That brings us to the album at hand. The Other Stars (possibly swan song) new album is entitled The Day We Met, fittingly enough the day that some people get to hear this stellar band may be the last. The words that begin the album in the aptly named song Everyone I Know are "I watched you walk away", possibly eerily signifying what was/is to come. On TDWM you get hit in the face with songs like Castle Hill and Future Distant History while the band also shows they can strip things down with intimate acoustic songs like on their epic album closer Wasted. If you already miss bands like Piebald and Modern Baseball, this album is going to fill your void, but sadly, you may already start missing The Other Stars.

The Day We Met” is out now on CD/Digital via Take This To Heart Records. The album was produced and mixed by Arun of Saves The Day. 10% of every dollar will go to The Organization For The Pursuit of Happiness.
